Today was fun

we found the second injector on both sides were stuck. The drivers side one was easy to free up, the passenger side one required the removal of the rocker bolts to gain access.

 

Then we discovered the truck was actually positive ground. 
 

then the starter solenoid was not behaving

 

We did get the truck to run but there is no fuel coming back from the lift pump.

 

now we need to change the filters and work on priming this thing

I haven't seen the underside of that style valve cover in years. still have the adjusting tools for lifters and injectors. the fun days for sure. to get all injectors to flip the same ; 4 the same not bad to match both  sides :challenging

This project has been on hold for a few months 

we had the wettest winter in Southern California I can remember in decades 

So today we spent the day working on the truck. After new fuel filters and repriming we pulled the air cleaner and we were ready to give it some starting fluid but as soon as it turned over it started and ran at a smooth idle with 35 lbs oil pressure 

so now I need to replace the air shutoff solenoid due to a large air leak. The fuel return hose is also leaking. The one leak that we can’t find the source is there is oil in the rear valley near where the slober tube is bolted on but we can’t see an obvious source 

I have been busy with other projects and working, traveling, and going to shows 

 

this Mack also recieved three new air hoses, and two newer air cans 

yesterday I turned it around in the yard so it could park in the line

it will still take a lot of work before it is on the road but now it can move around the yard under its own power, which was the immediate goal
