1948 F-7 update
Well, I finally installed the fuel/vacume pump back on my 337 flathead. I had to rebuild the pump due to a split diaphram dumping oil overboard. I fired the old beast up and it was sounding sweet. I was a bit disappointed with the lack of vacume from the pump. The other thing I noticed was a pronounced water leak at the right water pump. Fortunately, I already have a spare set of lincoln pumps. The bad part is that on the 337 flatheads, the waterpumps are also the front engine mounts. I'm going to jack up the engine just enough to get the pumps out one at a time. While it is all apart, I am also going to pull the radiator and replace some missing sheet metal. Maybe I will have it running by spring.

Hi John
This is keith ... I like your truck. I have a 51 F7 with the Lincoln 337 motor. I had the engine rebuilt and will be starting it up hopefully next week. Can you PM me as i have some questions for you as a fellow 337 lincoln owner?
