Clear line isn't fuel rated but I like to keep some around to install so I can see if I have bubbles in the fuel going into the IP.
Is it a consistent big fat chuff chuff chuff miss like a steam engine? If it is, it is likely the head gasket between cylinders 5 and 6.
That is a guy from the Far East somewhere, has a bunch of green gold and is always tinkering with and rebuilding deuce engines. I've talked to him on the FB deuce group.
I agree, that's how I've done it when at the shop where I have big wrenches. I wanted something to keep in the truck for on the side of the road. I saw some for $25 and ordered...they are thin and I doubt would work. Haven't tested yet. I can measure if you want dims, and remake them at work...
Thanks. That’s where I was heading.

The batteries that were in the truck were junk. Small and old, just placekeepers, was slaving the truck to start. It’s my project M50 I saved from the scrapper, which is also turning out to be a test mule for things like this alt and the aluminum Chevy radiator.

Ideas? Thanks
Better pics
