Ok, let me try to hit everything.
I did do a compression test while I was changing spark plugs. I got 115, 115,120, 120, 120, 120. However, this was before I checked and adjusted valve lash, so it might be off then. There were a couple of valves that didn’t have a whole lot of lash if any at all. (No they weren’t open, I double checked everything before I adjusted any of the rockers.)
I do have a vacuum gauge, which I attached to the vacuum port at the carburetor that goes to the vacuum advance, so I suppose I need to try it on the line coming out of the intake manifold? At the carb I got about 17-18 inches of mercury. I suspect someone around here does have an old engine analyzer, but finding who might be challenging.
I have not gotten any water out of the exhaust.
Motor mounts are in process. The ones on it are deteriorated to the point the metal parts can be separated. In fact, I was working on them today, but I ran out of time before I could get one off. Nothing some penetrating oil and a breaker bar can’t fix.
As far as the bearings go, it’s not really specific on what exactly they did except replace them. I’ll double check the receipt when I get back to the house. Work done at Blanes motor supply in Dallas (we bought the truck from a guy in Frisco and trailered it home)
Soggy, I believe that’s likely what they did, bored out the 6 Babbitt journal bearings and used replaceable shell bearings.) I also believe the PO had those problems when he owned the truck, we haven’t owned it very long. However, I’m not sure if the motor ran before the rebuild. It was non-running when he bought it.
Another quick question since I’m not 100% sure. When I pulled the old coil, it was a 6V model, despite the 12V conversion, so when I replaced it I put a coil from a ‘55 on it as those are 12V. That is correct, right? I did notice it has a resistor mounted to the firewall as well.
Thanks guys!
