    I worked quite a few in the refineries back in the day, but somehow the way she presents it makes it look like more fun than I remember them being

    TransAxle was acquired by Dallas-based private equity firm Crossplane Capital in 2020. I remember when they were fairly new back in the early 80's. There was an Italian guy (born in Italy) that ran the rebuilding shop, he was really smart. That being said, I never much cared for the sales guys and management. I did buy a lot of stuff from them though, they had a lot of stock, and Cinnaminson was only like 20 minutes away from me

    Just go see Mustafa the brake drum maker. Take him the old one and he'll hook you right up.

    I think that floorboard section was the same for all R Models, even the 66 to 68 with the clutch pedal went down through the floor.

    Been 10 years TV free for me. Sometimes women give me static about it, I just tell them I hate TV stars, movie stars, basically all celebrities. I don't get the attraction they have to famous mother F ers that wouldn't stop to piss on you if you were on fire

    BTW, there are electronic conversions for that Delco distributor. This one is for negative ground 12 volt https://pertronixbrands.com/products/pertronix-1168ls-ignitor-delco-6-cyl-lobe-sensor?srsltid=AfmBOoqMP45A3wFeJkL1klXr6Cm6mzOyKU1Yx6-RI-e2Iv9YphQ271YM

    I think ,018. Delco changed the points to a newer style in 63 or 64. The older ones (DR1HV) sat on a pin sticking up out of the breaker plate. The later ones (DR6HV) the pin was part of the points and stuck down into a hole in the breaker plate. BTW, I believe the condenser is a D-203

    Take a picture of the distributor and the points and post it. I kinda think they were Delco Remy distributors. They are 1950's era six cylinder Chevy points. DR1HV if they look like this.

    How do these late model DEF engines do fuel mileage wise in dump truck service?
  16. Joseph Cummings
    Seemed like they got about 6 miles to the gallon, just like all our Maxidynes. All that crap, Econodyne, Maximiser Two Speed Governor, 3.87 axle ratios seemed like it made so little difference in fuel consumption. I think the guys that bought those new were the ones with slim profit margins that ran lots of miles. Maybe if you had 100 trucks running on the highway all the savings would add up. Personally my favorite kind of trucking burns no fuel at all, because I'm getting paid by the hour and sitting still.

    It means you have to set the "high idle" (Max Speed) to 2400RPM, Move the stop plate in the governor forward about 6 flats, and put a bunch of shims under the puff limiter. That is, if you want it to run good

    You know something, I can't get used to any of those gravity feed things with the cup on the top. Every time I use one of them the paint ends up looking kinda like I sprayed it dry. I still like the old school Binks #7 or Sharpe 775. Now if I only had a good one. The Sharpe was about 100 brand new around the same time Mack Red was 30. Girls had big hair then and were way hotter too

    I miss the days when I could buy Mack Standard Red through the Mack parts department for 30 bucks a gallon. I'd buy it by the case. I think it was 4 gallons to the case. It was made by Kirker in Jersey. I wonder how many trucks I'd have to paint without wearing a mask while chain-smoking Camels before I could do the Earl Shibe voice
