The DT466 is both longer and taller than the DT360. As I recall, the FRONT engine mount is in the same place for both, the rear mount is slightly rearward for the 466. This means a shorter driveshaft, revised clutch linkage and other things.

You can't tell the liner condition, just pray. BUT, the DT466A (like shown) is VERY resistant to pitting, it was the later B and C models (and the DT360s) that had issues (thank EPA).

It is alive !!! eelout
obviosly no project without problems.

GREAT!!!!!

2. The distance between fan and radiator about 1 inch. I can take spacer/adapter and make in shoter. Look at the picture above. It is gray part connected to the water pump pulley. Shuold I?

Most fans a MUCH further back from the rad than 1 inch, I'd leave it alone.

3. Starts a bit hard. White smoke very bad on cold. Need to press pedal and hold it. About 30*F rigft now. Some white smoke on hot. Looks like fuel not burning correctly. I guess it is injectors springs needs to be addresed. This is 1977 engine.

Late timing, VERY late.

4. I have no tachometer. I mean tech not moving at all after initial circling. Is the tech feed comes from alternator or from flywheel?

Truck most likely uses an electric signal off the FW housing (check DT360 removed for sensor). I don't think the DT466A can work that way but you can cheaply get a "tach drive" that converts the 466 mechanical drive to an electric signal. The mechanical drive is off the front of the gearcase cover in line with the IP.

You can go off the alternator if it has a tach terminal and the cluster supports it.

Yea that would make me a little nervous as well.

The closer the fan is to the Rad, the BETTER it will cool, so if you want to move the fan back, make sure you get a shroud on it. The blades don't deflect much, they spin a LOT slower than on a car or pickup, so the balancer should not be any problem.

I REALLY like your touch-up work on the engine paint, looks SHARP!

There are cold start adjustments to this pump, I'm not familiar enough with them to be of much help here.

 

[John_G]

Reman injectors should be about $60/ea.

 

[John_G]

That is the exchange price.

Those rotary pumps don't have much in terms of "head room" to begin with. I suspect that a full range adjustment will not net you any truely significant gains.
