[30 Closed Cab PU]

Great Video. Nicely done, and a bit of humor.

A few suggestions.


Am not an expert, have been told these things, research on the Barn and verify for yourself. Hope others will correct any misunderstanding I may have.


Adding oil to the distributor cup- It is supposed to be filled as much as it will take, not just adding a couple of drops. Purpose is to get oil to work its way up to the Distributor Shaft Upper Bearing. I believe this method is outlined in the Owners Guide/manual. You can also perform a modification or install parts to modify the cam screw and distributor shaft. A hole is drilled down through the center of the dist. cam screw, and the shaft drilled to provide a passage to the upper bearing. Add a little oil to the hole in the cam screw and it lubes the distributor upper bearing. The Mod is not really needed if you fill the cup completely.


You mention needing to know which pump you have, but light on the details as to why. If you have a pump requiring greasing on the coolant side, if the coolant side is over greased and is not a sealed version, grease can get into the coolant, then balls up and clogs the radiator. Most Barners know this, but someone new to As may not know. Only a partial pump of the grease gun is needed.


Do not over do the throw-out bearing - grease may migrate into the clutch surfaces.

Hope this is useful to you.
