Hi Want to thank you for this link if they actually have the kits they list, it will solve several carb kits needs I have right now. One of the things I really appreciate is that the kits are rated for ethanol containing gas. Will have to give them a call to see if they have the kit for my...

Hi Can you refresh my memory does this engine have manual or self adjusting valves? Reason I ask is that one of straight six engines in my CMPs went from full power to no power in 30 miles when one of the exhaust valves went to zero clearance. Engine running at full power cut away third of the...

Hi Have not had chance to get the AN/GRR-5 out one the bench to see how I fixed mine when I had this problem. I have a couple AN/GRR-5s and cannot remember which ones are working. The comment on the diodes is a good one. For a couple years in the 80s we had AN/GRR-5 in the house so we...

Hi If you pull the distributor for any reason don't forget to check that the gear on the shaft is tight to the shaft. I've had gears on 40s vintage Chevy trucks (Canadian Military Pattern) work loose and then break the pin. Latest similar lose of power and hard starting on any of my CMPs was...

Hi Will the State give you a 10 or 20 day temporary plate to bring the truck into the state? Had this problem once here in NH to bring a military trailer into the state. They could not confirm the serial number so would not issue a plate, took a call to the director of DMV to get the counter...
