While lookin for a GMC 6 for my '53 I found a guy who was parting out a '57 2 ton with an unknown straight 6. Turned out it was a 302. Took it home
! This is a civilian block as it has a 'traditional' starter, mechanical fuel pump, and dipstick through the block. It does, however, have the sealed 24 volt distributor (with garden hose sized plug wires).
Question time,
(1) I understand I can replace the distributor with one from most any Chevy or GMC six of that era, correct?
(2) The starter is 24 volt. When I go to a 12 volt starter do I have to change the flywheel as well?
(3) I believe the carb is a Stromberg WW(?) and is governored. (a)Can I bypass or remove the governor? (b)Is this is the best carb for the engine when used in a 1/2 ton for daily driving?
I will provide as much info as possible and any pictures needed. Thanks in advance guys.
