Fart Pipe posted:I definitely plan on using it for work. Just light duty pulling the trailer for mowing. I won't be hauling dirt and mulch with it since I can just use the 86 for that. I worry about using up the brake drums because they are NLA so until I can find some I'm stuck with what I have. What is the drivetrain like? Two speed rear end?

Fart Pipe posted:Nope just a single with 6.16 gears. 4 forward gears but I don't know if first is a granny gear or not yet. Its a crash box too so I'm going to have to brush up on my double clutching. Wow. At 55mph that's like completely wrapped out eh? Assuming a 30" tire around 3600 RPM.

Looks great! Will you be doing any modernizing of it?

Is there something wrong with the camshaft or valve train causing excessive vacuum or compression?

Seat Safety Switch posted:edit: Looks like '70s IHs came from the factory with either a Delco or Holley vacuum advance dizzy, but I don't know too much about them. That part is right.

Fart Pipe posted:Mine is a Delco and it does have vacuum advance. Its a different setup than I was familiar with and I just figured out how to work it. The reason it was starting so hard originally was that the advance was sticking because I didnt know it was supposed to move on the outside of the dizzy. Once I figured that out I was able to get it to start and still have the timing advanced enough so that it wasnt a total dog for making power. What happens is that the vacuum advance increases the timing as soon as the engine starts and begins making vacuum. Then it moves around like a normal setup when I drive. Do you need to disconnect the vacuum advance to set the timing?

Fart Pipe posted:Thats the weird part on this one is that I dont think you are supposed to. It has 2 timing adjustments, one for the distributor and one for the vacuum advance. Thats the part that I figured out afterwards and got it to start easily and have enough power. The vacuum line is metal also and would be a pain to undo each time I played with the timing. That's why I phrased my question that way. Sounds very strange indeed, any photos of the distributor? Curiosity only, I don't know anything about that setup.

My transmission also takes 90wt mineral oil (GL-1), and the previous owner for like a year had filled it with GL-4, which took some life off of my synchros. Obviously you don't have synchros in that transmission but was your used oil ever glimmering with gold flakes after a change? I certainly remember it shifting nicer afterwords too. Use the fluids recommended! I ended up buying 5 gallons of it for $60 since that's so much more economical.

Nice work! Was that FPR about $150? Debating that or replacing the pump on my truck. My pump is not very good to begin with so I’ll probably replace it.

Is there a folksy phrase for that? Sunshowers are the devil beating his wife, this feels a step above that.
