    I used a piece of sheet metal--put the air filter on top of the metal and trace the diameter and then cut the metal to size----drill two holes to line up with the hold down nuts--my brother used thin plywood and that worked--you suck in much more air so the filter will get dirty faster--blow...

    1985 CUCV M1009 Normal Shifting?

    If you want to try something different-- run the vacuum line from behind the engine directly to the vacuum fitting on the trans --get some good long vacuum line--the trans will shift at 10 mph and 25MPH --you can hardly feel the shift-- the engine rpm feels good at the shift points--bypass...
