In this video: Carter B&B carburetor overhaul; how to repair a warped carburetor top plate (for some applications); how to properly connect the vacuum advance line on your Dodge or Chrysler flathead engine; an example of the difference between a pipe fitting and an inverted flare fitting, and the importance of understanding the two; a discussion of Dodge truck model designations 1939-1947 (TC, VC, WC, WD, etc.); and much more.
This 1942 Dodge WD21 is back for one more episode I wasn’t even planning to make. But a horribly leaky carb seemed like a problem worth diving into, so here we are. Hopefully I can get this old Carter carburetor to keep all (or most) of its fuel supply on the inside instead of pouring everywhere as it does now. And if that works out, we just might have time for a test run – and a history lesson. @rocketresto

I have a 12mile round trip to work…i totaly would daily drive that ol girl sometimes during the warmer months here in Michigan…Shes a Beauty!
Really dig this old truck and the cool content it has given us! Flatheads are just cool.
Napa never any parts available
Slow down you young whippersnapper, 48 miles an hour are you crazy !!!
Love those era trucks! Thank you Jamie!
I have a power wagon 1946. it's a wax. It was rated as a 3/4 ton by the military. one ton by civilian. if you subtract empty wight from gross vehicle weight. 9700lb – 4800lb =4900lbs. that's almost 2.5 tons. and ive had more than that in it. That's why these trucks are not smooth riding trucks.
Living in a place that rains constantly must be a challenge. Speaking from the "sunshine" state.
Don’t shift it like a race car.
Well its better then nothing great Job buddy u got any stickers for sale for the toolbox
That is one beautiful machine, maybe it need wipers on the inside also though…
That truck is fucking cool!
I don't know why seeing original steel fuel line cut, with rubber line worm clamped on the stub is so disappointing to me. First world problem, huh? More coffee. Onward & upward! Thanks for sharing with us Jaime.
Would you please not place the camera so close to the grinder, I was not wearing eye protection 😉
Yes, the older iron sure is neat looking and love the Art Deco Styling- but the average person was lots smaller then, too.
Nice truck, cool to see it roadworthy again.
