Is a 69-71 Drag Link the same for earlier models like a 66? Cannot seem to find a reasonable price on a 66 model drag link............thanks.
I think you are looking for MOOG part # DS 653. They should be available for about $150 new. Also, Vintage Power Wagons has them new but $325.

Re: Master Cylinder

Thanks Ozzie. I think I'm going to try to find a NOS one if I can narrow it down to the correct MOPAR part number.

Master Cylinder

1970 W200 W/booster power drum brakes. I want to replace my master cylinder rather than rebuilding it again. It is the original master and has seen better days. I have a parts book but I am having trouble picking the correct part number. One is part #2952130. I initially thought this was the correct...

Re: What do you do with your sweptline today?

Checked the fuel tank sending unit and ended up replacing the brass float. I was getting inaccurate readings and thought maybe the variable resistor was bad but found the float with a crack and filled with gas. Reads correctly now. I dug out an NOS sending unit just in case but wasn't needed. That's...

Re: Washer fluid foot pump

There are several used ones on the auction site. Also pretty sure some of the automobile foot pumps are the same as the trucks.

Driveshaft spline dust boot

Were there ever driveshaft spline dust boots on either D or W series trucks from the factory? Dana Spicer has this: Boot Spicer 211344X and was wondering if this is aftermarket?
Thanks

Re: Valve Clearance 225 slant six motor

.010 intake and .020 exhuast. For a pre 73 motor use .012 Intake and .022 exhaust to avoid burning valves. This is what showed up on a Google search.

Re: 1971 D100 questions

Original owner of the truck bought the FSM at the same time as the truck in 70. Mine doesn't have the addendum. It ends with specifications and "tightening' values. Maybe later editions had the additional sections.

Re: 1971 D100 questions

martincom,
What section in the FSM are you reading the info about tanks? I've looked all through mine and can't find anything about fuel tanks. Plenty of info under the "fuel" section about carburetors but nothing on fuel tanks and/or sending units. :thinking

Re: 1971 D100 questions

Doesn't matter if it reads full when its not. You know its full when you fill it to the top of the fill pipe. Empty is what matters cuz that's what strands you on the road. You had to go make sense of this just when I thought I had another project :lol: I'll take it out and measure the ohms anyway ...

Re: 1971 D100 questions

Terry, I'm almost positive its correct. I know the truck well and knew the original owner. I'm the 2nd owner. The truck is about as factory original as any I have seen. Truck was always garaged since new, serviced by him exclusively and so on. He kept a ledger book of every time he did anything at a...

Re: 1971 D100 questions

Martincom, Your reasoning on the baffles and tank dimensions makes sense to me since 23 gallon tanks were only specified for California trucks. Terry originally mentioned that he thought the sending units for the tanks were the same because the only dimension change was in length. We need to measure...

Re: 1971 D100 questions

Martin, the problem you are having is using ebay as the comparable. I went out to my sheds where I have a basket with a dozen senders in it and a stack of a dozen tanks. The later tanks are 2" taller and several inches longer. The later sender is also 2" taller, with both a longer vertical drop fro...

Sweet. Thanks guys. About how much did you all spend having them straightened? I plan on keeping it, unless fixing it is just outrageous.
Tri City plating in Elizabethton TN {20 miles from you} can straighten it.
