This is the best documented and accurate website that we V-12ers have found.
Very knowledgable and dedicated group to the GMC 60-66 V6/V12 engines.
Visit them, there's loads of pics, articles, and info there.

try again. 2 stock caps, coils and guts but it is a 1 off dist/

The GMC Twin-Six V12 Does have Two Distributor Caps, but they are both on the same Distributor
Drive. inder the plate are two sets of points, that run two coils, each one if for one side
of the engine, the left for the left & the right for the right. This enigne will run off six
cylinders if you have one side go bad it can be limpped home on the other.

And Again. The grill and bumper was white. The wife then decided it need some contrast. So spring green it is.

The V12'ers just might get together next year. I think that would be super cool.

found a company for you that builds the megaphones and a lot of other usefull parts too :

I wanted to explain why ads had appeared on "Baluar", the '62 GMC V-12, videos. Haystack155 is my son and did the videos because I'm not that 'putor savvy.
A month or so ago, Youtube contacted him and asked if they could post ads, due to the number of hits the videos received. We debated it for awhile, then decided we'd consent. They offered to pay a royalty based on view numbers, but we have no idea what that will amount to, if any. We didn't know what type of ads they'd display.

Some ads were/are kinda' "girlie", and started to make us wonder if that was a good idea. So far, they haven't been too bad, but if they get too bad, we will have them removed. If they don't remove the bad ones, we will delete "Balaur" entirely.

We want to keep anything we post to be in good taste and "family friendly". He has a child and I have other grandkids, so we don't want anything associated with what we do that we wouldn't want to watch with our kids or anyone else.

I haven't tinkered on the truck for awhile, but maybe will get inspired to get back to work on it after snow season.
Thanks,
Cayoterun

cars prolly allways be connected to wild/pinup girls as there used in advertizing of cars all over the world and because youngsters try to impress girls with them in hopes to get some action sortah say
i have to say that it toned down a lot in hot rod and simulair magazines since the 80's
maibe you could ask you tube to get a G rating

[cayoterun]

I've had second thoughts about it after we/he decided to agree to do it. We darn sure never posted the videos for money or gain of any kind in mind and at their request. It was for enjoyment and passtime to discuss and get ideas from this forum. I sure don't want to do anything to mess that up. Never thought about what kind of ads they might put on. I thought it would probably be all automotive related. Shows how dumb I am. World is sure getting complicated for this old country boy. I'll have Haystack check into it, see what he can learn if we have any say-so about ad content or how long we've agreed to running them.
Thanks,
Cayoterun

I watched one , and it had an ad for a videogame..

[cayoterun]

Most ads I've seen has been harmless, but one or two made me wonder where it might lead. It will probably be ok, I hope.

Jon: Has it been colder and more snow than normal up there?
We've had some nice snows here with no wind, and we like those.
Cayoterun

[jonzcustomshop]

actually the opposite... we had a real cold 2 weeks before christmas, and then it was warmer, and almost no snow until the last week or so.
definately some erratic weather patterns....

[locomotive breath]

I submitted my Mustang video for revenue sharing about 100,000 hits ago and I still haven't seen anything. I keep hoping Hollywood will be calling any day now.

Personally I think this is the worst winter here in the DFW area in my 43 years. Today was the first full sunny day in weeks. We got a foot of snow last Thursday. It usually takes 10 years around here to get a foot of snow. One good thing is that I haven't seen any fire ants in awhile.

Is it summer yet?

[cayoterun]

I watched Amarillo weather. According to them, you guys really got dumped on. Record snowfall that day, wasn't it?

Youtube: I haven't ordered a ThunderV12 yet, planning to pay for it with the revenue.

I may try running Balaur with the existing radiator without a hood until some of us come up with a reliable solution to the heating problems. Lots of other work needs to be done before any steady driving.

[watahyahknow]

i found an article in the newspaper here yesterday about people making up to 500 euro a month with running the ads on youtube

[cayoterun]

Sweet music: Fired "Balaur" up today for the first time since last fall. I think I've gone about as far as I'm going to with the old truck. May go to a couple of "show and tells" with it this summer as it is. After that-----haven't decided.

Well I think you've done a great job! I say have a fantastic summer and enjoy.
How's the season shaping up for the farmers in Oklahoma?

[cayoterun]

We've had great winter snows that didn't drift, and getting nice spring rains. Looking good for the winter wheat, and early pasture growth for cattle. As the saying goes, "Don't count your chickens 'til they hatch".

Glad to hear your dusting "Balaur" off for the season. Hope all is well.
