    If you still have no answer to your marking question...I have the specs for marking the jeep in U.S. Army standards and U.S. Marine standards that I can send you.

    HELP! Rebuilt engne less than 700 miles. Engine started acting irregular, low vacuum reading, sooty spark plugs. Will no longer idle correctly.

    Won the compression tester I bid on, with a ridiculously low bid, before being offered one by Ziggy 0. Sure appreciated the offer but was stuck with the bid I previously made for a tester. Got my coil from Da Bella and got my distributor points rotor and condenser. Tester will arrive next week...

    That is the reason I gave for cancelling the order. I asked the very question you posed.

    Order with MECO cancelled and reordered the Da Bella coil today...Thanks again for the info. I guess MECO realized that the manufactured in the USA statement in the ad was incorrect so they accepted my premise to cancel the order if it was the run of the mill shiny chrome Chinese product.

    Am trying to cancel order if this item is Chinese Made instead of "as advertised" in the ad as manufactured in the U.S.A. Sent MECO a cancellation request explaining this.

    Thanks for this vital info. Wish I had waited...your post is very important. I bought this because it shows the country of manufacture as the USA and t he pictures on Ebay did not look like shiny chrome of the Chinese product. New 24 volt Coil Jeep Willys M38 M38A1 M151 M37 11663066 7374882...

    I placed an auction low ball bid on a Pittsburg Tools compression tester that will end tomorrow. I am not raising the bid. I would be interested in your compression tester. Please send me details. I just purchased and tested two 6V, 12V, 24V timing lights that were used for the older vehicles...

    Ordered a set of points, condenser, rotor and a new coil (black U.S.A. made) coil from Memphis Equip as back ups if needed. Will be checking compression as soon as I purchase then get the tester I need. Do not want any Chinese junk testers and do not wish to support the C.C.P.. if I can help it.

    I have a 24VDC electric fuel pump (inline) back up and use the standard dodge 230 CI 6 cylinder civilian (glass bowl) fuel pump that does not have the built in vacuum pump. The only vacuum line installed comes off of the intake manifold for the windshield wipers. There are the two air lines to...

    Thank you...Wilco on the compression test. The valves were adjusted at rebuild. Wondering if the valve adjustment is out of whack and whether it alone could cause this much trouble?
