I work as an electrician and have been installing a lot of 24v ac and dc led lighting this year. We have a lot of small lighting strips left over which I am sure I could use. Could you post a photo of your install? Is your light a festoon lighting strip or a smaller strip with integral LEDs which ar...

Sal, I have not ordered the 2247 plugs yet. I am currently doing house projects and the truck is running well right now.

Thanks Cuz. I did not know about the military specs you listed. I went of the other chart. The chart I was referring to was the one Sal posted (www.garbee.net/~cabell/PartsCross.PDF). It listed the 2246 as the next hotter spark plug in a list of M-37 replacement parts. You can check it out from Sal'...

I ordered Autolite 2246 plugs from the same chart. I was looking for a hotter plug due to carbon buildup. When I got the 2246 plugs, my spark plug wires would not fit into them due to the ceramic core that is different from my 2245 plugs in use. Has anyone had a similar problem? I would still like h...

I asked the same question of this board a couple of times. I built a straight air intake which uses a Kand N filter and I do not want to have to tap a bunch of holes in it. The best other option is using the vac pump part of the fuel pump to suck air through. Cuz has info on this. I bought a 12 volt...

I am not versed in all the different versions of these trucks. Is there an original red/olive green pattern for an explosive transport truck, or is that a unique paint scheme? It sure looks good either way

I sent my distributor off to M-series rebuild for a pointless conversion. I had some other work done there, but my truck runs great now. it is impossible to pinpoint what helped the most I am not espescially versed in setting the gaps and timing old ignition systems, so their work made it easy for m...

Thanks Cuz. My understanding of vacuum pressures is limited, but I understand how a vacuum leak would result in a lean condition. I will try the restriction and get back here to let everyone know how it works. When I got my truck from a wildfire fighting district, a lot of the vacuum and vent lines ...

First off, Riverrat, sorry for the thread highjack. Since I have taken it this far I have a few more questions. Cuz, I thought the distributor lines were for cooling only. Since there is no vac advance how would it affect idle? Would enough air be pumped into the intake manifold to affect the idle? ...

Cuz, I remember you posting about the restriction before. What is the purpose of the .04" restriction? I am not going to use the wipers if that matters. They are going to get an electric retrofit if I can find a small and inexpensive option there. What would happen if I used no restriction?

Thanks for the input. I am going to get a couple of the Kand N crankcase breather filters for both the gas vent and the distributor vent lines. I have been running the truck for several months now with no cooling of the coil, but I do not want to have an early coil failure, so I need to get this ven...

I built a really nice air intake and put a K and N filter on it. I am going to thread the crankcase breather into it, and that is all. The brake vent was eliminated before I bought the truck and I am going to put a small filter on the gas vent tube. The venting of the distributor is going to be take...

Once you pressure bleed you will never bleed another way. I am thinking of making a pressure cover for my KTM dirt bike's front brake. The thing is always spongy! Pressure bleeding is fast and easy and you can do it yourself. No more telling your wife to push, but do not release!

Thanks Cuz. I'll start with the idle screw.

I was recently talking with my auto shop teacher from high school about my M37. He was my teacher almost 30 years ago. When I told him the truck has no vacuum advance, he recommended I set my timing for 8-10 degrees before TDC. I am currently set at 5 degrees before TDC and the truck is running well...
