Hi I have a 70 R608 with the 707C engine and it melted the pistons on me twice ,do yourself a favor and weld in a bung at the exhaust pipe ,couple inches from where the steel pipe connects to the manifold and monitor your pyrometer and see how hot your running ,mine at 1800 RPM would go up to 1300° pretty quick and melted the Pistons ,still haven’t found the exact reason why ,water temperature does not go up ,just exhaust temperature pretty expensive to replace the pistons in that girl ,good luck

Thank you for trying to help me I will double check everything again water temperature does not go up ,its exhaust temperature with the pyrometer goes up extremely fast when it starts to lug down, went up a heat range hotter on the spark plugs haven’t been running it much yet to see if that helps I appreciate the thought have a good day my friend will post when I find a problem

Hi are you still looking for overdrive magazines

Hi not so far, I also have a 49 Chevy 4400 series 235 six cylinder and it takes exactly the same rotor cap and button as my Mack ,also the per Tronics was the same as I put in my Chevy . everything else is just Standard turn signal relays. I changed it over to negative ground from positive and only had to reverse the wires on the temperature gauge and it still works today , went to a one wire alternator and did away with everything else on the old charging system in 04 and haven’t had a problem with electrical at all .

- Hi I thank everybody for the answers .the timing is part of the problem the first time the engine blew I did Have the timing advance too much the book and I have the original book calls for 2° and that’s what it set for with regular fuel I have a pyrometer on it now to keep an eye on the internal temperature of it but it’s still getting too hot I’ve triple check the Intake for vacuum leaks nothing there in process of drilling out the jets on the carburetor but it’s slow going and with winter I don’t get a chance to run it that much thanks everybody for all the suggestions will keep you informed merry Christmas

I’m using regular 88 fuel with the 10% ethanol in it it’s about all I can find around here the water temperature doesn’t go up it’s exhaust temperature melts the pistons

Yes I believe you are right on both of them call for 3 to 4 pound pressure on the fuel put a pyrometer on it a few inches past the exhaust manifold and watch your temperature it will go to 1500 degrees real quick

Hello I have a 7707 c that exhaust temperature melts the Pistons rebuilt the motor 40 over new pistons rings and it’s still running hot put a pyrometer on it ,tried drilling out the jets in the carburetor it’s still running way too hot ,unless I pull the choke out better than halfway to keep it temperature down any advice is this common with them or should I put a four barrel Holly or anything else on it. It is the original carburetor yet
