Engine wanted
Does anyone have a decent condition B30 sitting around as a paperweight? I am trying to source one for a project truck. Just needs to be rebuildable, no accessories etc needed. Just block and head pretty much.

Re: Flamethrower coil for 123ignition
I'm running the stock coil with my 123dist.

Re: Hello! New, buying C303, anything I should know [when I
Vince is right about the rust. All of the C303's I have brought over now have been Alu/zinc. I wouldn't touch one otherwise. A radio body with original body is only worth maybe 5-8k US and that may be pushing it. I have been offered several but they just don't have the appeal to most people like the...

Re: Hello! New, buying C303, anything I should know [when I
30K miles is one thing, but age is another. Many 303's were "rebuilt" in the 90's. More often than not this included a new body that is easily identifiable. You really do want this newer body unless you are going for a true original truck. Also when they rebuilt them they rebuilt or replac...

Re: amp regulator?
Had mine built custom from a Delco core. It's a standard off the shelf casing that can be found all over. My alt shop converted it to 24V. Alt has been working very well so far, I am very happy with the swap. http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c93/dokatd/354A81EE-C8E3-4540-B9EA-16CB7430FA41.jpg http:...

Re: Hello! New, buying C303, anything I should know [when I
Big bonus is the Alu/zinc bodies. I would have likely not been so happy with mine if it were a rust bucket. If the truck you are looking at is not Alu/zinc then I would consider passing unless it is uber cheap. Most everything else is just maintenance and some cash here and there for the odd item th...

Re: Need new 24v alternator - URGENT
My suggestion i of the new alt is one guaranteed fix for both items. Since the owner does not seem like he is ready to properly diagnose the issue and now he is 2900mi away. He could get a new 1wire alt, fly back to the truck and drive it home. Rather than order and instal a new regulator only to fi...

Re: Need new 24v alternator - URGENT
Simple one wire for 24V available at any decent alternator shop. Less than $200 refurb and gets rid of the suspect external regulator. Direct bolt in and only requires connecting the larger power lead http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c93/dokatd/2A83F1C7-7BC0-43AE-946E-640FBF8633EE.jpg http://i25.ph...

Re: Need new 24v alternator - URGENT
If the problem is the alternator then you can take it into most alt/starter shops and have it repaired. Or you can have a 24V one wire built in a day or so like I did so I wouldn't have to deal with it anymore.

Re: Front Axle Questions
Check out Tatanka parts for the SS brake lines. I usually get my own made but theirs are really a decent price.

Re: CV Boot Question
I installed a Tatanka CV boot in my brothers truck several weeks ago. It was good quality and has been working well with several hundred miles on it now. They have Tatanka molded into the boot to identify it.

Re: LED headlights
Depends on how you define knock off. Really it's more likely that truck light is buying these from an Asian source who is also selling them under a generic brand as well. The EBay units may be a bit lighter plastic etc, but I would bet they are molded in the same factory.

Re: Shock absorbers
I do not have the part number, but rancho has great catalogues on their site so that you can quickly and easily find the correct part number based on external dimensions. Most of them use the same calving ratio so that's not really a significant concern. A note though, ever since ranch departed from...

Re: C303 B30 Electronic Distributer
Either option will work well enough. I have a 123 Dist in mine. I certainly would not deep ford mine without prepping the 123 first but I learned my lesson about fording deep water and the service required afterwards to remove water from the drive train so I avoid it. The 123 requires very low amper...
