109 NADA Registry

[michel]

Started #720 today and getting to know the beast. Is the gear lever original? My other Series have "crooked" levers, but this one looks like it from a Plumber's sullies store. Does anyone know what these "Magneto" switches for?

Thanks,

Michel

Hi Michel,

I'm just getting started with the NADA variant myself, so I'm no expert. But, every example I've seen has a straight stick, I believe it has to do with the fact that the bulkhead/firewall is pushed further into the truck to account for the longer engine, so there is not enough room for the "bent" stick. If you send me your email, I can send you the specific service manual and a nearly complete parts manual specific to the NADA which others were kind enough to provide to me. Best, Rod

PS No idea on the magneto switch, but given the plate itself is different than the other dash (that black vinyl stuff is unique to the NADA I believe), it's probably a mod made by a PO.

Indeed, only these NADA had Vinyl-coated dash plates. Not an improvement, IMHO....

Any reference material would be greatly appreciated! My email adress is michelo110@yahoo.com

Hi Michel,

Email sent with a nearly complete Parts Manual (if someone has a complete one, please share, mine has several pages missing, and the Service manual (thanks to Jim and Josh respectively!).

I agree that it would be much simpler to restore if it was just shiny or matt black paint!

If you have a chance to look at the part number on your cylinder head and chime in as to what you have, might add a little color to the discussion below.

Thanks, Rod

When I send a Parts Catalogue by email I do not send duplicate drawings pages. If you are missing description pages send the numbers to me and I'll send them to you. I will send the 2 of you the Page that describes the differences between the 4 cyl and 6 cal NADA. It answers some of the questions you seek answers too. Rod did my 2 part #2 reach you?

#107 is located in Chesterland, Ohio, and I've owned for about 3 years. It's original in pretty good condition, and hope to have it roadworthy this fall. Engine runs okay, but tranny needs rebuilding (leaking real bad).

It is not leaking, it is "Marking Its Territory".

Posted to Guns and Rovers too but might get a better answer here.

I have a NADA 2.6 and my throttle linkage is sticking. I've taken it all apart and done the following:
Cleaned all parts
Replaced the main spring (behind pedal on bulkhead side)
Replaced the bushing on the back of the engine
Lubed and reinstalled everything


When I step on the gas and remove my foot, the pedal returns but the throttle stays on. If I blip the throttle it comes back.

I can't figure it out. I have another friend who is restoring a NADA and his throttle is doing the exact same thing.

Any advice?

Thanks

#059 recently acquired from a field in Livermore, Maine. Previous owner apparently purchased from a sell off from ECR . Unsure of plans moving forward as we are currently in the rebuild of a of a 67 5 door diesel.
