Got it. And, that would explain the white outline tires, which aren't available on the Platinum.

I assume this is one of the sturdy IHC in-lines? Like maybe an SD240?

I would be careful with only an 8.8". Early Econolines with the 240 and 300 had 9" rear ends under them. The IHC 6s are incredibly tough.

Nice find on the International.
While my dash was apart, I somehow managed to lose the hardware that holds the headlight and wiper switches to the dash. (sigh...) |

The 8.8 conversion would be nice especially with the disc brakes on the rear. However, the 8.8 has a weak LS carrier. The open carriers are built like a tank though. The 9" would be better especially if you want LS, but to go disc would add another $500 to the build.

Got my electric fuel pump installed and now the engine runs strong. I think the carb is still screwed but now I can at least drive it out and back into the driveway.
Still no brakes other then the driveshaft park brake so I can't take it round the block yet. |
Sounds pretty neat to play with. Has that got a Holley or Carter on it, or something really arcane, like a Zenith, Stromberg or Tillotson?
|
It's got a Holley 1904. Much like what ford used in the day on their own I6. Single barrel, and quite possibly the simplest carb I'll ever have to work with. But it's definitely wore out, the new fuel pump is showing weak areas in the carb body now.
|
That was definitely a pretty common carb in it's day. I had a 58 F-100 with a 223 and the Holley Visiflow with a glass float bowl.

The AC job on the Dodge is still lingering. Now it appears there is either a bad shrater valve on the accumulator drier or possible a bad weld. I lost most of my refrigerant AGAIN:-arrgh while the truck sat. I had to waste another can just to see where it was leaking. The sniffer went berserk when I put it on that service port. I tightened it up hoping that would solve it, but didn't. Then I screwed the port cap on extremely tight to see if that would help, but didn't.
I think I am going to change the whole thing out just know I got it instead of changing the valve only to find out it was a weld joint. I have just enough 134A to fill the system to full charge left over from a CASE.:-arrgh |
There goes the ozone layer! Bruno's back. No wonder we have such severe weather! }>

Lol, Gary! That is exactly what I was thinking. I am starting to feel bad about my quest for cold air.:-X19
