johnsartain Posted October 11, 2017 Report Posted October 11, 2017 That is the oil pump. If you will take notice it is aligned with the distributor in the opposite side of the motor. In these engines the gear is on the oil pump rather than the distributor which can make timing the engine a bit trickier if the oil pump is removed as the top of the oil pump shaft is slotted for the end of the distributor shaft.

johnsartain Posted October 11, 2017 Report Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) I am curious about what the bracket attached to the frame is holding and what it goes to/where it come from. I have that same bracket but it isn't attached to anything. I cant think of anything it may go to with the exception of maybe the Hand brake cable.

5027 steve Posted October 11, 2017 Author Report Posted October 11, 2017 Any takers on if that's a factory or aftermarket heater???? Quote
Reg Evans Posted October 11, 2017 Report Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) It's an after market heater. The first image is of a fresh air heater and the second is of a standard heater. Edited October 11, 2017 by Reg Evans Quote

Expand John, Are you referring the bracket at the bottom of Steve's picture, just ahead of the exhaust pipe? That is the parking brake cable for trucks with the under-dash park brake handle. Quote

Expand Ed; Sure it can go in like you mention but I think this is a bit misleading. I bet they all left the factory installed in the same position. A study of the manual seems to confirm this. Quote
5027 steve Posted October 11, 2017 Author Report Posted October 11, 2017 Ok guys -Me and my son took the truck for a drive today (shake down run) the truck shifts just like butter on any upshift but can't get it to down shift without a grind of gears...we tried double clutching,waiting for rpm to drop. Nothing seemed to work ....Thanks a head of time ...Steve N. Zach Quote

Mine was missing the parking brake cable. at some point when I change rear ends I have to figure out how to tie the parking brake handle to the rear end. That'll be a hoot I bet. Quote
Los_Control Posted October 12, 2017 Report Posted October 12, 2017 probably not so bad to make it work. When you go to the bone yard and choose a rear end, grab all the e-brake cable and fittings. All you need to do is mount the brackets and connect it to your existing handle ... 5 min tops 1 Quote

5027 steve Posted October 12, 2017 Author Report Posted October 12, 2017 I used the search function and couldn't find anything on the hard down shifting any ideas ???? Maybe clutch adjustment???? Or bad trany Quote

Merle Coggins Posted October 12, 2017 Report Posted October 12, 2017 That one should have synchros for 2nd and 3rd. If they were bad I would think you'd have an issue upshifting too, unless you're just that smooth... Quote
5027 steve Posted October 17, 2017 Author Report Posted October 17, 2017 Ok B-2 Brother's next hill to climb....We have antifeeze coming out of the water pump shaft ....Are water pumps available???? Or do we have to find a rebuild kit???? Thanks Quote
