Mr. AA you have the kindest way with words. We Thank You. The great thing about hooking in with the MVPA folks was enjoying all the experience they had to offer. From the Dennis B's to the 350 M37 kids, the dog-tag maker, to the hosts of the Whitecourt Airshow that filled the fuel tanks of...

There is something wrong with that truck. Did everyone see this? Either someone put bondo all over the top rail, filled the tailgate, smoothed out the inside wall of the box, sanded everything flat, painted it then added patina including s/n and bumper tags.......... or that box has no work...

Welcome to the most MViron mentally stable greenish iron on the planet. Reduce, reuse and recycle. That truck looks better than anything up here so you got a good one. Keep those pick up pics coming. First thing I noticed was...... You don't need a 3' ladder to reach over the hood. What do...

We found a split, lower brake line on a deuce the PO converted from Dot 3 to Dot 5. Being in Canada with freeze thaw cycles, we likely create more internal condensation.....like the inside of a buried sea can...... and need to flush more. The Mattech figures the water can gather at a low spot...

I don't like long stories so I'll abbreviate. George the BATUS M135 came in a 5 truck deal with parts. The Previous Owner PO had a NOS crate engine and said if I bought the engine, I took the trucks too. The PO was an incredible 'mechanic mentor' MM, working around the green stuff all his life...

Had a hippie teach me how to float a 5 and 4 international back in 1981. Wasn't his truck so the lesson was free but I drove that truck for 17 summers without any clutch work. Wish I could open it up to have a look. The training goal was to be able to slow the truck without brakes or clutch...

Has it really been 10 years? Spring is here, the grass has riz, do you know where the stingers is? Looking over a truck for the first time this year and it's cold enough this is just a warning. Before you open the hood, open the door, before you sit on the seat.........check your hole for...

Piglet pooked Pink ! Who says you can't put lipstick on a pig. I was fighting the rubber connectors and knew at some point they'd need to come apart. All I had was lip moistener and it worked like a charm. This fuel pump/ pressure set up worked great. Allowed me to dial up the fuel pressure...

Somebody was looking for 6602 manuals and I can't find that thread. I know it was a -35 manual but not sure we have the correct numbers. We found a bunch of manuals in a truck cab at a wrecker so maybe we got lucky. Continental manuals preserved.

Where is that data? It's not on the data-plate. I thought the info would be here but 1-14 on page 1-8 only tells us ground clearance between 9.8" and 10.7". TM 9-2320-289-20 We'll bump this and look through -10 to see if we can find 22° and 30° somewhere in the manual...

With the rear box of the 1010 all 24 volt, heater, lights, fan etc, feeding 24v to the back using a 12 to 24 convertor might be easy enough after you change the alts to 12v. Any way you do it, once a family closes the back door to catch some sleep, the 1010 is the best bed ever. Using the...

"Parasitic Drain" and "Electrical Gremlins" are decent search terms I recall for the 1010. The bundle of wires through the fire-wall was something to check. My electrical problems were mostly solved when my 1010 jumped me so all I have is landscape advice. That is some beautiful landscape around...

Let's talk pump, regulator and gauge. What are the latest and best valued parts to deliver fuel to our 302's @ 3-5 p.s.i. ? I always prefer seeing Made in the U.S.A. on a product but the Performance-World parts showed up at the local Hot-Rod shop so I'm giving them a try. The catalogue is...

Hey you're new here, welcome aboard. What the heck is wrong with Service New Brunswick? Within North America: 1-888-762-8600 (no charge dial). I was on hold for 15 minutes. Maybe Alberta is still working for the people because we take the number off the frame into the 'private' DMV branch...

See there we go.....a description. Thank you. This is the answer to the question "How are we going to keep the engine from over revving when 18 year old kids are driving"...... . I can chase the holley manual now if it turns out we need to trouble-shoot more. Awesome. The guys that thought of...
