Hi Ya'll, just my 2 cents, about tires and the LT
rating. Unless you are going to be hauling fairly
heavy loads alot in your truck, there isn't a need for
a Light Truck tire. The LT's ride rougher with no
load and passenger car tires ride smoother. Not a
debate here, just another viewpoint.
Hey, I know I'm talking to alot of people out there via this keyboard,
so appologies for me not remembering names. The person who was intent
on wanting to know if the ground exists on the sending unit---I said
mine attaches to one of the 6 screws. You better know this, I didn't

Hello, all, I mentioned on a few accasions about the sometimes pinging
I would be getting when climbing grades, or accelerating too fast. I'm
using the Malory Unilite Electronic distributor---uses an infrared

I agree with Charlie on the LT designation.
The LT tires are not as smooth as a passenger car tires.
Usually more ply rating, which will stiffen tires and not make as
smooth of ride.
Been there.
Usually, our trucks are not used to load capacity when driving empty
or for cruises and shows.
Steve -- I'm running the Mallory Unilite in my truck right now. I bought the
Langdons's mini HEI setup because it uses the vacuum advance and not just the

I don't think it would be real hard to make a throttle body type system work on
a 235. Adapting the system from a 4.3 V-6 should be possible. But the
throttle body systems are not as economical as the more sophisticated systems.
Converting something more sophisticated, like
I agree Nate, if you are going to make adjustments to advance mechanisms you
should have at least an adjustable timing light. We are finding that 24 to 28
degrees total @ 2800 RPM is a good range for both V/8's and Sixes. Remember 14

Wind wings are also called vent windows by some aftermarked
suppliers. You might try the search feature on this web site and
turn up some past discussions. You may want to accumulate a few
catalogs from the likes of LMC, Jim Carten and The Filling Station.
These are a little easier to go
My 1940 ½-ton project has metal frames around the windows in the doors. The
guy that I bought the truck from said that this was not correct, and that
the windows were from an earlier truck from the 30s. Since they are both
cracked and need replaced, I need to know what windows are correct for a
