I'm in.

Facet 40193N is available. They're a bit spendy. Any of the Airtex 24V pumps will work with plumbing modifications. 24v Carter pumps like the P74018. In my experience, nothing will push or pull gelled fuel through a filter in any meaningful way. Tends to just destroy the filter. The wax plugs...

Yes. $80-100 range for gasoline applications. A bit more if you want higher output. Diesel low rpm versions tend to be more like $130-150. The 10 si alternators were used for decades. Very common. Still popular because they are easy to use, easy to rebuild, and easy to modify. The only...

I haven't experienced a stuck open with the deuce horn solenoid. I had one that stuck closed. Tends to be a buildup of dirt or corrosion over the decades. I have seen solenoid valves in industrial machines with the problem you seem to have. The main thing I've experienced in all old trucks is...

The ultra exterior flat paint has a full cure time of 4 weeks. Possibly longer depending on humidity and temperature. Dry and full strength aren't the same thing with latex.

With rubber fuel lines, if I have a leak and don't know the age of the other lines, they all get changed. They're not far behind usually.

If you transport drums to fill them, you need to be equipped for handling ~ 380 lb objects. Most fuel suppliers don't like filling drums from their delivery trucks. None of them around my area, at any rate. At least, diesel in drums is not usually considered hazmat.

The debate was between a B-Model or a Super-Liner. It's just doesn't fit under a B hood. Not even a B81. A Super-Liner could hide it with some cheating here and there and look stock. Last I knew, they were aiming toward a B cab rat-rod style.

My sister and her significant other own a trucking and heavy haul business. I get roped into these adventures from time to time when I visit them. That engine came from a 400KW genset. Any detroit is a noisy beast. 16 cylinders is a whole new level of noise with no pipes on it.

4-53T Is far less likely to break the stock drive line. Lighter and probably fairly easy to fit also. How about a 16V-71 going into a Mack frame?

Chlorinated brake cleaner, xylene, naptha, sometimes straight seafoam. Nothing that's safe for you or the engine can dissolve hard carbon. Light petroleum solvents attack the gunk that is holding the particles together. Sometimes mechanical means are the only thing that works.

Welcome aboard!!! MS24537-1 that is. Erik's Surplus is a good source for that. The commercial world won't have anything with the Packard connector. The ohm range it uses is fairly alien to commercial gauges.

The nearest WIX filter is WF10058 or NAPA 600058. It's the same sort of inline screen. The only difference is that the inlet side is 1/4-18 (NPT). The outlet is 1/8-27 (NPT).
