Re: Gas in Crankcase after Fuel Pump Change
Check fuel line from pump to carb moving lines to replace pump line could be close to or against block or radiator hose picking up heat expanding fuel pushing it past needle and seat.

Vacuum choke
I have a 69 D100 225. I had a carter one barrel with issues. My son got me a Holly One barrel with vacuum choke. Runs great but I'm not sure what sets the choke, does it still have to be set manually.

No wonder the bang was so loud
Check the gear on my camshaft out. Bet you never seen anything like it in a 69 sweptline with a 225. The gear on the oil pump is fine, the nylon gear on distributor is damaged,the camshaft gear is destroyed. That's 8,000 miles on a long block the good news is the builder is taking care of it. Sorry ...

Re: Steering wheel replaced
I have very long arms so getting the wheel an extra four inches away really helps. With my arms straighter it is easier to drive, and its only one inch on each side. I don't see any difference in turning and a little quicker steering. For me it's a win win all the way round. I'll keep the original w...

Re: Steering wheel replaced
Forgot in last post I'm running a 1969 D100, the most dependable vehicle I've ever owned since 1982 when my dad trader for this truck. She became mine in 1995.

Re: Jack point locations
If you jack using front axle do not jack in center. Bends axle enough to effect front-end alignment. Cost me $90 to have my axle straightened years ago.

Re: Exhaust Leak Coming Into The Cab
You should see black where exaust is coming out, you should also by able to hear it. When I had the same problem the flange gasket was leaking. Also after you find leak make sure you have no holes in firewall, gear shifter gas pedal.

Re: Leaf Springs questions
I did mine on the truck. Support vehicle and let axel down. I used a torch and caught old bushings on fire. Push center out, the hard part is the metal sleeve out of the eye. It's time consuming.
