    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?
  7. 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
  17. Joseph Cummings
    Holy Chit. Just for paint? He's out of his mind. I can sand a truck with a DA, mask everything, and spray it any tractor paint color and have it cost me maybe 300 bucks. I should start something like Earl Shibe. I'll paint any truck for $1299,95

    Low gears in the rear, and a double overdrive, and you don't abuse your frame crossmembers like this guy

    I'm not sure. Charlie is gone, he'd be about 110 if he was alive. They were in my uncle's garage but he is gone too and he'd be about 103 if he was still alive. Charlie had a son that was my brother's age, so he's be almost 60 now but I haven't seen him in over 30 years, last I heard he had become a preacher and was living in the Carolinas somewhere. There were some pictures of John (the surviving Battery Brother) with the red 2 cylinder at Macungie online a few years back but I don't remember where, and I haven't heard from him for a couple of years either. He's about the same age as my mom, so he's close to 90 I guess

    Yeah different country, different cultural norms Not to be confused with Staten Island, Staten Island girls have similar hair but have T-Rex arms. It's because of Fresh Kills

    I thought I was the only one that remembered that lol

    Nice car. My friend Charlie White had one like it only it was green. I really liked that car. The Whites had a farm near me in Bensalem, and they never got rid of anything, They kept a lot of it in beautiful condition. If you have been going to Macungie for a while there used to be a red 1913? IH 2 cylinder high wheeler there almost every year. That was his. He also had a green 1911 Autocar 4 cylinder flatbed. I'm thinking it was maybe like 6 ton capacity. Charlie still used that in the early 60's to haul chickens down to Camden NJ. I asked him how the trip was. He said "Millie had to make dinner late those nights"

    damn that's a lot of damage

    Should be one big one and one smaller one. And there was one that attached to the back of one of the countershafts. I never used any of them but the smaller one myself. Biggest thing I powered was a Commercial Shearing C102 pump. A few mixers but they were off the front of the crank.
