Re: My 68 anniversary arrived today
Nice find and a great looking truck. Thats a common spot for the trucks to rust as evidenced by mine.

Re: My 68 anniversary arrived today
Just Did another compression test . 160 to a low one of 150 . So well within the 15% variation . Plugs are gas fouled so in assuming either the po tried to start it on the gas in the tank or the carb is bas . I'm going to rebuild the carb and tune it up

Re: My 68 anniversary arrived today
I'll put them in storage I never get rid of original stuff of a vehicle . Caps are pretty banged up .
Yup York compressor so at least I know if it's bad on the 68 I have one and an extra one for the Hawk . The electric clutch next to it is an early studebaker model 1962 or so . I also have a V style for my lark with a new under dash hang on unit .

Re: My 68 anniversary arrived today
Took the carb off to get it rebuilt checked the numbers it's for a 68 for the 327 /350 part number 7028213 but from what I've researched it's for 4 speed applications

Re: My 68 anniversary arrived today
I will provide interesting information regarding this number if I'm back at home.

Re: My 68 anniversary arrived today
The last digit supposedly designates if the trans is a stick or auto, even number indicates auto, odd number indicates stick. BUT, I've read in more than once, that this rule does not always apply...

Re: My 68 anniversary arrived today
From a carburator specialist: (Anyway 7028213 und 12 are nearly the same.
The numbering rules for Rochester carburetors have a lot of exceptions. One common one is for trucks, where an odd number is often used for both standard and automatic. This is the case in 1968 where the number 7028213 is used for a 327 in a truck, regardless of transmission. However, in passenger cars in 1968, 7028213 was used for 327 standard transmissions and 7028212 was for automatics. It would be incorrect to have a 7028212 on an automatic equipped 327 truck since the Rochester manual from the period lists only 7028213 for trucks. See also my protect-o. plate C=CARTER and build sheet -8213 (327 mit TH400)
