Re: m 37 brake bleeding

wc16,
Just make sure that the vent from the master cylinder to the elbow on the intake horn is closed off. Also check the brass block on the front differential.
Are your brake lines new? Both rubber and metal? I also used the motive power bleeder to bleed my brakes.

Re: Wanted Michelin 11.00 x!6.00 XL or XZL

Thankyou for the infomation guys. Neither Berg tire or Gay tire has any 11.00 16R XL or XZL tires. But I will continue to keep calling to find either 1 XL or 3 XZL tires.

Re: Will This Engine Work in an M37?

Where is the fuel pump location? Is it on the passenger side middle of the engine. If it is keep in mind that vapor lock my be more of an issue
with it located diectly under the exhaust manifold. A heat shield may need to be fabricated similar to the front mounted fuel pump.

Re: Brake Adjustment ?

Anthony,
If the brakes were new did you readjust the anchor points so there is slight drag only at the anchor points. Then I adjust the upper cams with the .006 feeler by using the adjustment window on the drum. I used the procedure in Army TM 9-8030.

Re: won't start need help

Pryorfire48,
You did not forget the small spring from the coil to the cap, is the rotor making contact with the cap. Are you using the Military ignition wires? Are you using all the same components that it ran with before? Did you change anything?
