spin on oil filter conversion?
Does anyone know of a spin on conversion kit for the 440ic? I have found them for ford tractors and others. Can't find one for the dubuque engine yet.

I adjusted the carb and it did help quite a bit but ran out of time before I could time it. I could get it running smooth but under load it would die quickly. Also when I put the new radiator in it came with an overflow connector which I haven't installed (The overflow res) so radiator fluid started...

What I just noticed is that your distributor is 180 off (pictures you posted earler). You do have the correct distributor cap. I noticed this also but I was hesitant to change it since that's the way it was when I bought it. I have never timed an engine before so I guess I just move it and then mak...

IT RUNS!!!!!!
http://www.flynnhome.com/440ic_running.wmv Guys I don't know what to tell ya. I went through all the tests and everything checked out. Grounding was good, the plugs sparked. The sun was shining on me. :) So I ran it for a short bit. A couple observations. The exhaust manifold got hot quick and smoke...

I found this: http://www.ttalk.info/Tech/pertronix_igniters.htm I should be able to reliably test each component now. this thing is screaming a grounding issue to me at this point. It looks like the baseplate of the pertronix needs a good ground also. i know when I was taking readings yesterday that...

Update On 440ic electrical
Well I finally got back to the crawler project. Yesterday I converted it to a 12volt negative electrical system complete with a pertronix ignition and flame thrower coil. i also fitted it with a 10SI 110amp alternator. As I was trying to start it it seemed to almost fire once but then didn't do it a...

#1 your coil appears to be a 12 volt coil, not a 6 volt coil. Please confirm or tell me I'm wrong. I don't recall ever seeing a 6 volt coil with "external resistor" warnings. I read somewhere that many 12 volt vehicles use 6 volt coils. Hence the external resistor to take it down to 6 volts. I can ...

Not probably part of the problem, but with the distributor rotated like that, you will sometimes have trouble with arcing to the engine block and shorting out the process. The problem will be worse if the block is wet or a piece of debris lands in there. Lavoy Lavoy I guess I never considered it. W...

Is the spring for the points pressed completely onto the terminal? It can work its way up as you tighten the nut and it looks to be sticking up a bit from what I can tell. I know what you mean. This is very difficult to keep down. I think it is a little loose and as it does get tight it tends to wa...

These are the pictures i could get this weekend. We had sleet and hail and snow and wind. I worked on it for a bit but I couldn't get spark cap or no this time so I am starting over again when the weather cooperates. I had some other stuff I had to do first. Hopefully things warm up a bit and I can ...

looking at a 450 diesel
I am trying to decide whether to buy this crawler. What do you guys think it is worth?
It runs well and steers well I've been told.

At this point, if none of the many suggestions work, I would look for a can of "spark" on one of the infomercials. If you watch the whole ad and order "now", they always double or triple the offer. Seriously, I trust that it fires off for you. Nothing like waking one of these old girls up from a na...

Wow you guys have been busy! This all helps out quite a bit. The weather has been very windy here and some rain so haven't got back to it. Lavoy shipped my new cap out so it should get to me soon. Saturday I should be able to revisit this and do some more of the testing you are recommending. I'll ge...
