Oil Filter


I bought a new oil filter for the truck 2 years ago, but with it not running consistently I haven't changed it out.  Now that the throw out bearing was replaced I thought I would get it ready for the Car Shows and Parades.
So after some research to see if the filter needing changing - which it did, I figured it should be easy as there was only 1 screw to loosen then one connection on each end.  



Old Filter - at the bottom of this end is the test cock - No Oil coming out at all.















New Filter

 

This fitting gave me some trouble but eventually I got it to stop leaking.

Horn Works - Klaxon - 8C 6volts

Thanks to my brother-in-law Eugene and my Nephew Dave (good name) we got a lot of the electrical working on Sunday - 24 June.  I was in the house when I heard the distinct noise that brought me back to my submarine days - Dive - Dive - Dive - alright maybe not exactly the same - but still a good and distinct noise that got some neighbors out of the house to come over and inspect what was going on.    So - the horn has been working on and off - seems it works for like 3-4 blasts and then it stops.  So I took it apart and checked it out, cleaned what I could and put it all together. I didn't put it back in the truck because it is like 100 degrees outside today. Here are some of the pieces I was working on in the house with A/C. Information off the horn: Klaxon - 8C 6 volts Delco - Remy Corp. Anderson, IND. USA Holding the horn together - 6 bolts - 3/8 in. open end 2 bolts horn bracket to frame - 1/2 in.

No not the Band from the 70's. I think it stands for Keep it Simple - not sure what the last S is. Thanks Bob for becoming a follower. So yesterday, 17 April, I wanted to make sure the truck was going to continue to start on a regular basis - after all it should right - It has a rebuilt generator/regulator, starter and new starter button, battery cables, fresh gas and condenser.   Yeah - not so simple - it continued to backfire and not want to start.  I know if Jeffery was here he would say - its not getting gas, is there gas in the tank Dave? Keep it Simple Dave - yes there is gas in the tank - Jeffery, (why is Jeffery in my head and I am answering him?) Guess its time to call Eugene. He suggested I check the Vacuum Fuel Feed System Filter to make sure it wasn't clogged. Good call Eugene. Thanks for helping me Keep it Simple.... Put that all back together, but still not wanting to start. So I drained the gas from the tank, disconnec

June - STEWART WARNER VACUUM FUEL FEED SYSTEM

Finally got to do some work on the pick-up truck - nothing major - just some of the easy stuff that I knew I can handle.  Jeffery helped me with some of the electric things - found out the starter button was not working and we had to take the floor boards off to get to the starter and take that off.  Ordering parts - oil filter, Lucas Classic Motor Oil, gaskets for the fuel vacuum pump, carburetor rebuild kit, fuel filter,  air filter, starter button, battery, spark plugs and wires, ignition coil and distributor cap. In addition to researching how to fix/replace these parts - I have slowly began cleaning up the pieces as I go - repainting some parts and shining others.  My goal is to try and start it at the end of this month when my brother-in-law is in town. Here are some before and after pictures of the  vacuum fuel feed system - I did not take it apart - the gasket looked pretty good still - (have 2 on back up just in case).  I can hear the insides moving - so I am hoping tha
