Re: Reviving a proper six
Gm is that a video you uploaded? If it's someone else's, they may have uploaded to be linked only (private) and then has now deleted it.
On youtube you can post a few ways. Here is one I did... it is not publicly posted. Only way to see it is from a link... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsVnPdRjCU4 . Last edited by Tinker; 10-20-2021 at 10:58 PM. |

Re: Reviving a proper six
Tomcarman has a good point. the most reliable thing I have ever owned is a model A ford. Sorry, i know this is a v8 hangout, but the A's are a very simple and reliable contraption compared to my computer.

Re: Reviving a proper six
Good point Cas. It's not a v8 hangout. It's a ford "flathead" hangout on the 32-53 forum. Also there is a model a forum here too. Also the later y-block ohv section too. The first ford sold ohv motor was the 215 straight 6 in 1953. Later that motor turned into the 223.
Ford made flathead straight 6s and 4 bangers after 32 also. Not just v8s. It's okay to drawn knowledge from all the sections too. Nothing to fear from anyone about the flat6. V8's will always be king here. . Last edited by Tinker; 10-21-2021 at 02:18 AM. |

Re: Reviving a proper six
Of course I can only see half of my screen... I will check back tomorrow if/when my wife can fix it. Loving the time I have spent with this smooth running six.

Re: Reviving a proper six
Finally got it figured out! Well, the half-screen part. My 40 yr old stepson fixed that. Maybe tomorrow we unlock the private video. No big deal though... It's a flathead six at a slow idle for a minute and eight seconds. There IS a guy on youtube with a turbo-charged 226 flathead ford six engine. Looks like he built a 3 carb intake into the system in the later of 3 parts. Now that is impressive!

Re: Reviving a proper six
Ok, stepson fixed the private thing too. It always worked on my computer, but now it should work on yours too. Last year I stole the air cleaner off the six to use on my cummins conversion in my 47 tonner pu. Now I stole it back because it seems to be an unusual mounting with a side bolt etc. Does the six carb have the same clamping arrangement as an 8ba carb? I need to find an oil bath for my turbo, but I'm sure the V8 version is much easier to find. Thanks

Re: Reviving a proper six
The six cylinder carbs use a smaller diameter clamp diameter than the V8 carbs. I haven't compared Ford carbs and air cleaners to "brand X" stuff, but that may be a good place to look for your turbo air cleaner needs.

Re: Reviving a proper six
Thanks, I have a friend and neighbor who has about 20 brand 'C' trucks on his place. About 1/2 are runners, all are between '47 and '57, so should be plenty of oil baths. He is on vacation right now. He and his wife are driving their bone stock '65 impala ss to the East Coast. It is a bronze color with Wa plates, in case anyone should encounter them.
