Kenny, Many parts of the ship have been opened since the ship arrived. Plans to open the engine room and other parts of the ship are being worked on by volunteers. There are areas of the deck that were off limits as the wood decking over the steel is being replaced. This is a work in progress...
The South Jersey Chapter of the MVPA members were invited to display our vehicles at the dock in Camden N.J. where the USS New Jersey is on display. We had 4 vehicles on hand. R. Chambrian's M35A2 "Lucky Lizard", Mr. E.Baals drove his NOS 1941 Plymouth staff car, his son Erny drove his Ford...

My injector pump is leaking at the fuel cut off and possibly at the throttle shaft. Are the seals replaceable with out removing the pump and what are the part numbers at NAPA for the seals? Anybody change them yet?

Thats great information on the timing issue. I too have the double pulley setup with the electric start. David...
