1981 Acco 1910C

Hi maurice i never paid any where that for them i will bet you the wear will be in the hole in the cab. the hole is bit of pressed metal with a a piece of 10 mm plate welded in to beef up the hole and it wears, that sort of money you could fly up here and pull them out the old acco lol ,I cant remmeber if i put brass bushes and grease nipples in the pedestals when i fitted them or went back to plastic bushes

why would the RH side be so much more expensive?

What a rip off 356 dollars more for a another 3 inches of steel turned to half inch a sleeve 2 inches long id 1/2 inch, od 5/8 for clutch to pivoit on and push on tapered bush very hard to justify, guess at that price old circlip pins might still be available

How would Throttle Body Fuel Injection go on Inter 392...... or would a well tuned Carburettor give just as good performance and fuel economy.

The main advantage (in my mind) would be a lot less maintenance... No; Floats, needles, seats , or Jets to fiddle & play with...

As for Fuel economy...?? well those old girls are just THIRSTY no matter what..!!

My thoughts are the everything Seed has said is correct

And I'll add the fuel injection will always give better fuel economy as it is constantly measuring whats coming out the exhaust and adjusting the tune to given the best engine performance

No amount of tuning a carby will give those results

A Holley type of deal with the dizzy to match would get it a lot better

Still probably not spectacular fuel efficiency but it would be running properly all the time

My truck is a 1981 Acco 1910C with 392 v8.
Apparently two versions of the 392 engine were made ...... the latter I think was considered the better version.
What version would my engine be (early or later) and how could one check????

Thank you.

Maurice.

I have never heard of this before, any more hints or details on this

Hi Maurice, i think the difference you ask about in the 2 versions would be what is known as "standard cooling" and "improved cooling".

On the older standard cooling engines, the 2 water pipes on the front of the engine go between the water pump and the front of each head.

On the later improved cooling engines, the 2 water pipes on the front of the engine go between the water pump and the front of the block, just below each head.

It's easy to tell the difference just by having a look.

If you google "IH 392 improved cooling" you should find a fair bit of information on various forums similar to this one.
