  1. Signal wire goes to the small wire that comes from the distributor (signal from the points) to the coil. Auto Meter, S.W. and Sun all make tachs with about a 7000 or 8000 range. If you just want to see the revs once or twice, why not get a cheap tach/dwell meter from Napa, Harbor Freight(about $40) or other parts store (tune up tool) Do a temp mount and run the truck around to get peace of mind?

    Trump

    Military trial of Obama and Hillary for U.S. Code 904-article 104, U.S. Code 1893, and U.S. Code Chapter 47-articles 1001 through 1035. Prison of choice will be the "Castle" better known as the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. My real opinion of all unions and the minions? Crooks, thugs, primadonas and bunko artists ...Oh and I've been shook down paying 282 dues for 44 years.

    Trump

    Trump gets elected the Unions will kill him dead, just like RFK. Don't forget that the Unions pull all the strings and do run the nation, banks, infrastructure, farms and yes even the police as per teamstergrrl. You're fighting a powerful , rich group with even the military backing the unions...... f them.
  4. Look at the 4x4 steering shock boots. Paul

    Trump

    So in a nut shell you say the USA is beyond saving and dying or dead. Maybe it is time to purge the causes of the problems and build a new Amerika from the ashes.
  6. Trump is worse the clinton / obama?
  7. If you can't locate one, you can try a 4x4 shop for a shock absorber boot for off road by Rancho or a similar company. Paul
  8. Yup, since the shop has to make a new shaft, it's easier and less costly to have them put correct yoke put on the camel back end. You'll be ahead in the long run. Paul
  9. If your truck is still set up a positive ground, some tachs were made to run positive or negative grounds. I have a Stewart Warner generic 4 cycle engine #3347 tach, with a Stewart Warner # 994BT8 electrical sender. The tach can be used with gas or diesel engines. Auto Meter made on for the British Land Rovers and Jags Positive ground a few years ago. The wiring schematic is generic, some cars like my 55 chevy and many older Chrysler products have a ballast resistor to cut voltage down to the coils. Do both coils connect to the distributor cap or do you have a dual ignition like many older Fire trucks as a back up system in case of failure on a call? Can you take a photo of the coils and the distributor(s) so we can see both the primary and secondary wires to the distributor? Paul
  10. Digital or a Sweep Needle tach will work. IMO the sweep tach is better and you can set the limit needle to where you cruise at. One lead to distributor side of coil, one lead to ground, one to switched power in ignition switch and on to dash light circuit. Auto Meter or Stewart Warner can be a close match to stock gauges. Most are switchable to 4,6 or 8 cylinders.
  11. MMMMMMMMMMM Sweep potato pie with brown sugar and pecans baked on top
  12. After January 20 we'll get open borders, free trade agreements and total gun control. . . Hillary promised to use here pen for it all.
  13. Well than she best be prepared for extreme resistance to the last one
  14. Complete? Can you read the block casting # ? I may be interested in it. Paul
  15. And the Fork Union Museum of Junk and Rusty Stuff http://
  16. Thats going to be a sweet truck with that color combination. Paul
  17. How bad? For me I'd want the 413 the rest is a bonus. Paul
  18. Doesn't he have a restored, working Linn plow rig? Paul
  19. Some body took out the EN-401 or EN402 and replaced it with an EN-414 Chrysler 413 industrial V8 pretty much a direct fit. More power way less MPG. Still looks like a fairly a decent unit for the price. Paul
  20. Used to be a red L series (I think L series) cab and chassis by the front of the green building.
  21. I put both on the list since we'll probable be here a month at least. Paul
  22. Geeze, Look like they could be used right now. Clean. Paul
  23. Nah!!! My next move will be the Urn on the closet shelf. I'm the last of my born to family, so when my sister died a few weeks ago, I get the estate to settle and dispose of the things we don't want get rid of her 3 horses and than either keep it and rent the property or sell it off to a developer. It's a 8 year old, 3 bed room 4 car garage house with city water, heat pump and diesel gen set, a new 40 x 60 barn and paddock and a 2 acre fish pond. Probably rent it to a SMU Professor with a small family. Paul
  24. We are Pastafarians. . . The dreaded Spaghetti O's are still after us. . .
  25. Welcome to the group! A lot of members (me included) are Truck model builders. Up to a few months ago we were on the Eastern End of Long Island, a short hop to look over my AC's for info, unfortunately they are all with us in Virginia. Here is a link to some of my AC information, use anything you need and feel free to ask for any info you may want.
