Nice truck & turbo setup! Waiting for Part 2. I anticipate ya'll will resolve the basic issues (instal high quality Standard Motor procucts distributoe cap & rotor with real brass terminals & the spark plug wires ya'll already have, plus new spark plugs.) The wideband O2 sensor & AFR gauge is a serious tuning tool that I was glad to see ya'll install ! That was why I watched to the end. Hopefully Part 2 will wrap it all up, & deliver,from that great old truck & engine, the boosted performance the owner deserves! Eagerly waiting!
I grew up in a very rural area of Washington state and my grandma had a red 55 International Harvester that grandpa had bought bran new. Well, actually that's not quite true. His friend bought the International while, at the same time, grandpa bought a 55 Chevy pickup. As it turned out, his friend hated the International and grandpa hated the Chevy, so they traded straight across. Interestingly, the Chevy died a short time later and the International was indestructible. Grandpa died in 66 but we still had the International. It seems like I grew up in that truck. We hauled our firewood, hay, equipment, water, and anything else we needed in that old girl. In 1977, when I was 14, my grandma's health was deteriorating. She called me in and told me that I had first choice of anything she had. I told her I wanted the International. I thought my step grandpa was going to have a heart attack as, by that time, the old truck was his work rig. But I got the old girl. Unfortunately, I let my step grandpa talked me into selling the truck to him. After I joined the military, he sold off the truck and I didn't know where it ended up. Such a shame, I loved that truck.
Ahh..so that's why old trucks had tall hoods. The designers knew someone was gonna slap a draw-through carb and turbo on'em, someday:) Might want to change the plugs. It's rare, but I've seen a few plugs leak juice into the block, through a broken ceramic, but sort-of keep working.
