I had a problem w/ this truck in Jan., would not start. Fuel system (impco, JB-2) no good. Replaced everything from reggo coupler to low pressure fuel line to carb. ((Found the original converter (steel reed w/ rubber square inside) bent and rubber broken)).
Truck ran great for 2 months, again a complaint the truck wont start, replaced the convertor, opened the old convertor, found the steel reed bent and broken.
OK, maybe a fluke, changed the convertor again, got a call last nite, same problem, possible convertor.
If it is the convertor, whats causing these model J's to fail after 2 months. The truck is not running hot to my knowledge, maybe poor coolant flow?
Any suggestions?, thanks.

Fact of the week
The origin of "love" as the score zero in tennis is debated, but two main theories prevail. One suggests it's derived from the French word "l'oeuf" (egg) which resembles the shape of the number zero. The other proposes it's related to the Dutch word "lof" meaning "honour" as players might be playing for honour when scoreless.
