I need to check this thread more often, some very cool stuff going on here Paul

If this is governed at 1700 it sounds like a Econodyne This is helpful information Paul

And also be realistic with your expectations, the E6 is only a small motor but does have a big heart All of that been said, you won't ever mix it with the big boys in modern equipment Paul

How do you know it's a 300 E6 and not a 350 E6 ? Does it have a boost gauge ? If it does have a boost gauge, what does it read when pulling hard ? Whats the diff ratios ? The E6 has to be reving right at the speeds you want to travel to get the power you want Is this a Thermodyne, Maxidyne or Econodyne E6 ? All of this information is important before changing things It's easy to spend money and not get the result your chasing if you don't know your starting point Nail down the points you can 100% say are 100% correct and accurate and then and only start making plans Paul

Vlad most of these plunger pumps peak when they are unlocked Bob there's a lotta little hoses etc to leak from Also the return to the tank in the tank will have a pipe that returns the fuel to the bottom of the tank, these can get a crack in them or fall off completely with vibration and age Paul

Okay, I take it is a huge show but like a lot of things these days, they are all full up and selective Paul

Does this they only want certain trucks or styles of trucks ?? Paul

I wonder if it's not leaking out side, is it leaking into the motor? Through the compressor or timing gear ? Paul

Need to get the chief cook and bottle washer to have a look at your exhaust if you can't see it when starting So it sounds like your loosing fuel completely If it was mine I would pressurize the tank a bit, wind the pressure down on the shop air and have a really good look for leaks It maybe leaking were you can't see it If you block the tank vent off and pressurise it a bit, it should i theory hold air pressure Have a fiddle and report back I'm busy playing with a different type of horse power at the moment Paul

Trying pumping the primer a few times or until it starts to bypass, before starting and you can then see if it is actually loosing prime or not So back to the basics here, you've only been working on the truck for a few weeks so refresh my brain encase I have lost something over those weeks Things to check When you go to start the truck, does smoke come out the exhaust immediately ? If it has smoke, you still have fuel If the smoke is not there, you have lost fuel in the pump If it fires and then farts and blows white smoke, you've lost prime Paul

So there's a few truths we all agree on In Iran in 1979 university protesters took over the embassy According to the video of news reports from 1979, the student rioters did the taking control of the embassy stunt after hearing a speech from the Ayatollah I gather that some time before this the Ayatollah asked or perhaps demanded the U.S. leave and the U.S. stayed and most likely was hoping to maintain some sort of diplomatic relations with Iran I'm guessing that the U.S. was hoping to sort the mess out and return the Shah to running Iran This certainly isn't how it ended up I don't think what happened in 1979 was a act of war based on the burning of the flag, there's been plenty of U.S. flags burnt on Americas home soil in my life time by over excited protesters and rioters that has made it on the news back to Australia It certainly is a sad and sorry mess over there with no good answers The Shah may of been corrupt but Iranian people as a whole had a very good standard of living Paul

I thought Jay Leno and his car/truck collection was based in California, I wonder were he is based as I would think most of his gear would never pass emissions Paul

I don't think this is exactly correct, the country the embassy and the embassy still belong to the host country As long as things remain amicable between the host and guest things are fine It's when things don't remain amicable is when it all gets a bit difficult When cultures collide as it often does, different standards and expectations are challenged If the host wants the guest to leave and they don't, things get even worse When the guest is forcibly removed, it's really going pare shaped To be very clear, I am not defending any country here or blaming any country Things could of possibly should of been done a lot different in 1979 But we can't change the past And I feel the Middle East has been a mess by Western World standards since the beginning of time Paul

A dream machine there, but a heck of a price as well I reckon these are the best looking Macks ever made Paul
