  1. It is a very nice B model hope you keep and show it ,do you belong to SPAAMFAA or a chapter of it? I have a 1954 LS85 open cab Mack but needless to say most all musters & parades in the Jersey /PA area have been cancelled due to the Covid 19 hoping for a better year in 21

  4. WELCOME TO THE GROUP ,all of the previous replies are all pointing you in the right directions ,I have a 54 LS85 open cab , Petronics ignition system installed (make a big difference) also check your air cleaner ,I changed to a Vortex (from AutoZone) of course not an OEM but better, next thing I'm doing is changing oil filter from a sock to spin on (not a OEM but who cares). I have a friend who owns the Landsdale C model Mack.
