Once upon a time i bought a 64 impala, 327 auto. Made the puchase, got a plate. Drove it home the 50km and parked it. Pulled the stick the next day and it had made 100% more oil magically. New oil and filter. New fuel pump and back in beeznass.

Ive seen it in multi strand wire where just 2 or 3 strands are good and the rest are broken inside the insulation. Called a partial open circuit. Creates a climbing heat and resistance when passing current.

Sorry to hear youre still fighting the gremlins. When you had your plugs out, what did they look like. Black and soot covered or a normal tan/grey? Were they wet looking or fluffy dry? You could have wiring with higher than normal resistance to your coil. It can test ok with a test light or...

Yep, the big book of what-the-hell has a spec for fuel volume 30 seconds cranking with fully charged batteries @ fuel pump outlet. I've been lucky and never had to do that test. So glad to hear you got it beat. Now youre invincible..time for some foot-to-floor action👍

Check your float level setting, and that the float actually floats and doesnt have a hairline crack or pinhole. Float level too low or a float full of gas will allow the engine to idle but once the main jets are in play the engine sucks the float bowl dry and *cough* fun over. Then the fuel pump...

That looks really good, and is perfect for a 2 axle truck. I'm a bug and i like my air brakes. If i could make an air brake spider work on our axles without reinventing the wheel i would hahah. I just did the same conversion (hydromax) on a 1980 C60 that had that horrible hydrovac single system...

I could use 900-20's 1100-20's 1200-20's 1400-20 nato treads and 1600-20 at3's or 22 ply XZL

outstanding :)(y)

Does anyone know of a source for 1600-20 tires in or around the pacific northwest? all the vendors seem to be in texas or back east making shipping prohibitive.

No doubt. The leftists here are doing their best to set us back to the stone age. Have us all crammed into peasant wagons where they can track and tax our every movement.

IF it was previously registered in bc you are in the right lane. If it was registered to him you are good. If it was registered to him and he lost it you just have to go with him to an autoplan with the vin# and they can look it up in the system and print him out a new set (make sure he signs...

Going south probably wont be a problem as it'll be US reg's. The problem may arise in the exporting it from canada part. If you dont have registration the border patrol services may not know (or care) how to tax it. Will a bill of sale be sufficient legally to support your claim of ownership? I...

Well. I have unfortunate news for everyone in bc that is in the vintage vehicle hobby, military or not. After wasting 3 hours of my life with ICBC it turns out our rainbow licking unicorn sucking tree humping politicians have ammended the motor vehicle act. Section 25.1 now states that any...

All good. I can certainly work with what we have. Thanks👍

I had a look at the diagrams. Thanks for posting those up. Most of the extras are involved with making the abs system work. I wont be adding that as there is no way to conrol each wheel individually. I want to keep things as simple as possible with the best redundancy thats reasonable.

Looks like 2279461 and SKF 25970 are alternates for the quoted 7413229. Both include the aux dirt lip. Rock Auto has the SKF for $16.09 CAD.

Outstanding. I'll see if they will give me the time of day lol.

We will be spending just under 100k buying new SKF intensifiers. If we can get the origonal design number and specs i can get our rep to put me in touch with someone higher up in the seal dept. Maybe get our own number and a custom seal. Its worth a try.

Shiny!!

Great thread. Back in the concrete days, I would get jammed up woking 6 or 7 days a week so i wasnt able to get out to the bush. Eventually frustration would take over and after work I'd jump in the M37 and go crash through the roughage in the back yard/neighbours yard lol. Eventually i was...
