Rafael, what is your truck's serial number that's stamped on the front frame rail (should be eight digits; for example 80011151)?

Great detective job!!! What a butcher job on the fuel filter from a previous owner; when you buy something I guess you never know what they may have done to it to cause you grief going forward. I have a 24 VDC Facet fuel pump in my truck on the frame rail just below and forward of the fuel tank (FAC...

Re: Which Gauge Terminal to Sending Unit

If you look up the MIL-STD's for those gages, the smooth connector goes to IGNITION and the ribbed connector goes to SENDER.

Re: Pertronix for M37 12V? Also curious about 4.89 gears

Bob Stahl from Veteran Vehicles has an outstanding article on 4.89 gearing for the M37.
He's a very helpful guy, sells parts (including an M37 third member with 4.89 gears installed), and knows these trucks!
Go to this site for his article.
