That one was a good one. Well got the plugs changed and changed my mind about plugging the temp switches or the air ports. I'm not a small guy and when I was putting enough on each one that I got scared I was going to break them I called it quits. They are plugged and the next motor is the 345 out of my other Scout so this goes on the unless I have to pull the manifolds list then I'm going to leave them alone. Oh well I got some shiny new brass plugs.
 
I pulled the air and vac switches on my 345. Just put the brazing tip on my red wrench and heated them a lil. Came right out. Tapped the air portswith a 1/4 pipe tap and put oil galley plugs in the holes. Brass in the intake. Puttin a lil heat on them wont hurt, its cast iron lol I put antiseize on every thing before install. Seems to help on the trail makes it come apart with lil effort. Unlike other folks havin to beat shit loose with a bfh or a 10ft cheater lol

Thanks for the advice. I don't have a torch but I shold be able to use a benzomatic torch. Did you do all this with the motor in or out of the Scout? One of my biggest issues is space. I used to be a bodybuilder so basically I am a 6' 280lb man and getting in to tight spots is difficult to say the least. My Scout is stock with 31's on it and I have to jack the truck up to get under it. The air rails give me fits every time I change the plugs.
 
Hey Mike, I couldn't get a reading for the rpm with my meter on this e-coil. Where do you hook up yours at? My meter was all over the place so I just set the idle speed by ear for now.

Hey Mike. I might be in the market sooner than I thought just because. Do you or anybody know of a round body for sale in good shape? Been flirting with a guy in nm with a decent looking tall with a straight six and no power anything but... If anyone has any info on a 60's tall 4x4 let me know
