28QC429 is the whole assembly for a 1984 R686ST. I need the lower yoke for the steering box and the other half of that joint: The u-joint is still available: 2104-5103X.

That was my exhaust when I started the 237 10 yrs ago. 😆

The white one? I've seen stories of it.

Once I primed it, it starts instantly. It took a few tries and pumping primer to get it to that point.

A friend usually handles the trucks for ATHS at Mats. I haven't spoken to him about any of it. I know it has been a sticky situation lately with what Mats wants for trucks. -
Which post? I know Trent was looking for return check valve.

I have time, so thought I would put some run time on it to make sure everything is okay before putting it in the truck. I'm a drag racer so I know about no break in time. Start it, has oil pressure, run it HARD!

Still a long road to hoe.....

I couldn't take it....I had to light it off tonight. Primed it up with fuel and it took right off. Now to get radiator hooked up so it can run with water.

Ya, best guess. I put plenty in it during assembly. The injectors are dry so no chance of it lighting off yet. Should be ready this weekend.

Ok, for you all that aren't on FB, I downloaded it to my YouTube channel. https://youtu.be/GYsx_LYyLvg?si=0g62DRMPVQSb4vIh

Well, I posted a video on FB last night of it building oil pressure. I am getting closer to making noise. Need to paint second valve cover and get them bolted down. Intake tube from turbo needs painted. Make up fuel line and get some diesel out of the truck. I want to get my other radiator out of the basement again and hooked up so I can run it for a longer time like last summer.

I was at Buddy's house that is helping with my motor. He has 5 new rods for an E7. They are huge compared to an E6. I asked him what was different between motors. They are basically the same overall, but the front mount area is upgraded. He is contemplating building an E7 for his pulling truck and not tell anyone that it isn't a 237. 😆
