A ~$1k turbo seems like a lot of money to spend on an engine which appears to be ill equipped for anything but minimal additional power. For another ~1k on top of the turbo swap cost, you could swap in a cummins or DT466????

There was a DT466 powered tractor puller here a few summers ago. I don't remember which class it was in but it competed against allisons, rolls royces, and supercharged BBCs. I believe that it won its class...

I second the remark that it is good business practice to ship with insurance and a means of tracking package. My opinion is that a seller's responsibility ends ONLY when the package is received by the customer, not when the seller drops it in the mail.

I am assuming that the multfuel has full flow oil filtering... Most Ford and chrysler spin on oil filters have a bypass valve to allow oil to be diverted around the filter due to either the filter plugging or the oil being too cold (GM has 'em in the block). This is VERY important. Another...

This is really just a feeler to gauge interest. While I haven't put together costing yet, i expect that it will be less expensive than the current offerings from other suppliers. Will 5 amps serve most people? This should be enough to operate most small radios, cell phone chargers, CBs, etc...

I working on a 24V to 12V 5A DC-DC convertor and would like to know if there is any market/interest on this group. It will accecpt an input of 5 to 32V and output a regulated 12V.

Well, I am not going to mess with the multifuel. 30-50k is pretty miserable... From what I've read on this forum, there appear to be fundamental design flaws. I'm either going to stick with the reo gas engine or search out a cummins.

I have seen some folks asking an exorbitant price for vinyl cab tops ($250+) You can order one straight from the manufacturer for ~$170. It takes about a month to get. They also have cargo covers and bows. http://www.gmacover.com/

I am not trying to fan the fire, but I'd like to know a little more about the multifuel's weaknesses.

You can use a 7812 for small loads (radio shack has 'em). Anything larger is best served by a DC-DC converter. There are a several commercial solutions but you can also build your own. Linear Tech has one that looks suitable for 5A loads. If there was demand, I'd consider building and...

You need to know the load current before you can determine the resistor value. Dropping resistors are not a very good solution. The best would be a separate regulated 12V supply for your trailer.

I have an otherwise quiet gas truck. This heater has a high frequency whine like a vacuum cleaner.

Sam winer motors had wheel cylinders for ~$16 each. Not worth messing with rebuild kits IMHO.

I am using DOT 3 which, by design, soaks up moisture. This is not a problem if you flush it out periodically.

I bought a 24 volt heater very similar to the Mojave. $35 on ebay. Made by Red Dot. Just enough BTUs to run the defroster. Very noisy.

Antique Auto Cellar specializes in fuel pump rebuild kits. http://www.then-now.com/The_Cellar/cellar.htm

My holley carb book shows a holley fuel pump in pieces and it looks like the same as the reo style holley. The edelebrock appears to be a copy of the holley. The bolt pattern for the reo is the same center to center with a BBC. The reo has larger diameter bolts. My plan was to buy a good...

I got two junk rebuilt fuel pumps from there... No warranty. Fuel pump kits are available from the antique auto cellar. The problem is that most cores are worn out. The good thing is that the fuel pumps are universal; you just have to exchange your arm. There is an edelbrock fuel pump...

I called Memphis Equip this morning and talked to their parts dept. They do NOT have any more sprag eliminator kits. They sold the last two this month and ar not going to make any more. They haven't found a cost effective company to manufacture the gears so they are not going to mess with...

I'll give Memphis a call on Monday but here is their response to my email: -----Original Message----- From: James [mailto:jyork@memphisequipment.com] Sent: Thursday, December 15, 2005 1:45 PM To: 'info' Subject: RE: M35 transfer case REB kit I'm sorry Jason we no longer have the m 35 reb...
