As mentioned before the truck is a 52 but has a 55 block in it. It was a 3/4t unit from Canada called the 1424series. Im wondering if it it possible the 52 bell and flywheel might be different from what the 55 actually needs. I believe the 52 3/4t was a 235. The current flywheel has a ball bearing with a stamp close to it marked (5) and if i keep advancing it lots i can see a triangle outline.
My vin plate on the door jam has the number XC591264 but im having no luck finding any info online with the number to see what the truck originally had in it.
When taking the carbs apart to check for blockage the threads for the jets got damaged. I can possibly chase them and try to reinstall the jets. New carbs will be here anyways in a few days.
