    M813 Alternator conversion

    Last weekend I changed out the prestolite 65 amp alternator for a 65 amp single wire Delco 27si. I would have prefered to keep original but for the price of the regulator I got the new delco. Delco overhaul kits are only around $30 so for longevity and ease of getting repair parts I went that...

    Went to Ft Meade yesterday and picked up a 1979 M813 w/w. Was curious as how much trouble it would be since Ive read lots of complaints. But i have to say I dont have a single complaint.

    Painting bolts

    Anybody have any ideas on best way to paint bolts/other fasteners? We've started painting our M35 and was thinking of different ways to paint the bolts.
