I will try that tomorrow. The condenser was replaced with new 3 months and 80 miles ago so is the last thing I would have considered. Hopefully that is the problem. I'll post back what I find. Also I might pull a distributor off of a parts truck and compare everything.

I am trying to sort out another problem. Today I took the M135 to go out to the parts trucks to get a few needed pieces. The truck was running great until I went to accelerate from a stop at an intersection. As I was accelerating there was a huge backfire and I mean huge enough that it blew out...

How do we get this thread made into a sticky?

I really would like to have a military hard top.

PM me your email address and I will send you a copy of the parts list several of us have been working on. There are parts numbers to brake lines that you can get at NAPA, O'Reilly's, Bumper to Bumper, etc.

The truck is in SW Kansas about 45 miles from the Colorado border. I used to live out there almost 2 years ago. It is so flat out there that at night, you can see towns over 50 miles away. The wind never stops blowing and winters were quite miserable. When it would snow, I have seen the snow...

I just realized that I have not posted pictures of my first 1952 M135 (#4984). I've had it almost 8 years. It needs some transmission work. One day soon, I will get it out here where I live now.

You're welcome. If you need anything, let me know. I'm not too far from you.

I use a 12 ton bottle jack and 6 ton stands. Is this the port you are talking about? I believe it is for a heater, but my truck does not have a military heater installed right now. Did you get your transmission figured out yet?

I will try to get that done soon.

The accelerator pump I used is 2.385" long and 0.61" diameter. Yours should work. I installed the carburetor with the new pump in it yesterday and it works great!! No more spitting, sputtering or stumbling when accelerating from a complete stop. Today I installed the exhaust system using the...

Ok. I don't think I have that but will check in the next few days.

What is the fording plate? Is it a data plate or the round piece that goes on the dash part that leads to the air cleaner? I may have one on my parts trucks.

Not much resistance at all. You can feel a little pressure when moved each way, but not near as much as from the one that was in that kit. If time allows, I will go by the parts store tomorrow and see if they can cross reference that number. I pulled off the old rusted out muffler and plan on...

I think we have solved the accelerator pump problem. The visit to Ace Carburetor in Tulsa was a success. Richard, who runs the business, had seen the Holley 885-FFG before and knew what to do. The accelerator pump that came in the rebuild kit was too large. He had a whole drawer full of the...

I checked out a carburetor from one of the parts trucks. Everything is the same size as what was in my other carburetor. The pieces in the new kit have smaller openings. I'll be taking the rebuilt carburetor to get looked at tomorrow and will bring the kit pieces to show the guy and ask his...

How are you applying the black paint and getting it off of the raised portions without sanding? I am getting ready to do the plates on my truck too.

That is what I was wondering. I may pull one of the carbs from a parts truck and compare.

Are all of the diameters of the openings in your original brass parts larger than the ones with the new kit? (Except for the crimped ends of the above.)
