I don't know if the electronic regulator is adjustable, but the old contact style is adjustable. How long does the voltage at the batteries hang around 27/28 volts? This is 13.5 to 14 volts per battery and what might be expected just after the engine starts running. After a few minutes, the...

This kind of S**t makes a guy really angry. I went to the farm this morning to help Ghostdriver on her day off. We discovered the shop refrigerator had been cleaned out (again). No beer, no sodas, no cold water. Then we discovered someone had slashed a perfect near new canvas on one of our...

More photos of Ghostdriver transfering parts over to her rebuilt engine.

A quick comment about the vent/cooling lines. Since the system is under water, the distributor is sealed from ambient and depends on the vent/cooling lines attached to the carb air horn. The major purpose of the lines is to sweep the air across the points plates and around the coil. Fresh air as...

Zak's photos are interesting. I have never seen the extra resistor button before. I checked the ORD number on the coil and it comes up as a coil for a Jeep 715. I know the Dodge M37/M43 distributors are very similar and I suppose the coils will interchange. In fact I think the only real...

At 4am it is hard to be really clear. What I was saying was that the TM makes a caution about keeping the motor mount holes aligned while setting the engine in place. The TM calls for using drifts in all 4 mountings to keep the engine aligned while removing the hoist. ~~~ My practice is to use a...

We have not encountered the worn timing cover on any of the M43/M37 engines we have pulled so far, but I have seen an already pulled engine that had that wear. I have some concern with Ghostdriver's engine install as the new front motor mount already has some separation. When we purchased it, it...

Awesome!!!!!!

Not much help in my quarter as I have never had my hands on one of those.

Does it have a master battery switch?

Zout's build went so fast (and well done to boot) that I think it was hard for everyone to keep up with his progress. I blinked and he had the add on windows gone so you would never know they were there.

Zout, Your paint and body work just makes me envious!!

Zout, We might understand your Cripple Creek thing. We have been known to play the "Wolf of Wolf Creek Pass" on the stereo while driving the pass. My father was born in Wiggins, a town mentioned in CW McCall's Wolf Creek Pass. Wolf of Wolf Creek Pass was a ditty written by Pete Smyth who was a...

We have a few more pictures to post, but I left the camera in the shop. Post pictures later. GD is short staffed in her business at the moment. She is pressed finding time to twist some wrenches or she would be farther along right now. As to Zouts question about the batteries. GD's M43 is...

Zout, Do you have the dimensions for the two little one's over the windshield with "Ambulance" between them??

If Zout needs some dimensions for the crosses, we have a second parts M43 with faded crosses that can be measured.

We have an 8v92 in our Newell pusher motor home. It will climb the Rockies in a hurry. Old technology though. Newer, smaller. 4 cycles can produce as much power and with a little better efficiency. Still, we have not found a motor home that can climb Floyd Hill as fast as we can. It's the 325...
