Spindle Nut Socket for Dana 44.

Thanks for the feedback

Thanks!

I think it’s called the crankcase vent tube.

I used the power from the old coil. It was a brown and tan wire. I stripped the wire at 23:30 in the video

@@CarolinaMedia thank you for the reply. Has the truck always been a 4.9?

@@coryshepan161 yes. This was a 300 from the factory

@@CarolinaMedia great thanks! Just asking cause mine didn’t have a motor when I bought it and I am putting in a 300. It had a 302 efi.

Fuel filter / fuel line, throttle cable , vacuum lines and heat tube for the choke. if you go with electronic choke , you’ll need to attach the wiring for that.

@@CarolinaMedia how many vacuum lines will it have? One to the Distributor and one to the brake booster. Any other than those?

@@WittFam. Before you start the swap, take pics and maybe label the vacuum lines as you unhook them. There are a few that connect to the vacuum tree under my carb. One that goes to the heat and vent actuator inside the dash. One that goes to the canister from the gas tank. (Canister is passenger side next to the radiator.). One that comes from the PCV.

I don’t remember where I got the torque spec ( 72-108 inch lbs). I probably just googled it. If you don’t have an inch lbs torque wrench, I’d go about 7 pounds with a regular torque wrench.

Hey thanks for the duraspark info. I might try that on the next one. I got the idea for the HEI watching Derrick from Vise Grip Garage do one on an old ford truck. I haven’t had any issues. But I have heard of other people carrying an extra module. The HEI is so cheap, you could keep an extra distributor in the tool box just in case.

@@CarolinaMedia it occurred to me after I posted the reason most people don't just use a D2 dizzy is because of the different resistance...a D2 doesn't use the full 12 volts and needs a resistor in one of the wires to the coil to cut the voltage back to iirc 9 volts. But if you have a thick film integrated or TFI for short it already has everything you need. So people would use a dura spark 2 dizzy and a TFI coil and that's what you took off and end up with actually a better system than HEI because the D2 system module retards the timing a few degrees until the vehicle is started and saves wear on the starter also. I used to get about 50,000 miles from an HEI system module but your dizzy is not on the exhaust side so you might get more life out of yours. Some people also use a D2 dizzy and a heat sink with a 4 pin HEI module on the fender well somewhere to keep it from getting hot at all. This was another way you could run the full 12 volts. I enjoyed your video. I'm glad it works for you.

I got the tank on Amazon: 16 Gallon Side Mounted Gas Fuel... www.amazon.com/dp/B078X1535K?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I used a rear tank filler hose from Amazon. It’s longer than needed. It was easier to cut this one to fit : www.amazon.com/dp/B0914RRQSN?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

The sending unit was hard to find. I ended up buying on eBay from someone in CA. : www.ebay.com/itm/374021315635?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=N5grVFB1QxW&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=MDffqwseQ6a&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

@@CarolinaMedia thanks every hose they have for the side mount tank is like 5 inches too short. I’ve been looking for one that would fit. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the comment. The truck in the video is a 5sp manual. It was a good combo with the 2.3. Great on gas and fun to drive.

Glad it helped. Thanks for the comment.

@@CarolinaMedia Love the birds and nature sounds too. I ve never been to Carolinas, and live in sw Wis by the Miss. Take care.

Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the feedback. Glad it helped.

Sounds like a great truck! Thanks for the comment

@@CarolinaMedia nothing like the straight six 300 and 4 sp with granny transmission my transmission even have a hook for PTO jjj.Real strong rv camper and real simple and real cheap to maintenance .Is a custom and who ever send to make it knew the combo real well by hooking up motor and tranny and probably the gear inside the differential 2 3 and 4 gear she runs better than a new truck but 4 gear is like a over drive really in long hills drop to 3 gear and she pull nice gd on gas and real smooth . Like I said I kp her in gd shape hard hard to find plus I myself never see around another one and people seems they love her special when they find out is a carb 300 and standard transmission original .Anyway you know this engine and transmission with granny gear is the best for everything year around . Kp yours they don't make them anymore ok

@@salrivera7578I agree. I love the combo (300 with the 4 speed manual). This one is really beat up but runs strong.

@@CarolinaMedia kp her alive suspension is cheap and motor part cheaper jjj 😁 remember compared to new truck prices and computers crap our is superior then all them no payments cheap insurance no EMC crap etc.Our is simple mechanical stuff a carb jjj 😁 can be tune with a rusty screw 🪛 jj .when the carb starts acting up with 60 to 80 dollar buy one from eBay and rock and roll jjj down hill up hill .Is that simple straight 6 300 is the poor man tractor and with the 4 granny she becomes the mule jjjjj 😁 real simple I never will sale my custom rv camper hell know jjj CCR born in the byouooooo jjj moonshine and smoke with smile 😁 kp her fix up call it investment every penny is weight in gold nothing like the 300 like I said the poor man tractor as well the mule jjj

@@CarolinaMedia plus another thing I have build old school style with 15 x10 dp dish wheels on 31 x10.5 tires custom flares 16 valves 4x4 272 Delta cam header no back seat no air condition I even took out the steering pump cut the top and put to strap like old renegade style jjjjj 😁 bluetube speakers weight around 1700 is a 1996 Geo tracker look tuff and sound like a ford V8 kp him in gd shape to from engine to suspension no lift neither and he is my daily drives go any place with him gd on gas and cheap to maintenance I call him the Spanial mustang 🐎 jjj 😁.

There is no bolt. Insert the 3/8ths ratchet directly into the tensioner. Release the tension on the belt by pushing the tensioner to the left (counter clockwise).

You may wanna specify this in the video.

Owner wanted new cats and new sensors. He had a diagnostic tool that indicated the cats or the o2 sensors could be bad.

Thanks for the feedback Timmy

Thank you!

Thanks Bob. I’ve read the same about these distributors failing. Good idea getting a spare.

Thanks for the comment. Glad you like the video

Glad it helped you. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the feedback. Glad it helped you out.

Thanks Braydon. Up next: replace the leaking gas tank. I’m waiting for parts to be delivered.

Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks!

Thanks ! My Ranger was originally a Texas truck so there was very little rust.

There was something wrong with my thermostat housing. That’s why I replaced mine. I would recommend doing both while you’re in there.

@@CarolinaMedia okay thank you ! Yea might as well

it took me a while to get the vacuum advance set. I had to drive it around and keep making adjustments with an Allan wrench until I got the pinging under control.

@@CarolinaMedia All of the forums mentioned that they had pinging after removing the computer controlled setup. You were able to work that out without issue?

@@DreamRoadRonny Yes. Make sure to set the timing first without the vacuum hooked up. I ended up driving uphill in a high gear til I heard knocking (pinging). Make small adjustments to vacuum advance until pinging stops. Good luck!

Remove all that and install a HEI and older carb

@@darrinrentruc6614 God help me my mechanic after 3 months got it done, its running, no more stalling, not sure what he did, other than fixing the injector o-ring that drown the engine bay, love driving a bomb. I hope to just take it to the cruise in and put a for sale sign on the damn thing, I'm over it, bought a Honda Odyssey, piss on this.

Thanks

Amazon Link: a.co/d/38Ao8Ct This one is an automatic choke. No line through firewall and no electrical connection!

Thanks for that link

Is the automatic choke the heat tube from the exhaust manifold to the carb?

What connector wires did you use for the HEI?

@@Em6726I used a single wire from the old coil to the “BAT” on the new distributor. The wire was brown and white on this truck. See 23:30 in the video.

Get a 75 or older truck and you don't have to smog it.

Yes. If you have a Dana 44 the bearings will be the same. I like Timken bearings: Set 45 and set 37. The seal part number for Timken is 4250. Amazon sells it for $6 Thanks for the feedback!

Did you solve the leak with 2 o rings ?

@jesushinojosa8192 ya, I did. I used two o rings and used gasket sealer to glue them on the pipe and let that dry before I installed them. It worked perfectly. Thank you

@@johnjacobson8484 thanks for the reply! Will do that ! really appreciate it

Thanks for the feedback my friend
