your 42 mack is really scharp ! it looks very close to my 47 mack , I just had the master cyl and hydravac unit rebuilt, working on brakes and engine now , what type of electrical connector do you have that goes into the back of the officers search light?? thanks,AL -
the pull knob on the left doesn't operate(can't pull or push it in or out) the knob on the right does operate, went pushed in (red light off) the engine will start and run ,when pulled out it seems to run better , these swiches must be for the dual ignition and the one on the left that doesn't operate must be stuck in the on position...... does this sound true???? thanks guys

Flush-out Brake Lines
609albert posted a topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I have a 47 mack , sending out the master cyl. and hydrovac units to be rebuilt, would like to clean out the brake lines before putting rebuilts back in, what is the best way to flush?? -
-
thanks for the advice, the truck has a hydr -vac system with a reserve vaccum tank on the other frame rail, I traced the line back from the reserve tank to the engine and and found it disconned (a pipe line from a sort of regulator on the firewall ) the line from this regulator to the manifold is gone and their is a plug threaded into the manifold. I don't know why it has been disconnected.
