    Problem with MEP-003a

    Perhaps the power surges or becomes unregulated, and that breaker prevented over voltage damage? If you had not 'fixed it' you can almost bet the power would have stayed out.

    Our power went off for a few hours, and my standby ex army 7KW twin cylinder electric start (Auto on - off when the power goes off - on) kicked in perfectly, I hardly noticed the change over. Now it is thawing nicely here in south east U.K. and the roads are getting passable again.

    Older GM trucks in military?

    Could be wrong but I seem to recall they were used on U.K. bases at that period, and even later. Certainly the multifuels were. In fact my 530C came off a base in the eighties!.

    Can I get a clutch pedal return spring at a local parts store?

    Seriously Any spring is a good spring. I have a huge box selection of differing springs just for replacement purposes. There is nothing in that box that will not match to any replacement we might need.
