Make sure the sender is grounded. It won't work with a marginal ground. I ran an extra ground wire to the frame rail from the sender because relying on the the tank straps wasn't good enough.
Been licensed cor a wbile. Haven't keyed a mic in at least 10 years. I just can't sit there and listen to the same convo over and over and over.
Only keep a radio in my truck as we have a good repeater network and it would be handy in the desert in an emergency. Haven't yet had an emergency.
12v on a 6v starter isn't a bad thing. I've been doing that on flathead Fords for decades. But 12v starters for flat 6's shouldn't be hard to come by. There were hundreds of applications for them for decades.
I have one in my 12V conversion. Got it from a REAL parts store.
The covers on my truck (Canvas) have faded to nearly white from our intense sun. What recommendations do you have for a brand/type of paint to use to bring it back to color that won't just flake off?
The covers are not waxed or rubberized canvas. They were treated 2 years ago with the Canvak...

And clear and readable, to boot.
I don't get them on my Heathkit Receiver tuned to the same band in the same room. Very weird.
The reason for adjusting these HOT on the flathead sixes is to avoid the vagaries. Since the wear on the valve stem and the tappet screw will affect the accuracy of a cold reading, adjusting them hot with everything grown to its operating conditions makes for a more accurate adjustment.
In these...
Just a rule of thumb about valve adjustments. Loose is good for idle and low speed operation at the expense of high rpm performance. Tighter is better for high rpm performance at the expense of low RPM torque and idle. Since these 230's aren't exactly high revving, the wider gaps work well.
With the drying up of correct spark plugs for these trucks, fouling the ones you have with lead doesn't seem a good idea. They have hardened exhaust seats to begin with.
