    Paint gun question

    No state has more humidity than Florida and all I ever used was a little water separator and inline paper filters ( one at compressor and one at spray gun ) and never had a issue. If you only have a small compressor than I would use a "Internal mix" spray gun like this one...

    M37 distributor problem

    No you don't need to drop the pan as the oil pump is external and bolts into the side of block ( pic ). My tip would be to go buy or look up TM 9-1840A engine rebuild manual for the M-37 being you will have to align the pump slot ( aprox 1 o'clock position ) via the cam gear with tdc on #1.

    M37 distributor problem

    Both the civie and military dists have a tapered slot on the bottom of their shafts that fit into the oil pump, the slot on the mil dist is offset ( see picture ) whereas the civie slot is centered on the shaft, so if the previous owner did not change out the military oil pump with a civie one...

    Finally restoring the M37

    002/003 Glow Plugs

    I just replaced #1 & 2 while I was doing yearly service on my 003a. The very front one I had to work back and forth ( in/out ) with the ratchet as it was binding but it came out, #2 came right out. I will get back to #3 & 4 later as they seem to be a little more difficult to get at and I was...

    How long to cool down after Short Trips...

    I've always associated proper turbo cool down with highway driving ( ie Interstate /turnpike ) where your running along at cruise speed for quite awhile then pulll into a rest stop and simple shut down to which the overly hot turbo bearings burn off ( cook ) the residual oil in the bearing...
