    What are the odds?

    I was out riding the motorcycle today..here and there, no real destination, got some work done at the shop, a relaxing, no agenda day...heading back to the shop I come to an intersection...do I turn right, about a quater mile to the shop, or go straight ahead to the tractor show, a quarter mile ahead? The tractor show is also the Shortway Chapter of ATCA's annual show...wasnt planning on going this year, but what the hey, might go check it out...As I round the corner, a light blue ex-Martins MH single with a short trailer pulls out! Hey, that's Ken!!!! I pulled along side and waved, and signaled to meet at the truck stop down the road 'cause I figured he was going to get on I-80 to go home! Had a mini reunion at the truck stop...timing is everything!

    My B has a transplanted motor from a later truck and the primary and secondary fuel filters are both on the drivers side,. Is this correct? I ask because the line comes from the tank, thru the primary filter, across the top of the motor to the pump on the injector, then back across the top of the engine to the secondary, then back across the top into the fuel injector...looks like a lot of wasted line and potential blockage area (from the old hose). Just wondering where the stock filters would be.

    I will be changing the filters because of a loss of power/max rpm problem I have occasionally...dont think it is the filter because though they have been in there 3 or 4 years, they dont have that much fuel thru them.

    Thanks

    Thanks Leslie. That helps a ton. Now I know what is missing.

    Is yours a drivers side starter? This one came with passenger side bell housing.

    I didn't know yours was a 300 or is it a 237? How's it drive with your transmission? Quad or triplex?

    Starter is on the drivers side...I run a triplex...never pulled anything with it but it is fun...It came out of a 1970 U model...I have factory paper work on the engine...didnt know really the difference between a 237, 673, 675, etc...with that big V-8 radiator I have, never even gets warm bob-tailing
