    Thermostat By-Pass Concerns

    I believe it is nessasary otherwise the coolant flow will deadhead and cause the pump to cavitate. I got my stats from NAPA: THM 55 ( 160o ) or THM 155 (180o) they worked/looked just like the original ones., unfortunatly I don't have any # for a 195o.

    Vietnam era Huey..what's it worth?

    A friend of mine bought one a few years back ( B model) if I remember right he paid around $5000.00 for it and put it pretty much back together ( no mechanicals) for a nice static display. He sold it about 4 years ago and got somewhere around $20,000.00+ for it.They are to cool., I got to tow...

    Multifuel Engine life - the facts from Uncle Sam

    Being the 427 seemed to have the same faliure rate as the 465 leads me to think it was more then just a engine design problem ( ie bad driving and maintinence ). I also remember reading a article here that somewhere around 1969-70 the manafacturers ( after getting data such as the above) changed...

    Fuel polishing

    CT Yes there is centrifical filters that will do fuel in fact any true centrifical filter/pump will do any type of liquid its just a matter of changing out the disc in the housing to match the appropriate viscosity. Alfa laval had a nice system but it weighed around 300lbs and cost around...

    Fuel polishing

    Both Dahl and Racor "Turbine" filters work best on a vacumn ( suction) setup. The Racor spin on series will work on either pressure or vacumn.

    Fuel polishing

    The Dahl or also Racor ( Dahl designed them both ) are excellent filters but a bit over kill for just hard paticulate filtration. As already mentioned (and done ), go with a spin on filter. I'm putting a wix spin on filter head (24770) in place of my primary cartridge filter and it will have a...

    Fuel polishing

    You guys can vacumn/strip alot of garbage off the bottom of your (truck) fuel tank by investing in one of these and a 3' lengh of flexable (Quest) 3/8" plastic pipe...

    Fuel polishing

    Pretty much what road said My competition was dockside filter rigs like pictured. My setup was a 2000gal tank truck which I used to pump all the fuel out and then flush the garbage out of the now empty tank, using wands to snake through the limber holes in the baffles, flushing the tank at 28...

    goo in fuel tank???

    That doesn't look like any type of bio mass that I've ever seen. I'll go with Richard and say it was some type of failed coating. Feel around the top inside of the tank as I have seen just the tops of tanks coated which helped against rust forming up there from condensation. After about 3+ years...

    The Skinny on 24087

    The original color of the m-37 ( 1951-54 ) was the The late WWII semi-gloss, though no one seems to have reproduced it ito a correct match. I shot my 37 with Gillispie 24087 and used a synthetic hardner which made it a little more glossy. I also did my first deuce the same way

    Fuel filters

    Moallen First off the stock filter system is more than adequate to filter fuel though I myself will change out the (small) primary cartridge filter to a 12micron spinon Wix filter just for ease of changing and larger surface filtration. I assume your primary filter will be a 30 micron and then...

    m37 front hubs

    Duelmatic hubs (below) don't look anything like selectros. Duelmatics haven't been made in years so finding a good used set is rare which is a shame because they have a nice military look about them. I use to want a set for my old 37
