    Ya know ??? for a novelty truck like you'll be using it, probably any carb with the same base bore spacing will get it to run. It's only a 400, lots of Fords used a 2 barrel on 390s and such.

    That looks like it might have been a useful piece of equipment at one time. Cool Power too.

    Notice how he had the good sense to leave the Superliner home and nott ake it out in the rain 😉 Nice video.

    I've never seen a clean break in there. Usually to some extent the axle shatters. Even if you do manage to get the broken piece out of the side gear and out the housing, your proud feeling of accomplishment fades fast when you hold it again the other part and realize lots of axle is missing. This is most often a case of the longest route actually being the shortest.

    Is he the real Family Guy ? Looks like him and is about as smart.

    Volvo is developing engines as well. High tech..... but still Diesel fired.

    I'm like'n the 1150 TC. They were quite the piece of equipment for their time. Rare sight here now.

    I believe that arrangement is called "modular" (that valve that you just keep adding to for more components to control withone air source) 👨‍🎓

    Is that the new hood ornament they'll be using on the macks made in Mexico ? Or will they be modeled after a chihuahua ?

    Why would Mack or Volvo ever put a big engine in a truck again ? The MP10 or D16 did miserably as far as sales went. Most vocational trucks don't need them and most VNLs ??? the guy with the ear buds and crocks.... he couldn't care less. Then factor in the handful of guys that think they need a 600, and have no idea how to actually use something like that, He'll be back crying for warranty on stuff that isn't covered. Caterpillar saw it coming, now Volvo does too.

    Safe bet you'll never see a big bore engine in a Mack ever again.

    They can check all they want Bob, when they have only a small idea what they're looking at there's not much chance to get it fixed. Now if it was some mindless thing on tick tok or something you needed fixed.... you'd be all set. But hey !!!! they showed up that day 🤣

    Be a nice tractor for a dump trailer in New York with a 117000 pound permit. 😏 take those gay mufflers off and let that puppy bark.

    That's about all the information that's in the Chilton book. The book isn't specific to the truck, it covers several. But if you think it'd be of any help, I'd ship it to you.

    Most of the upgrades require 12 volts to the distributor . IDK if the truck uses a balast resistor (or wire) , but I know most need 12 volts . The Petronix distributors are emphatic about that when you buy the whole distributor I know.

    Not much different than 4.64s. Still a 70+MPH truck.
  21. Mark T
    You would look good in that one.

    Carb kits are on Ebay. If that's a two barrel it's likely a 852FFG. I have an old Chiltons book Iv'e been looking at here. That truck reminds me so much of my uncle's dump truck when I was little. Hit a soft spot or something.

    That big gas engine likely has the same carburator base as a Holley 4150. I think that one easy plug n play one is a (Sniper) ? Get some clean gas to the engine , I think I'd be more worried about heat'n up the ignition some way. I'd imagine someone makes something that can make it transistorized instead of points. A nice hot high energy ignition will be harder than a good rebuild on a old Holley. ( I'm assuming it has some form of Holley on it). 401 might only be a 2 barrel . Either way, a kit probably is available .

    Have you seen inside a carburetor after sitting with ethanol gas

    Truck sounds great, and a good reason is you certainly seem to be pretty good at shifting it. Even if you were a driver with lots of experience, you got pretty good at it concidering how long it's actually been running since the restoration.
