Any other recommendations would be appreciated. I'm having a pretty hard time with this thing. Thank you

I had the father in-law give me a hand today. We changed the oil, carb back on, went over the valves (couple were out) had another look at the timing, I had the dizzy a couple teeth out and wrong lead on 2 cylinders (I've had them off a few times and mixed them up) adjusted the points Put some...

OK! So there's a few things going on here. new dizzy in now. I've been going over and over the engine and ignition timing thinking something had to be out, so a lot of turning over by hand. Yesterday I lost compression across all 6 cylinders and found cylinder 6 wet, so i checked the carb bowl...

I am surprised how little options there are available for these trucks 🤯 No HO alternators besides mean green! They look great but I'm not about to fork out over $700 AUD. So 90A being biggest upgrade (mentioned above) ill have to run a smaller charger for now. If Anyone has any info of someone...

And much cheaper than buying new stuff 😉

Thanks I wish I could take credit for the whole lot but I can't. There was an old battery box there it had a fair amount of rust in the base. I cut up some carbord templates then using an angle grinder i cut the original battery box. I had some scrap 25mm angle, 25mm RHS and 2mm plate laying...
