Is your tank mounted under the frame or over the pump area ? also you may have to prime the fuel pump(fill it with gas) , the worst thing it could be is if it works off a pushrod or cam shaft on the engine, in that case you may want to look into an electric fuel pump.

what is the open cab rule???
-
Is the R model pumper going to be for sale? post pictures please
-
anyone have any details on the mack event at the museum the end of this month
-
just for my future possible need ,where did you get a rebuilt fuel pump?
-
their are several types of teflon tape ,you need the gas &oil resistant type..... buy at an auto parts store ,not the big box store
-
hi louie ,the electronic came from petronics part #1166p12 they are a little pricey about $230.for a set of 2 detailed instructions, easy to install and truck runs great.
-
before you buy the new points sets,look into putting in an electronic modeul instead of points ,it fits right inside the distr. I got mine from petronics , you have to get it compatable for use with a positive ground system.
-
hi louie, most likely the fuel gauge does not function properly, took me a little bit to get the shifting down,double clutching, you just have to keep the RPM's low, start out in 2nd gear too. I did get filters from john chambers before., most important ....how are the brakes? had my truck a few weeks and during it's first parade one of the brake lines rusted thru and blow out.
-
lou, the mack is back .... just finishing the oak slats for the pre connects in the hose bed ,and some odds and ends , on this trucks their is always something to do or redo ,thats the fun of it.........
-
hi lou: try john chalmbers for parts 717-334-8709 (let the phone ring 10 times) , also for gaskets www.olsonsgaskets.com the diamond plate mix rustoleum smoke gray, gloss white , aluminum ,mix about equal parts( may have to adjust to your exact liking), also you can clear coat .
-
check out talleyville fire co. website -looks like they still have it.... cool
-
I saw the tallyvile L mack last year at the cradle of liberty fire muster in pa. didn't see it this year we moved it to n.j. and I thought that the fire co.still owned it.
-
I saw a L with a completely different fender it was from talleyville del. and it had an american fire body on it , I though it might have been a commerical L that the dept bought and had a body put on it. I'll check my notes on the correct mix for the silver make -up.
-
trust me ,if you seen what the mix looks like when finished you'll like it , also it doesn't splatter like plain silver , just my liking.
-
hi louie ,your mack looks great, now the clean up begins, looks like in great condition, If you need to paint the diamond plate on the running boards a lot of guys use a mix of Rustuleum white,gray, silver for a nice finish (plain silver will rub off). AL

you got a great deal on that mack, that wooden folding ladder worth at least $500., my L HAS has the compartment under both doors that has a 21/2 intake (not many like it) in the day they had a short section of hose and 1 ff could hook to a hydrant by himself very fast., looks like it just needs a waxing, good luck with it
