Re: FAT Fabrications Eastern Service Tour 2024

If your Pinz needs anything, I encourage you to get on Andre's route schedule. Been meaning to change those axle boots? He probably has spares with him, and it'll just be done when he does it. Recently bought your truck and have no idea when the fluids were last changed? Just ask him and it's done. ...

Re: Central tube full of gear oil?

Did you check to see that the connected gearboxes are full-up with their oil?

Re: 710K Interior Light Relay wanted

Can you share some pictures of it?

Do you need the replacement to be exact to the original, with the goal of keeping the truck pristine, or can you accept a workable replacement?

Re: Lean mixture

How you can easily check for vacuum leaks ? A common way to look for vacuum leaks is to spray brake cleaner on the carbs and around their bases. You'll hear a change in RPM if the engine draws in those fumes. The brake cleaner dries without residue, BTW. Check the vacuum hose that goes to the brake...

Which states are Pinz 710 friendly/unfriendly?

Which states have people had success registering a 710 Pinz in, and which state have people had problems?

For example, in CA 1975 and older is fine, newer is not allowed.

Others?

Specifically, I'm curious about states in the Pacific Northwest, upper Midwest, and the northeast states like NH.

Re: Engine stumbling backfiring ...

Check the gap between the Pertronix pick-up sensor and the black-plastic-encased magnet on the distributor shaft -- it should be quite close, but not touching. Check your timing. You'll need a standard timing light for this. Since you have civilian wires, it's super easy to use an inductive pick-up ...

Re: Strange thing going on

Watch for rub points on the hose -- I added a p-clamp in one spot, and a metal sheath where it penetrates the body sheet metal.

Re: Strange thing going on

I would start your debugging by disconnecting the vacuum hose that goes from the engine to the power brake booster. Close it off at the engine.

You may have booster diaphragm leak.

Re: Vapor Lock

Were you running straight gasoline or ethanol blend? I ask because I have two vehicles (one carb and one FI) that do notably worse with heat soak on ethanol blends vs. non-blends. Is it possible the engine was actually flooded,and not lean? I could imagine flooded from the fuel in the bowls expandin...
