    M37 - Wiring harness and where it goes...

    Ditto what VT said I had the same problem when I rewired my 1954,M-37 , the early M-37's ( 1951-2) had the supression filter mounted on the firewall ( later 37's had them mounted in the dist base). Other then adding a extension everything else should be the same. Tell your friend that while he's...

    Mep-003a air flow ouestion

    As you can see in pic,the a.s.k. puts alot of restriction on the exhaust/cooling airflow( obviously to no ill affect), so as mentioned a good unrestricted/ducted intake (cool air) along with a good exhaust escape and you should be covered

    Early M37 wiring diagram?

    Early m-37's (1951-54) did not come with turn signals.If you have a 51-52 year M-37 its possible you still have the old 2 plug light switch,If this is so then it has nothing to do with turn signals, it was just a different type wiring system the mil used and did away with for the single plug...

    Deuce alternator replacement

    :ditto: Also just a FYI ( incase you don't already know ) you can adjust the voltage by removing that little threaded hex plug there in the bottom of your picture and insert a small straight blade and turn the screw underneath to increase or decrease voltage

    sustained top speed

    52mph /2200-2300rpm going from Tactical trucks place in Virginia to So.Fla ( 995miles) with a 8000lb purification body mounted, got 10mpg. To me that seemed to be the sweet spot with the engine/drivetrain. The great part about going 52mph down the highway is you don't have to worry about traffic...
