800 diesel exhaust manifold.

(quoted from post at 13:06:33 02/12/13) 800 diesel exhaust manifold.

Good catch, although it will fit 700 diesels as well according to the parts book.

Is that a spacer between carb and manifold?

(quoted from post at 13:50:20 02/12/13) Is that a spacer between carb and manifold?

you are correct, but the exhaust manifold was what I was refering to. The spacer is the result of using an LP intake manifold with a Carburator. You need the spacer when using the original oil bath filter and carb connecter, becasue the manifold is shorter than the gasoline manifold..

very nice paint looks great

Thanks

Also put in new sleeves and pistons, seals, valves and guides in the heads, some port work. new clutch and pressure plate, and one of Gary Bakers cam grinds.

Little over 50 PSI increase in compression. So it should do better this year on the track.
If you are in need of parts or help, the following gents are the greatest. In no particular order.

Tom Underwood NOS parts

Roger Hornbaker 300 round nose and guage cluster refurb master.

Don Livingston Used parts that are in better shape than his description would lead you to imagine.

Gary Baker Hot Rod Tractor parts and knowledgable builder of Engines.

John Seali New parts for Case and other brands

All these gentlemen seemed happy to expend time and effort to find / look for parts and or answer questions. Their contact information is readily found here on the board using the search function.

Did you use the dupontB78250 or the ditzer 71282 in flambeu red?

I believe it was the latter. I went to a PPG paint house and told them I wanted to use PPGs OMNI Urathane in Flambeau Red. She put that in the Computer and out popped a paint code. The Desert Sand is the same paint and uses Fords "Chamois" paint code. It's what popped out when Desert Sand was put in the computer.

Ditzler is PPG now
