The above ..er..member? ( though he seems to think he owns the site ) doesn't speak for me
As mentioned check around, I've seen them on E-bay, incase you don't already know the T in R60 T means its a 10 micron filter which is fine for a primary filter but for a secondary ( final ) you might...

Its good to hear from you and to know things are going well for you and family.This site is a hobby not a business so no apologies nessasary if folks don't like it here then there are other ( lesser ) mil veh websites they can go visit ( and stay there )

I would first say check/replace the stat and then while its apart pull the bottom rad hose and take a garden hose and flush the block and radiator out from both directions and see what kind of nastys you get out ( also open block drain back by starter ) from there decide if you need to go...
Before I got my torque mutiplier I would only tighten them up with a budd socket and bar to which if I had a flat on the road I knew I could get them off again to change it
: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 put a mechanical guage my deuce also, 15-20psi at hot idle, 60psi+ at cruise. 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. Theres a remote chance the bypass spring...
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...
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...

Think about it
Do you really think that big metal dist thats attached to a hot block and also has hot air blowing on it from the radiator fan is gonna be kept cool by 2, 3 ft long 1/8" od" lines
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...

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...
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...
