Don't be surprised. I actually considered converting to AN fittings and lines but discovered the fittings for the R12T filter were male ORB fittings which I did not have in my inventory. In addition I needed to cut the 3/8" fuel hard line forward of the filter and install a 3/8" compression x...

Mounted a Carter P4600HP 12v electric fuel pump on the frame at the rear of the cab. The pump will flow 50 gallons per hour at 4.5-8 psi. It will be ignition/relay wired. Also installed a HENKYO R12T 10 micron filter between the dual tank valve and the pump. The R12T also has a water trap in...

Decided to finish installing & plumbing the electric fuel pump. I used a Carter P4600HP which is a 12v, 50 gallon/hour 4.5-8 psi frame-mounted pump. I wanted to use a 24v but the P4603HD was nowhere to be found. The 12v model pulls 10 amps and will be ignition/relay-wired. Not knowing how...

The fuel return system starts at each injector in those small flexible hoses that jump from one injector to the next. All these are routed to a hard line on each side of the engine which runs over the water pump and exits the engine just above the fuel pump on the passenger side at the front...

Your fuel return line from the engine is either stopped up or kinked, thereby not allowing the excess fuel to be returned to the tank. Your fuel pump is sucking fuel from the tank which is causing the suction. Clear the obstruction in the return line and the problem should be solved. Just my...

Nice work. I'm in the final stages of installing Vintage Air in my M1028 rebuild. Just a heads-up - The kit comes with a length of 2" flexible hose for the defroster vent ports and 2-1/2" flexible hose for the cab vents ports. The VA instructions indicate to cut the 2-1/2" hose to certain...

I really find it hard to believe that it hasn't been done already.

If I was a machinist, I would design & produce a replacement triangle-shaped plate for the side access of the DB2 pumps with a sealed, spring-loaded plunge device with the internal end being a hex key to facilitate turning the fuel up/down externally. The external shape of the spring-loaded...

Yep. I'll do what I can. Only been on this project since 2010. It might be a little while before I can post photos of the beam pattern.

I had to do it. Just now purchased a pair on Amazon. I'll have to admit, this CUCV sickness is very debilitating. Thanks for the replies.

Finished installing the main parts of the Supercharger. The intercooler is an ambient pressure closed coolant system. The switch-operated 24v pump will mount on the driver's side inner fender and circulate 9.7 gallons-per-minute of 50/50 Prestone through the heat exchanger in the intake and...

Now that I have the intercooler as far as I can take it until the inner fenders go back on, I have turned my attention to finishing up the minor things on the engine. I had to remove the supercharger in order to install the rear air inlet housing to the blower. The housing is attached to the...

Today I'm working on the intercooler system for the Supercharger. I mounted a Hayden #1268 intercooler in the only place in the grille it could be mounted. The #1268 is the only intercooler I could find which incorporated 3/4" piping throughout to accommodate the 3/4" I.D. hoses from the...
