... and cleanliness

Clevite or king bearings. Most important “QUALITY MACHINE WORK”

Wish I knew what it was like! I’m all for fixing what ya got

Guess that’s ok if you have the money lol

I know a guy that would buy a new truck, when it needed new tires he would trade it in

Yea I’m not to up on the whole vacuum advance and all, everything else I have is all mechanical and locked out, but yea no pinging or anything.... only problem is sometimes hot or cold it doesn’t fire right up... could be a fuel issue too

hey guys, quick timing question It’s a 1969 d100, truck seems to run good just checking over a few things since I don’t know a bunch about these little engines. So with vacuum advance plugged im at 10* @ 750-800rpm idle, and about 35* @2500rpm With vacuum advance working I’m at 45* @2500rpm...

Where is the timing at?

Yea I do drive it a lot, I'd like to get decent mileage regular driving, if I was pulling a trailer it is what it is.... This would be a cool swap for the slant, my wallet prolly wouldn't allow it tho haha Cummins 2.8... 160 horse 270 torque

Oh, and your truck would look slick if it was gloss black like your car!

Yea a good friend of mine has an old ford with a 300 six cylinder, he pulls a big camper and trailer with it. As long as it's relatively flat I don't see why the slant won't pull it! It would be nice... pull these to the track behind the old d100!

Yea I don't have a tach, but what seems like around 3000rpm mine has a knock to it, I'm not so worried about it now since I'm going to re build it. The 4 speed oils be nice, I'm always trying to grab another gear after 3rd lol.... nice truck btw!

since I almost have dads motor finished up, and my car is seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, I want to pull the slant out of my 69 d100 maybe the end of the summer and give it a nice rebuild. This truck is just a driver that needs to get good mileage and I'll probably pull a trailer...

Yea I always used champion but the last time I used them they wanted to foul up, switched to Ngk and bam, works great!

Thanks a lot dan! I'm not much on no autolite ford plug so this is more good news lol

Also the head that's on it does not have the spark plug tubes

hey guys, new to the slant six engines, I just picked up a 1969 d100 with the 225 slant 6. I'm giving it a little tuneup and the guy at the parts store said it takes the autolite 65 spark plugs, the motor currently has autolite 24s. So something doesn't jive. What plugs should this thing have...

Dana is way overkill, but would be fine. you won't have to worry about breaking it

been using flex a lite flex fans for long time with zero problems

is your tank vented? maybe the line is pinched causing the tank to build pressure?

kerosene works wonders as well

With it running did you check timing with a timing light?
