  1. This was in a parade in Staten Island. It is a N.Y / N.J Transite Authority Tunnel Wrecker. Couldn't get near enough to find any info on these other than it's a Century wrecker body and it's on a 96 or 98 inch wheel base. Anybody know about these? Paul
  2. If Brillmans can't help, I would cross reference the Delco part number, you may find the distributor fits an auto engine. Hollander interchange is a good place to start.
  3. Sorry about your outcome. I gather the standards are set by the states? N.Y.S. specs are more liberal than N.J. The 2010 New Yorks standards for emissions failure go by model year. Failure of the opacity test for 1991 or Newer is greater than 40% , 1974-1990 greater than 55% and 1973 or Older greater than 70% The NYS Police and the NYS Department of Transportation and various repair shops conduct heavy diesel inspections. If the vehicle fails the inspection by NYSPD or NYDOT, the driver can receive a summons and a fine of $700 for a first offense and $1300 for a second or subsequent offense. The driver can reduce the fine if the vehicle is repaired and passes a reinspection at a DMV-licensed facility within 30 days of the violation. I recieved a emissions ticket at a NYDOT stop, had it retested at Gabrelli and the fine was waived.
  4. He's right, only the WW II Jap Yamato Class had 18'
  5. All scary pics.....the last one most........ but I do see one of the two happening if the powers that be feel they're losing. Damn! The mans celebrating ramadon.
  6. Never knew the pancake Cumins was used in those trucks. We had an old Faegol bus that hat one of the Cumins pancakes in it. Nice info. Paul
  7. These were built by Dodge with FWD noses for a new car hauler. They did this so the engine was accessable with the tractor mounted car rack.
  8. As one of this countries minorities...a Christan , White , Working man.......voting is going to be difficult but the choices have to be made. I personally don't trust any politition from dog catcher to president. I would like to see term limits, no benifits for life after one term and if they screw up they pay for it. AHH one can dream.......... Paul
  9. "why are you people always think bad ... how can be a President b wrong for his country... definitely he had thought some thing good ... he will definitely do some thing for truckers......." Well here is his help!!!!! And now we are going to have this. It was in our "glorious health care bill" IRS 1099 What is the new paperwork mandate? Small business form 1099-MISC and its reporting requirements. The newly expanded reporting mandate, however, takes the current burden to new and unthinkable levels! Section 9006 of the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" (Public Law No. 111-148) mandates that small business owners file a 1099-MISC with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for payments made to vendors totaling $600 or more in a tax year. That's right every business transaction totaling $600 or more on an annual basis will now require a 1099. Get ready to track down all those TINs (Taxpayer Identification Numbers)! In turn, small business owners will receive a 1099 from each business that they sold goods or services totaling $600 or more (includes Fuel, parts, repairs. rental cars, motel / hotel rooms and more), which will be used to report such income on their annual tax return. Section 9006 of the new health care law has nothing to do with health reform, affordability or quality coverage. It was inserted into the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" as a way to pay for the massive health care bill. However, there is no clear research or data to substantiate the degree to which expanded 1099 reporting will close the so-called "tax gap." And no one really understands how the federal government will deal with the millions upon millions of 1099 forms that will flood IRS offices! The effects of this burdensome new paperwork mandate on small businesses are quite clear. New headaches, more costs, more time and manpower -- and for what? The expanded 1099-MISC requirement will be a nightmare for small businesses. As the SBA Office of Advocacy has consistently found in its research, small firms are disproportionately impacted by federal regulation - and in the case of tax compliance, these costs are 67 percent higher for small firms than for larger businesses. But for larger businesses, administrative costs and burdens will be staggering as well. Imagine all the 1099s office supply stores will receive from small business owners. Imagine the back-office policies, procedures and new staff they will need to accurately capture and store data from these tens-of-thousands, if not millions, of forms. Do you think their costs will increase? Will our supply prices go higher? Now, imagine the economy-wide impact! What about the potential errors in typing or transcribing nine-number TINS? Dump them all !!!
  10. Life can be summarized in 4 bottles....Oh Oh and we're one # 3!!
  11. If she has tatoos you get 3 important things to a good life from her......Shade in the summer, heat in the winter and moving pictures all year long.
  12. AMEN!! and take the "C in C" with you
  13. Thank you both for your answers, The oil is Detergent with a Zinc Additive for Cam wear. It goes along with my gut feelings. The AC Delco filter kit was made for the Mack and a few other truck engines of the 30's / 40's. I modified the mouting bracket to move the filter to a more "hidden spot", the lines I remade with Aeroquip hoses and lengthened. The filter will pick up about 85 / 90%+ of contaminants. Paul
  14. I've finally gotten all the machine work done on my AC engine and am staring to assemble it. The in question I have is oil. I've a 30's AC canister oil filter unit,made the bracket and line up.My question is do I use non detergent oil or since the engine is fresh and now has an oil filter can I use detergent oil? The shop that did the machine work gave me a blank look when I asked. Paul
  15. Wow! I never paid attendion to what was on the carrier. Picked up one on a lift once and the front suspendion fell out from the rust. That was around 1972 in my pops AMC/Fiat Dealership
  16. In1971, Clark Transport asked Chrysler if they could build them some Diesel tractors with a lower cab height than the current CN900 models. They said no problem as long as they could buy thirty. The front end sheet metal is the same as used on FWD's AT-7 model. Both Clark and most drivers nick named them "Polish Peterbilts". Quite a few ran til the mid / late 80's
  17. Peretronix is a good convercion unit,I've converted both my '41 Chevy 3/4 ton and my '63 Corvan to it with no problems.., One 6 volt and the other 12 volt. Paul

  21. Our family homestead is just before the VMA in Fork Union off of 15, Down the road in Kents Store is a farm with about 12 or 15 1940's / 50's Macks. None are too bad shape either. The gentleman hasn't decided which he wants to part with yet. I'll get some photos when I,m down there gain. Paul
  22. Well at least I know my furture is secure......I got a warm feeling knowing I'll never be able to retire because of these "changes" I'll remember in November though. Paul
