Hello

The 2nd CMP at Port High is for sale to help with the restoration of the first one. BTW the Pintle is not on the truck.

Well the work continues once again. The dashboard is being worked on and so is the hatch. The wood frame is done but the students are working on the inner pieces of wood. Now I just nned to figure out how the canvas and/or rubber attaches to the hatch?

The CMP now has tires and a windshield. Though I need to figure out what gasket goes around the windshild frames. The students installed one of the wiper motors but have not tested them yet. Since I worked with students to rebuild them, we need to test them.

The one sad note was that we tried to get the CMP into the Christmas Parade in Port but it kept stalling. It would start up fine and idle but when we gave her gas, she would stall. The students are hoping a one way valve in the gas line will fix that.

Hope you enjoy the pics

Idling / stalling...... why and what is a on way valve for.....

Sounds like you have another simple but tricky problem.

At least you know you have spark or it would not start/run.

Have you installed a vacuum gauge....? if not think of doing so even if only temporary....... reading off the guage will help you out.

You may have a leak in the intake manifold.... gauge will show a low reading.

Are you sure the vacuum advance at the bottom of the dizzy is working...?
To test..... disconnect at the carburator....fit a tight rubber hose on it.... and suck...... with a 3 foot hose you should be able to see the dizzy move slowly....... suck and hold it with your tongue..... if it moves and stays moved your OK.... if it slips back you have a leak or perforated diaphram.....

You are sure the timing is A OK..... TDC or 5 degree before...... and that has to be set with the vacuum advance disconnected and the open line to the carb plugged......

How is it idling.... nice and smooth..... no puffing from the exhaust pipe...
When out of gear...idling.... if you give it gas slowly will it rev up.....if you press the gas fast does it stall......?

Make sure your vacuum line is connected at the base of the carb or directly to the intake manifold. Is the wiper line sealed/plugged at the manifold?? What kind of carb are you using.....pics..?

You have suitable fuel filter before the carb..... have you tried running the truck with a one gallon tank gravity feed above the engine..... careful for fire..?

Shame you missed out on Santa's parade.......

Get back with more info....

Great to see the progress.

Your wiper motor is upside down though.

[Bob Carriere]

Actually looks better upside down as it does not interfere with the driver's vision....

....great for removing snow off the roof........ could the hatch be on the driver's side....hihihi

Actually Ford did eventually work this out... in the last of the mods carried out over the years of Cab 13 production as can be see in this pic of the Camp Borden F60L Machinery - note the intents in the frame to accommodate.

I was informed today that it was when the clutch pedal was pressed that the CMP would stall.
