    first M37

    :ditto: But if thats the case than you have the early dash panel ( 1951-54 models ) later B1 models ( 1958-68 ) had a different lights on the panel which were the same type as on the m-35's, so if yours is a 1963 you have the older model panel which is no biggie if your not going for model...

I haven't heard anyone having problem with one here on the forum but have you checked your engine oil pressure regulator valve?, its located on the block next to the starter.

    Help! I'm burning up coils in my M43!!

    If your getting 6ohms means the resister is letting to much voltage to the coil/windings, this has been a ongoing problem with imported coils, if this was me I would ad a external resister to the dist power lead this will give lower voltage to the coil to which it will run cooler. This symtom...

    Long Term Storage Stability of Bio-Blended Diesel B5 B10

    I made a living cleaning non blended diesel fuel on MotorYachts and had great results with Power Service "Diesel Kleen" for stabilizing fuel for long term storage. Diesel ( and gas ) will last indefinitely in a oxygen free enviroment which is why the fuller the tank the longer fuel will keep...

    Help! I'm burning up coils in my M43!!

    YES OF I stated how to check the ohms in a internal resister coil in my previous post. In 14yrs I've only seen one of these with that original setup, I have a e-mail in to a buddy to see if he has a picture of this setup Also you guys, they are VENT lines NOT cooling lines that run from the...

    Help! I'm burning up coils in my M43!!

    OF There is a ballast system and ( as I mentioned ) its internal, early M-series ( 1951-2 ) had a external ballast resister which was stacked under the coil ( early non resister coils were shorter and sat ontop of the wafer type resister in the distributor ) these were superceded by the taller...

    Help! I'm burning up coils in my M43!!

    Miltary coils have internal resisters The ohm resistence on your coil should be between 10-14ohms anything lower will cause shorter coil life ( coil runs hotter ), if you do have low resistence then you can ad a external resister to bring it up ( to check resistance put ohm tester leads across...
