It would be less work, but it'd be more believable for a MV to have less then perfect welds than a restored VW Bug, my next project. It's more to perfect my panel work, than doing something easy. Welding heavier gauge metal is a cake walk compared to sheet metal. Also, the toolboxes on the...

After many years of waiting, I finally have a permenant home and have my deuce too. It was delivered in March and I have been slowly working on getting her taken apart. When I was driving her off the flatbed, she had a noticible miss, like the ignition was shutting itself off, so I stripped...

Generator is interchangeable, the pulley may need to be changed.

The military purposely had 6.2l detuned in all new Humvees. Any engine rebuilt by the "prison system" were rebuilt to civilan specifications and had more power. I have had a civilian Hummer up to 115mph, smooth ride... I've had a military 2seater needle splitting the bottom of the speedometer...

Memphis probably stock both, I know they had a civvy ignition conversion in their parts catalogue. If you look on the distributor for a model number, I know NAPA can cross-reference it for parts. I had the young guy the other day scrambling through paper manuals to cross-reference the belts for...

The bulb should have a number on it.. probably on the face somewhere.

This is what I have read about 24v, 12v, and 6v ignition coils. Some of this information is from other vehicle websites. M37, M38, M151 use a 24v coil, no external resistor 2.5 and 5 tons use a 12v coil, external resistor drops voltage from 24 to 6 volts approximately. Primary winding...

Distributor breakdown Since I was having trouble with my distributor, I decided to tear it down. Here's a picture from the manual labeling all the components. The primary lead passes through a capacitor and the coil has a capacitor. Both capacitors are for radio noise suppression and shouldn't...

The point I was trying to make is, the voltage at the coil after passing through the resistor is six volts. All automotive coils run at six volts. 12 volt automobiles either have a resistor/resistor wire that drops the voltage to six volts or the coils have an internal resistor. Even modern car...

12v Hi-perfmaance coil with internal resistor? Heavy truck coil from that era? I really can't seeing Delco making a special coil for such a small market and not use something off the shelf.. I'm going to try using my Bosch coil since I'm pretty sure the current coil is bad. It tests good cold...

The "24 volt coil" is just a regular 6 volt coil. The resistor drops the voltage from 24 to 5-6 volts. I was able to get a Bosch coil for VW air-cooled bug to physically fit, but the secondary tower was a little tall. Take the old coil to NAPA to find a match. The question is whether the coils...

Does it feel like the mechanism is working? My door sticks too, I usually have to give it a good yank or a stiff shove if I'm inside.

The A1 A2 harnesses will have different wire lead lengths to the oil and temp sensors, but will still work. Wire #55 (Flame Heater) can be repurposed for the distributor power. It's actually the same wire location for the gasser, but repurposed for the flame heater. An A2 harness will most...

Belts for the OA331: Air compressor: NAPA 25-28454 Generator: NAPA 25-9530 or 25-9530HD(Kevlar reinforced)

Early PS Magazines covered the 24v system in great detail.

I guess I should have mentioned all the points have been cleaned and checked for free movement. I'll probably take all the relays off, clean all the connections, check the coils for opens, and make sure all the grounds are good. I'm also going to see how hard it'd be to bypass the 4th relay...

My 25A regulator is overcharging. I have looked at 9-2320-209-35 for adjustments, but my regulator has 4 relays under the cover. What is the 4th relay? what is its adjustment? It will charge correctly for about five minutes, but then peg out at 30v. I have checked the voltage at the batteries. I...

I know most of the streets in New Orleans and most state hwys qualify as "off road" because they worse than a washed out, washboard filled dirt road. I'm sorta glad I'm getting my Duece outta LA. Anything over 25 years old can be registered as an antique vehicle and be safe?

Moving day is near I drove the truck out of the backyard and to the front of the house. It will be picked up in a few weeks and transported to my new home in Florida. It's nice to be retired and have time to devote to my truck. Its going to need all new tires, torque rods, cab, and just a...

There was a thread way back in the day that answered the question of where to find 'canon plugs". If I remember correctly, marine electrical suppliers should have or be able to order all the plugs, rubbers, and shells.
