I can get a big pipe wrench on the hub. But then I can't get a good grip on bolt from the side. I think I might need to remove radiator so I can use a impact from the front. Crap

So I tried putting a rag between the gear to prevent it from turning. But soon realized there was nothing holding it together. Now how to I prevent that gear from turning?

Got my parts, really fast and great service. Twiss car parts .ca I went with aluminum for the gear. Got a fuel valve and filter to fix my current leaky valve. My fuel line looks a little wanky so I'm thinking of changing it too. Is there any reason I shouldn't replace with copper? I ask...

Tried emailing from 2 different emails and got a "delivery deamon" failure.

Did some research so I can see that gear is fiber and it's coming apart, missing chunks actually. So should I go fiber again or aluminium? Can anybody recommend a reputable dealer I can buy from in Canada or that ships to Canada. And can someone please tell me If I can remove that front cover...

Well there's your problem. Hard to see because my picture stuck. Partial broken teeth on first pic. I turned into the wobble on second and can see the hub teeth sticking out the side. I'm off in search of a new timing wheel. BTW that part holding the filter is aluminium.

Ok so I found my dimple, it's exactly at 180 of where I original though it was. I confirmed it by looking through the spark plug. If it wasn't for the wrench I would of never seen it trying by pushing it. The timing gear is definitely at a angle, highest spot is at the dimple and lowest is at...

Bough a steel 5/16 rod this morning a made a new timing pin. Found my dimple its 180 degrees off where I thought it was. My timing wheel is at angle, that has me confused. I have a few things to do this morning so I'll get back to it this afternoon. Should I open it up to take a look at the...

Here's a pic, ya my oil filter attaches there. My gap is good I have already checked, I also gapped my sparks to. 035 yesterday while I was at it. Points are conducting fine, and my testing light goes on and off just like it should at the correct rotor position as points close and open. The...

Mine is different, my oil filter connects there. Mind you I'm typing this from my bed and will confirm tomorrow morning.

Ok I'm back. Sorry life got in the way so I haven't done much on the truck. I did add marvel mistery oil a few times and cranked the starter a few rotations to spread it around. It really helped because when I checked today I had movement in my valves, sticking a bit but alot better. So today I...

Anyone know where I can buy/order a timing Wrench. The nu hex website doesn't ship to Canada. And every Canadian site is out of stock for them. I just found a deep 1 3/8 socket I think will work, I might have to make a handle but I'm getting tired of pushing her around. 1crosscut good idea...

It's 6v and battery is 6v and positive goes straight to the frame. I've include the up skirt pic you guys want so badly. Lol Timing pin is in all the way, it's been grinded into a point and easily falls in place. I just pushed her for a few rotations and that valve is moving but not going...

Are you kindling me, this is a great thread. I'm actually having fun diagnosing this truck while learning alot. When I spoke with the previous owner he mentioned having alot of trouble timing the truck. He said he changed that distributor body with one from a mode t (in French t and b do sound...

Ok I think I understand, I towed it to my place this week to be able to work on it. I have a very long driveway so tomorrow with some patience I will get some help and push her for a few slow rotations and really look at the timing in detail. I've been looking at that valve since I noticed it...
