I believe it is the turn signal assy

General torque values from a Cummins Engine Co. repair manual. Exhaust manifold bolts are 7/16-14.

Out here, Teamsters are strong. My Machinists are fading, but there is hope on the horizon. Save, save, save. Vote, union, local/national elections.

Congrats on the new job! What union/local? Got a pension? Truck is coming along nicely!

HEMTT, I believe it is an 8V92 driptroit, no fuel lines to crack. It is a common rail type of system. A positive displacement gear pump directly feeds passages in the heads. Maybe crack the discharge line out of the gear pump, but it should fire fine with a bit of help from the pressurized tank.

Same principle as Guyfang, just get a mess of rags, stick the air nozzle into the filler neck and pack tightly with the rags. Hold your hand over the wad of rags or they will blow out. AND a little will do ya, really, 2 psi maybe. If you have a full tank, S L O W L Y release the pressure or you...

I have not seen Brad here in a while. I know he moved, he was a mile up the road from me and I don't see his stuff there.

Rules out cab mounts. There is an NSN/PN printed on the horn, maybe you can run that and see if is the correct part for your truck.

After reading this, I was gonna say check for an exhaust restriction, but you got it figured out!

In my experiences, if the pedal stops then slowly goes to the floor, it is usually a master cylinder issue. Did you install ChiCom master and wheel cyls? If so, I know in the past, the cups are junk and I have actually seen a wheel cylinder cup split. The rubber is crap, like Harbor Freight...

Is the heater box mounted to the cab or chassis?

If a cab mount goes away the clearance under the hood will go away.

New style gaskets will fix issues with the multi piece gaskets. IF you need to take it apart, as soon as you disassemble it, you will see the issue with the original design. No need to re torque after replacement with new gaskets.

It is a 40's-50's era engine. It was actually used in Oliver tractors. IF you were to twin turbo it, put a pump on it that delivered 3 times the fuel the stocker does, it might be something to consider. That is done in pulling tractors. The bottom end wouldn't survive. The turbo was added to the...

1 x 1/2 x 2 1/2 long with an old socket I had lying around.

Do you drive the truck and not just start and idle it? Those are old style gaskets, when they start to leak the leakage will start oozing out of the tabs under the manifold. De grease it and drive it. Looks like it is just slobbering out the ports. Pop testing injectors is un necessary unless it...

I voted mixed bucket. My turd looked as it did when I got it, but did upgrades to make it work better. I plan to do the same on the next one I get. If I am working on something at the Museum, I try and keep it as original as possible, even going as far as evap-o-rusting fasteners, washers, etc...

Cummins changed from 6 digit S/N to 8 digit somewhere in 70/71 years IIRC

Wow, it truly is early! The plastic washer lookin' thing is the oil slinger. If it is not installed, you will have a leak at the front. 181236 is the ORIGINAL p/n for the slinger, 124239 a bit newer and 3200287 is an even newer number.

The ESN is a very old one, wonder if it was a replacement at sometime in it's life. I can share the manual, but, I think I will scan this one and put it in the TM section along side the 900 series manual I put there a few years back. PM me your phone number and I can take a picture of the pages...
