Thanks for the heads up, Gary. I've bought several things from Midwest and still planning to do more. Good preservation of NOS parts and good shipping, two key factors for me. Indeed John sells them but it is stated in the website that I should send the used core. In the meantime, of other users suf...

Yeah, even though this unit was planned for fun only, maybe I can get it to work. No issues buying an ETW1. The problem is that other than those sellers exchanging the core, there seems to be no one selling the carb. I've checked here in Europe and nothing. And eBay is empty. :? I wish I had an orig...

Hi guys. The truck I got came with a different carb that I cannot recognize at the moment. Seems to be an adaptation made with some European part (Fiat?) and the mounting base of the Chrylser manifold. Anyways, I've just bought an used BB carb core (not the ETW-1) and my intention was to start rebui...

Hello Hal. Allow me to to fix the links for the pictures in your posts as somehow they don't work when clicking https://i.postimg.cc/j5N5kTsS/DSCN2152.jpg don't touch the floats when bending the flap, only the connection and the "flap" that regulates the needle. https://i.postimg.cc/Dy5zNB...

Don't laugh but long ago I used to have a long artery clamp for things like this when working on engines.
So I'd hold a small piece of white or yellow crayon and do the markings.
Note that I've never done this in the T245 and I see there's too little space.

1 --> 5 --> 3 --> 6 --> 2 --> 4

Why are you using cylinder No. 6? Maybe I got you wrong.
Anyways, when you reach TDC on cyl No 1 you apply the mark in the balancer (I recommend 3 marks...). And that's it.
And yeah, I use TDC.

Thank you all for the warm welcome.

As promised.... If you go to CLASSIC.COM these guys have a very nice historical database about the market of lots of vehicles. So you can check for things like what is the model's year that people offers the most online, average mileage, locations, highest/lowest sale price achieved and so on. Prett...

No m37 in any condition has gone that high.... I completely agree with you on every word you wrote, but last year an M37 in Glendale, AZ was sold for $66.000 USD. Those figures are hard to believe, unless it was a scam or some fake auctioning. But I saw the website and the truck (solid restoration,...

Vintage Power Wagons sells them. I don't see any M37 tailgates in their online catalog, though maybe I missed it. I had an email exchange with Matt from VPW in August last year as my truck was lacking the gate. I wrote because the part was not in the catalog as you mention. He replied that reproduc...

Hi Bruce, thanks but I know where the serial is. As mentioned, I will explain in another topic but just to give you a hint: my serial is 10 digits and it doesn't start with the following: 800xxxxx 802xxxxx L245-xxxxx 2661-xxxxx 2668-0-xxxxx I checked the driver's spring and saw too much paint that I...

Thank you guys. Worth to note that I am not doing the restoration but "directing" it. I lack the space and time for the big things and at this moment an specialized shop is doing the job (they restore American muscles and classic Euro super-sports). But all steps and priorities are managed...

Hi, it's been a while but finally I'm introducing myself. My name is Sebastian, I'm 43yo, and I live in Spain. Currently I'm restoring my M37. The idea is to go as much as I can for the original condition although I'm not planning parades nor building a museum. Just for the sake of fun and because I...
