This is that cool old firetruck that's missing a big pump or tank between the front of the bed and the cab , correct ? . sounds cool to me _if_ you have the...
You need to look in _all_ the vendors as I was looking at one over the weekend that had SS water pumps for $75.00 , I am told OReilley's Auto Parts still sells...
Electric fuel pumps are O.K. , although I vastly prefer mechanical ones the electric fuel pump on my '49's 235 has been working just fine for several years now...
Here's the deal : 216's tend to have thin casting in the water jacket right behind the generator , this is where you say your engine is leaking from . normally...
WELCOME ! _Please_ don't destroy this important bit of history by rodding it ! Time has shown again and again that rods tend to have a very finite lifespan...
