farm truck rustoration

[52PLOWERWAGON]

that's what ive read

I don't like the look of that

[Yooper52]

Just go with OD green Trav it'll match the rest of the truck.

[52PLOWERWAGON]

I am putting a racing cam in my engine so I was thinking hemi orange

but I will probably go with OD green

[Yooper52]

Almost any color would be better than silver. at least in my opinion.

[52PLOWERWAGON]

you have to remember that silver is historically correct

but if I wanted a correct truck I would be about 10 to 15 K in debt already

[52PLOWERWAGON]

my uncles boss installed my cam bearings
and my uncle steam cleaned my block
and there was chunks of cast in my water jacket
but they look like they are not part of the block we are thinking they are from the sand mold

[52PLOWERWAGON]

fished out cast chunks out of water jacket
valve guides in and I saved my old intakes

[52PLOWERWAGON]

I got my valve seats ground

tried to install my new cam and the hub on the cam is 1 1/8
my old one is 1 1/16 so the keyed triangular piece that the cam gear bolts to doesn't fit
I'm at a stand still right now
but I'm going to pull the front cover off my extra engine and see if I might have one
other wise I'm going order one on Monday
if vpw doesn't have one ill have to have to have mine machined out

[52PLOWERWAGON]

no progress today

but we got some wood to keep the garage warm

[52PLOWERWAGON]

going to order my part today

[52PLOWERWAGON]

vpw says they have never seen a 1 1/16 cam hub

and last part is ordered

[T. Highway]

Travis,

So why do you have a 1 1/16" diameter cam hub? What is the remedy?

Bert

Travis,

So why do you have a 1 1/16" diameter cam hub? What is the remedy?

Bert

because my grandpa measured wrong

my part to resolve the problem came today

more progress tomorrow

[52PLOWERWAGON]

cam is in
6 valves are in
freeze plugs in
re-insulated the wiring

I need a wiring diagram so I can figure out what is what

what is the best way to prime an oilpump

[Yooper52]

Is it a gear type pump driven by the distributor? If it is open up the pump and put some assemble grease in there where the gears are. That way it'll have some suction and draw in the oil.
