How do you check the condensor? The carb is brand new out of the box from Mac's auto. Not sure if it was made in England or not. Weights on distributor were confirmed to be free before before setting up on the Tasco dial. The piston for the vacuum brake is also free. I am not sure if vacuum...

I have another bracket attached to mine that comes off of that long bolt. Does it get attached to the box as well? Does it go to the side of that bolt or up or down?

Could anyone post a picture of how the spare tire mounting post & bracket are mounted to the side of the box. I know I will have to drill holes and don't want to drill them in the wrong spots. Thanks in advance

Thanks guys for the responses. Sweet rides you have as well.

Thanks for the reply. I will stick with my 6.0's
