AZB755V8

What I have to do is take out the delivery valve and do the static timing to get a baseline. I know how to do that and until now was the only way I set timing. Just bought a Kent-Moore J-33300 timing tool (clamp on) on Ebay for $200, about as cheap as I have found. I will then see how far off it reads and just adjust the timing difference in going forward. That way I can adjust timing without the mess of pulling pump valve apart every time. Thanks Guys for the help.

Isn't that the old air and tube in a jar way of doing it? Can do it with air or fuel pumping in to supply port. It's about 5 bucks in parts or an I not understanding? Is that the accurate way of doing it? From Glenn, how far off are the clamp on lights? I am looking for accuracy here. Sorry just have questions on what to get.

Thinking that way to. I like what I have but maybe a different paint job. Don't have good storage for more trucks but adding on is not out of the question. More storage I like that idea, so more Mack's You Guys have some nice 2/3 wheelers.. 70 in NJ today WOW that is bike weather anywhere.

I have the best of the world a few dogs, Macks, and a hog, Harley, to keep me working on something. Ya know what they both have in common, comin from the factory with a leak or two. I have high hopes this Christmas and it is coming true. Believe it or not the wife said I should go and look at a new Harley, after Christmas. I got a nice one but it is getting up in years or so she said. So time for a new one but I still like the old one. I don't know how to take this one, I'm getting up in years too, so... My old Mack's are off the table but those new HD's are sure nice. Anyway do you Guy's have 2 wheelers old or new?

Ho, Ho Ho.. Best Wishes and Full Dog Dishes to ALL. Merry Christmas to All And to the others Happy Holidays!!

First what are you dealing with, got a 5 speed, sound like direct in 5th. A 3 speed Aux, box is worth about 200 to 300 RPM's in overdrive. Like Superdog said it should be good to 75 MPH @ 2100RPM. I like 4.17's got them in my B with a double over Quad and 75MPH is 1800RPM on big rubber.

Best price I saw was $355 for it. I also was looking at the one that clamps on the #1 injector line and uses a timing strobe timing light gun. It's about $460 though. I have set point/ dual points on many gas engines with feeler gages to the spec., remember dwell meters to, double checked with a timing light gun to find I was off a degree or two. I can also check timing at specific RPM's, You and I know static timing can't do that and what we are doing to these engines can really effect performance. I think the clamp on with strobe light is the way to go and it can be used on anything with a mechanical injector pump. Just cant bring myself to part with $460 at the moment. An adapter box is from the UK and about $190 and use a standard strobe timing gun but no RPM readout still with a good gun it's about $260 total. Still looking... anyone got what I need?

I would think about giving one of my dogs a new home if I got that for Christmas. Man I have been GOOD this year... but still wondering at what..

Looking for a Kent-Moore or OTC J-37077 injector pump timing AB light. For timing P7100 pumps.

That is NUTS but my brother does it a lot on the farm. Said its the only way to get a skid steer tire back on the bead without taking the wheel off the machine. He had alway been a little crazy though. Sorry to hear a person was killed setting a bead, unfortunately it will not be the last time.

I thing you are missing your calling, restoration. Details are the difference between Good work and Great work, that is some Great work. That dog is to nice to go to work, are you sure it is a woking dog? The other Supers are Great too, no doubt there is pride in the pack. OK now I have to go and work on my Super you have raised the bar. The dog facing issue, do the dogs face each other on the mud flaps? That is the way I have them. Been told both ways what way is right?

Flea Bay (mack hub cap) 18 hours left at $30 now.

www.taillightking.com is the place I got my Green marker lights, plastic lens. Not KD 517's but new. For $100 all 5 lights that match was a deal, 3 green and 2 amber. Even got red, blue and purple plus replacement glass lens for other lights. No one as ever asked if they were original, they do look good on the LTL. Had to redrill one hole. Old hole is covered by the light anyway.

Perfectly said Paul. I would add do it for the passion, fun, hobby, interest....

I can say that I will never get the money out of most of my stuff if sold. I do restorations and have bought restorations. It is far cheaper to buy a restored vehicle than do one. The reason I do them is it is exactly what I want and money is secondary. That said My B was restored by Matt Pfahl's it was when I was working like crazy and making crazy money. Time was what I did not have. My budget was $90K but you know how that works. There is stupid money in it on top of all the parts I had to start with. It is what I wanted though. I had to buy the wife a new Corvette to make peace. I bought a 34 Ford at auction years ago for $50K plus the juice. It was perfect and all real steel. Years late a guy told me he knew the car and worked on the restoration/ modification of it, said there was $270K in the car!! Divorce was the reason for the sale. If I could get $60K for it I would sell it today. What anything is worth is what someone is willing to pay for it. If you are looking at these old trucks to get out the money you put in don't get involved at the prices you are hearing. Those guys saying that a restored truck is only worth $10-20K are living in the past. Or lowballing prices but why? A nice B, LT or really any big truck, with rebuilt engine, cab, frame off restoration can go from $30-40K easy up to the cost of a new truck. depending on a lot of things. Time involved is a big factor. Just a reman engine is $10K and up.

Like a man that knows the limit of the wallet. I sad the same thing and know you have the addition to old iron dogs, you'll get more.

MAN that is a smokin deal. I have an extra E9 that would be right at home. Hope it went to a lovin home... I think there will be more with CAL Regs being enforced. I am waiting. I got a good home for a few. Like the round head light Supers..

There are a few places to go for antique lens and whole lights. Just Google. I was looking for Green KD lens for my LTL cab lights. hard to come by but found a few websites and got two sets in a matter of a week. Good luck, they are out there.

It's a RAT ROD, Just proves my point, oh forgot what the point was.... oh yea to much time and money.. LOL He's Expressing himself as an artist. Some thought went into that one.

That is a BIG BOY!! Nice. I like fenders you can walk on. The only animal I can think of is an Elephant... BIG and don't get in its way...

Glad no one was hurt in this. Pad or axel mount failure is a sure thing here. I would not be to quick to point the finger at the mechanic. Take a look at the trunnion placement to the rear gate, that is a lot of distance. It looks like an old coal bucket setup. All the weight is over the boogies and not distributed over the length of the frame. Overloading the boogies can be done and the whole truck be under weight. The failure was triggered when the truck went over the bridge "bump" that is a huge shock load at that speed and loaded, just one to many times. I would be looking at bad chassis engineering. Maybe that is why the the trunnion was replaced in the first place.

Nice looking Big nose B. Glad to see it still doing what it dose best. Hope it has power steering. Drivers out here would rather stay home than drive something with a stick or two, no AC, automatic or stereo like that though. Happy to see it working and a guy driving it...

Best truck show ever!! Been going off and on since the mid 90's If you like Mack's Macungie and Gerhart's are it. There is everything else there too and really nice stuff. I was in Cleveland at the time now in AZ but have flown back to go a few times. Planing on taking my three truck the first time in 2016. about 2700 miles.

I know an LT and RW are like the perfect pair throw a B in and have a Trifecta. They were on my wish list for a while. If you are looking for a nice LT last time I was in Oregon Mackdaddy was putting one together to sell. That was several years ago but...

I am opinionated about this subject. I do hate rat rods. I love an original Mack truck or a top notch restoration, Personal expression is OK but why screw up a perfectly good Mack to express yourself??? I have looked a rat rods as just that a vehicle that is something that is just "something" and not really anything. If you take all the parts and time to put "something" together should it be "something" and not just your personal expression? The Best that anyone can say is "that is something" but what is the point? It takes a lot of everything, time, money, respect and research to have a correct truck and a rat rod is just a wish it could be... Just my 2 cents.
