Have a bit too much petal play (more than I like) and a little soft so I bled the line from the master cylinder to the power assist and had one or two large air bubble comes out. Now it seems to be much better, still a little more travel than I like. Since I don't know the exact history of the...

Are there that many Vs without transfer cases or damaged ones?

Need the following items: 1. Early transmission - have excellent A1 transmission for trade (please see pictures below of #1. Shows the retainer on the rear and the boss for the retainer on the front) 2. Early 2 hole windshield with correct defroster vents and canvas covered hinges 3...

Picked up what appears to be a 1960 Ford M151 from Chuck last night and made it back to airport to pick up the wife with 5 minutes to spare. Will keep a picture log on this forum of the progress over the next year or two as I slowly restore this diamond in the ruff. I'll take a bunch of...

LOL, it arrived at night and haven't pull the covers off the front yet to clean it up, been working on the engine. lol Great speaking today as well.

Do you know the serial number for the unrestored V? Just curious how close, if close, to mine it is. Jason

Any idea what these markings are?

She lives, only on ether at the moment as no gas is getting to the engine via the carb. It has a Holley Truck Avenger (670 cfm) that was completely lacqured up on the inside. Pulled it apart tonight and it's now soaking in a carb cleaning bath for the next 24 hours. It was just nasty inside...

Checked that too, nice and hot blue spark. plus, pulled a coil from a vehicle I had running to see if that would make a difference, nope. just does not want to fire up. About to pull the radiator and ponder pulling the engine (which is a huge pain in the ass)

Still no fire but a few more single puffs and every now and then a backfire. Checked timing, good. Set dwell on each set of point and total dwell for both points is 39 spec is 35-40. Reset timing after adjusting dwell. Changed out coil, changed out condenser. Still not wanting to run. put a...

I learned the thumb trick from working on 4 cylinder jeep engines and learned a new trick today with the 361.. I took my compression meter (the gauge has a quick disconnect from the hose) and screwed that into the plug hole and hold my thumb over the end of it, that way, I can pay more attention...

The items internals are all original military as I have the rebuild sheet for it and the cam was good so not replaced. The rest of the items were good and within spec as well. Only thing replaced were some bearings, seals etc. The starter is correct and orignal. I checked the rotation on the...

Having problems with a military 361 V8. Engine was rebuilt about 10 years ago and was never started and the previous owner put a little marvel mystery oil in the cylinders every few months and turned it over. The carb currently does not have gas going to it. only trying to get it to fire with...

Spoke with the previous owner today and it has an edelbrock 383 performer manifold on it along with the edelbrock carb. The only issue I have now is that the aftermarket carb and manifold combo is a little too high and the radiator will not sit down all the way. Was thinking of having about 1/4...

Looking for a hard or electronic copy of TM 9-2805-216-34 Thanks Jason

Looking to replace the factory carb and potentially the manifold on the 381 and was curious what carb is recommended, I know the Edelbrock (spelling?) 1405 was recommend. I have two other similar carbs and will check to see which ones I have when I get back. While I have the radiator out, is...

Need to borrow/rent a 10 Ton Gooseneck trailer to move a MV i purchased near Knoxville Tennessee. I have a Dodge 2500 with 5.9L Cummings and Banks Exhaust Brake and a few other mods (my truck is set up to tow the load, trailer and truck I'm hauling back). I will need the trailer for about 1-2...

Do you have a bunch of land to play on? If not, then wheeled is the way to go! I've had both tracked and wheeled armor and when it comes to just being able to hope in it and go for a drive (to Arby's, Walmart, CVS) wheeled armor is the way to go. Plus if there are local shows, just drive it...
