    Dont know the RPMs as the Tach cable is broke, ordering one, but needing one that is longer than stock for the bigger intake.. found out yesterday that an M35a2 or 3 is about 6" longer with the same ends so that should work,,,,

    Dead Pedal,?????

    The original was a 37 button with only one tiny washer under it with the tiny spring in the barrel assembly. The 17 was from a junk pump on a scrap 350 small cam I got in a trade. So I put the 17 in the running engine in the same configuration as the 37 with the single washer, all other...

    how to plumb a civilian air braked truck to flat tow with brakes like military does

    "Rescued" M816 Wrecker

    Hmmm,,, 80 psi,,,, Mine usually actuates fine at 80-90psi,,, my blowoff hits at 90 on the gauge... Double check the adjustable rod for the air can actuator. There is a stop bolt that is adjustable on or near the bell housing, this could be holding it off.
