TREMENDOUS!!! What is the brake lathe? Don't recognize it. I've used an OLD Van Norman many decades ago, and used and have an Ammco combo disc/ drum lathe. I've literally turned thousands of drums and rotors in 15 some years selling parts

If they are steel tube I would silver braze JIC flare (same as AN except steel and sold anywhere tractor/ industrial hydraulics are sold) on to them.

The problem you have with 68? and earlier autos is that the converter snout and crankshaft converter pilot hole is smaller. There used to be a bushing you can buy, but I do not know if or who. It is just a ring, you could get one machined if you have a friend with a lathe The other...

I don't believe they are AN. I was under the impression they are SAE. Check the ANGLE OF THE FLARE SURFACE. AN/ JIC (and you can get JIC at any hydraulics supply outfit) are 37 degrees. SAE (which are common copper/ brass fittings, and used in stationary refrigeration, are 45...

Why in heck haven't you posted any of the details?

Both / either look good to me

The two "push on" flag terminals for the neutral switch and the start wire are blue, AKA up to no14. (Actually I guess you could use red) These vary some brand to brand, and if the wire seems a bit loose, I strip them long, and fold the wire over double before inserting into the...

You can't always get what you want. This is not a counseling service, nor a doctor's office. NObody is paying anyone here to participate, for their time, knowledge, or anything else. If you cannot be bothered to READ the thread, DIGEST what was advised, and TRY a few things then...

IT ALSO COULD BE AS simple as cam timing. Since you "paid a shop" to build this engine, they should be able to supply EXACTLY what cam was installed and HOW IT WAS DEGREED

There are lots of us on here "old". I'm 74, and not exactly in the best of shape. Last summer, from end of Aug through end of Nov, I tore my 2WD Dodge Cummins completely apart, another parts truck completely apart, and converted mine to 4WD The thread...

The Dana 60 per se is NOT what is eating power, although it certainly will eat some Refer back to POST2 Tire size? Cam specs? Timing? As mentioned carb opening AND JETTING, what do the plugs look like? It is pretty easy to overcam a SB with low compression, and pretty easy to...

VERY nice!!

Brian I wish you well and hope you come out OK

Words to live by. I call them State Phucking Farm.

Spent 4 years in San Diego, NAS Miramar, 70 -74. Raced some (breakout, not class) at the old strip at Carlsbad up N. Had a girlfriend for awhile from Poway Had friends down in Paradise Hills out E of National City. Had a fellow Navy friend stationed at Imperial Beach. He...

That is a great lookin start for a ride!! But I don't understand your comments------are you having trouble seeing your own post?

NICE!!

VERY cool!!

Is the top fixed, or does it "pop up" and down?

I'm not an expert, but am a fan of those old pickups.

Not familiar with those rigs, hard to advise, but I would not want the weight of the transmission on body surfaces while towing and bouncing around. Isn't there a frame member or suspension parts in there you can engage to support the trans? Maybe say, cut a 2x6 the right length to...

That is pretty darn cool!!

Don't see enough of the early Dakotas. Thanks for posting this

Geez man stuff some rags in that intake!!! You got a shop, more than me. I'm outside, rain, hot, cold, whatever LOL. Just getting over covid......I hope

How are you controlling power up? AKA vacuum switch, brake light circuit, etc?

This is for power boost/ boost or just testing or what?

You are already in the danger zone. Start by determining if your marks are accurate, aka piston stop

One manufacturer, I did not research dealers/ availability Vacuum Switches | Whitman Controls Another VM - Nason PTC Over in your neck of the world I'd bet someone like Siemens would have them If worst comes to worst, make one. Say a vacuum advance can, make a bracket and use...

"Panhard bars" can REALLY screw you up if not properly designed. This is because they can impose side to side thrust as the entire suspension and bar moves, and side stress on the bar and springs. As the axle moves upward and downward, the bar can do this, and it is just not...

THE ABOVE IS COMPLETE NONSENSE!!!!! "Cross steering" AMPLIFIES steering problems in 4x4's!!!! this is because the axle CAN MOVE from side to side due to bumps and road crown, and if the drag link is "cross" the frame as shown, THE AXLE MOVEMENT CAUSES THE TIRES TO STEER...
