I was active duty Army from February 1964 to August 1970, never saw an M-151 with the spare tire mounted on the side like that one. Every one I drove, whether in Germany, Viet Nam, Korea or stateside, had the fuel can on the rear above the bumper on one side and the spare was on the other side...
OK, finally got around to checking the timing on the injector pump. As was said before, I had the PC marks aligned and forgot to align the injector pump. I was in a hurry because I was freezing my tail off. Instead of totally removing the IP, I put a 1/8" rod in the screw hole of the pump and...

No worries Chris, there are a lot of people that might be having the same issues and might be following. I know when I first started following forums and they just dropped off it was discouraging. I like to know how things turn out. Out of curiosity, how long are you keeping the glow plugs...
Hi rusty,
I know, but it doesn't help others that might have the same problem. If I have a problem and get it fixed I am going to post it no matter how silly it sounds. Never know, it might help someone like me, LOL.
