Re: Chrysler Engine ID Verification

Yup, so long as the engines match the tags. Have a look at the side of the block below the heads, there should be a casting number , middle set should say the engine size.

Re: 1976 Trojan F-32 sedan - Battery Wiring Question

Thanks everyone for the comments. I just need to figure out exactly what I need to keep the fridge running for 4-5 hours or again running for 8-10 hours would be the most I would ever need. I just don't want to tax my starter batteries and not be able to start the engines. But there will be times t...

Re: 1976 Trojan F-32 sedan - Battery Wiring Question

So I see your new post, that changes things.You calculate your planned amp hour usage then size your battery bank and charger accordingly.Here is an example. If you have a 400 A/hr bank and you pull it down by 50% ( max ) then you will have to put 200A/hrs to put back....so with a 50amp charger with...

Re: 1976 Trojan F-32 sedan - Battery Wiring Question

I agree with rewiring. I just wish there was some kind of diagram for a twin engine, three battery set up. Trojan didn't do that from the factory as far as I can tell. But correct me if I'm wrong and point me in the right direction for a diagram. I have four or five Electrical Diagrams in my origin...

Re: 1976 Trojan F-32 sedan - Battery Wiring Question

Do you have two 12v battery switches on the panel ? What you should do to help yourself would be to use the right coloured cables for everything, that way visually it is easy the follow and avoids mistakes. Grounds are always black, red is positive. You need protective caps on the positives to stop ...

Re: Loud ticking/knock from starboard engine

Rocker adjustment is probably out because of collapsed lifters ( no oil ).You will see when intake comes off. I have destroyed cams before but not because of oil pressure issues, it was always fixable with a replacement of parts and some cleaning inside with a magnet, I fear this maybe worse. Good l...

Re: Loud ticking/knock from starboard engine

Is that the engine with the rod bearing gone ? Cant hear anything on the link, and hard to see from the pic , but looks like there is not much if any oil getting up to the rockers etc. Got the link to work, look into the oil thing. Mike Yes,we noticed that as well,didn't understand that either. Tak...

Re: Plastic Fuel Tanks installed in a 1977 F-32 model 321

Its the fuel that makes the tank swell ( expand ) FYI, it does pretty much what the instructions say.I left a space around the bottom shelf it sits on and , a few small adjustments, the hard part was getting at the hold down fasteners as we had the waste tank, air conditioner etc all in the middle.

Re: Plastic Fuel Tanks installed in a 1977 F-32 model 321

Your tanks may be different , but on mine the hose pulled sideways on the plastic tank inlet fitting, so ran the hose thru the bulk head to get the drop right, with the appropriate chafe guarding of course, the only joint you really want is at the deck fitting and at the tank itself. After you run t...
