Any idea what these markings are?

She lives, only on ether at the moment as no gas is getting to the engine via the carb. It has a Holley Truck Avenger (670 cfm) that was completely lacqured up on the inside. Pulled it apart tonight and it's now soaking in a carb cleaning bath for the next 24 hours. It was just nasty inside...

Checked that too, nice and hot blue spark. plus, pulled a coil from a vehicle I had running to see if that would make a difference, nope. just does not want to fire up. About to pull the radiator and ponder pulling the engine (which is a huge pain in the ass)

Still no fire but a few more single puffs and every now and then a backfire. Checked timing, good. Set dwell on each set of point and total dwell for both points is 39 spec is 35-40. Reset timing after adjusting dwell. Changed out coil, changed out condenser. Still not wanting to run. put a...

I learned the thumb trick from working on 4 cylinder jeep engines and learned a new trick today with the 361.. I took my compression meter (the gauge has a quick disconnect from the hose) and screwed that into the plug hole and hold my thumb over the end of it, that way, I can pay more attention...

The items internals are all original military as I have the rebuild sheet for it and the cam was good so not replaced. The rest of the items were good and within spec as well. Only thing replaced were some bearings, seals etc. The starter is correct and orignal. I checked the rotation on the...

Having problems with a military 361 V8. Engine was rebuilt about 10 years ago and was never started and the previous owner put a little marvel mystery oil in the cylinders every few months and turned it over. The carb currently does not have gas going to it. only trying to get it to fire with...

Spoke with the previous owner today and it has an edelbrock 383 performer manifold on it along with the edelbrock carb. The only issue I have now is that the aftermarket carb and manifold combo is a little too high and the radiator will not sit down all the way. Was thinking of having about 1/4...

Looking for a hard or electronic copy of TM 9-2805-216-34 Thanks Jason

Looking to replace the factory carb and potentially the manifold on the 381 and was curious what carb is recommended, I know the Edelbrock (spelling?) 1405 was recommend. I have two other similar carbs and will check to see which ones I have when I get back. While I have the radiator out, is...

Need to borrow/rent a 10 Ton Gooseneck trailer to move a MV i purchased near Knoxville Tennessee. I have a Dodge 2500 with 5.9L Cummings and Banks Exhaust Brake and a few other mods (my truck is set up to tow the load, trailer and truck I'm hauling back). I will need the trailer for about 1-2...

about 18 ft long and 14K lbs.

Do you have a bunch of land to play on? If not, then wheeled is the way to go! I've had both tracked and wheeled armor and when it comes to just being able to hope in it and go for a drive (to Arby's, Walmart, CVS) wheeled armor is the way to go. Plus if there are local shows, just drive it...

M26s and M26A1s have some awesome acceleration abilities... Saw a video of one accelerating at 32 ft/s^2, but that was after it was pushed off a cliff.

AWESOME!!! Congrats!

From what I heard, he was able to get it taken care of.

Anyway to track down a V and who (what country) it was sold to and if it had Vietnam history? Jason

Just go with a XM706. ;-) Street legal Spares for engine are found at NAPA Other parts are easy, except the transfer case Plus it will do 55 without too much problem and you can drive it short sprints on the interstate. Jason

If you are talking about these units, good luck getting them back in the states, not saying that it can't be done but you'll have to get State Department import permits b/c they fall under ITAR regulations. These units will more than likely be in the 100 to 200K range, but I could be wrong...
