I was all excited about installing a set over a year ago but I think the project died on the vine. After giving it lits of thought, for a bobbed deuce with oversized tires, I think the ratio that Tom was working with would be too high.

"Use Less Sugar And Stir Like Hell, We Don't Mind The Noise" was a sign that hung in a restaurant in the southwestern town where I was born. It referred to the rationing and therefore use of sugar during the war. Unlike the War on Terror, where only the serving GIs and their family...

It's not what you have to pay for 'em it's what you have to spend on 'em. M37s were made to keep up with the troops not traffic. The problem with the high-speed 489 gearing is it saps the power out of the little 230 engine. Before all is said and done figure $2,000.00 to install 489s. Yes, I...

I want one :drool:

Napa Part Nrs: Dist Cap = AL 106 Condenser = AL 869 Rotor = AL 107 Points = CS 719A If the truck has a standard M37 motor the oil pump should have been changed when the military distributor was replaced with a civilian distributor. The milirary style oil pump has an offset notch that receives...

TenTires wrote: I meant is as "In my humble opinion"

Maybe the guys that are "falling in line" are doing so because they have been around the block enough times to know from practical experience when something is right or wrong. There are things that you may "believe" and there are things that you "know" You may "believe" something to be so...

Will a dyno run on reindeer droppings? :confused:

Neighbors! What are neighbors?

As Ronald Reagan would say, "Here we go again!" My FDC is bypassed and my deuce will run on everything from gasoline to motor oil to reindeer droppings! --- No problem. I think I'm going to put an FDC on my television so I can run it on propane. I've always wanted a propane TV. :roll...

What's wrong with Air Force Blue?

This is a big of a long shot but does the engine have the original head on it? The stock M37 head is flat across the front vertical plane (edge or end). The heads on civilian engines have a bump of protrusion on the front of the head. This is to allow for an integral water pump bypass. The...

This is an interesting/informative post. What I think I'm hearing is that if you religiously use a good quality float charger from the get-go a Solargizer isn't needed. What if the batteries were two or three years old when you start using a float charger? I've been using a Chargetek 500...

One area to look out for is the number of teeth on the starter pinion. I "think" the 230 starter has 11 teeth where the 251 has 12 teeth. I could be mistaken. I'm told the 230 and 251 flywheels can be swapped. Just something to be cautions about.

Kyle, You’re right in as much as you’ve written but the story goes back a little farther in history. My folks were also coal minors. Those were hard times by anyones standard. Also, with a name like McGrogan there is a possibility that three or four of our generations may have spent time...

No I don't think I've ever heard the term "redneck" used up here in Northern St. Louis county. I guess I just too far removed from the main stream. If they did I wouldn't worry about it.

May I please have some Bio-Diesel my popcorn
