Hoot: Nice looking engine. The Chrysler engines were installed in the Macks for a military contract, although a few were sold to civilian departments. Most Mack "B" models used Mack "707" gas engines.
My department in New Hampshire had five "B"s, all with the "707" engine. The first Mack diesels in fire apparatus were installed in three "B"s purchased by the Hamilton, Bermuda Fire Brigade in 1960. Enjoy your unique
engine.
It is a very nice B model hope you keep and show it ,do you belong to SPAAMFAA or a chapter of it? I have a 1954 LS85 open cab Mack but needless to say most all musters & parades in the Jersey /PA area have been cancelled due to the Covid 19 hoping for a better year in 21

WELCOME TO THE GROUP ,all of the previous replies are all pointing you in the right directions ,I have a 54 LS85 open cab , Petronics ignition system installed (make a big difference) also check your air cleaner ,I changed to a Vortex (from AutoZone) of course not an OEM but better, next thing I'm doing is changing oil filter from a sock to spin on (not a OEM but who cares). I have a friend who owns the Landsdale C model Mack.

I assume your gas tank is in the rear between the frame rails, I previously had a 47 mack pumper that the tank was mounted above the fire pump, that on had a cheap electric pump did not last long.
