If you are reading 900F post turbo, I would not mess with the fuel setting. Depending on who you believe, the difference between pre and post turbo temps can be 150F-300F or more. If you are already at 900F post turbo, you are already close to 1100F-1200F pre turbo. That is about as hot as you...

The last boot I got from Saturn did have rivets, an earlier one from Saturn did not. maybe they have changed suppliers. In any event when replacing an axle boot on a Deuce, THE INNER CLAMP BOLT MUST BE INSTALLED AT THE TOP OF THE KNUCKLE! If you install the clamp bolt toward the front as shown...

There have been several threads on this topic. Apparently the most frequent problem is the bottom plate falls off. The thread Joel mentioned how to reassemble the lower end of the pump. If your problem is simply that the bottom of the pump fell apart, the fix is pretty easy. If the problem is...

Re: RE: Blackout driving light Maybe in 1942 the brake lights still worked in conjunction with the brake lights, but I believe on more recent vehicles the drive, tail lamp and brakes lamps do NOT work when the light switch is set to the B/O position. I agree with emmando22; we used to call...

OPCOM - PLEASE tell us where we can get those split Deuce master cylinders!!!! They are an option for the Deuce, there is an article in the TM section, http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?module=pagesetter&type=file&func=get&tid=1&fid=file&pid=85, which details how to convert the Deuce to a...

Frank's Surplus has a good assortment of individual Packard connectors parts for anyone needing to replace or add any wiring. Pretty reasonable for 10 complete male and female parts sets. I have no connection with Frank, other than being a satisfied customer...

I did the same as AH1955, got a couple of 3-1/2" ID x 3-1/2" OD elbows and a 3-1/2" ID x 3-1/2 ID connector and a fistfull of clamps and replaced the bottom of my J pipe. It was an economically feasible project until I realized I needed the second elbow because the elbow section of pipe coming...

Any one ever try the Harbor Freight "1/2" SUPER-TORQUE LUG WRENCH"? it is only 1/2" drive but 1/2" to 3/4' adapters are cheap. It seems to have some sort of geared head which HF claims "multiples torque three to five times to break loose even the most stubborn lug nuts". Only $19.99, $16.97 to...

Correct as usual Kenny. Right there in FM5-36, Appendix C-3, Wheeled Vehicles, Truck Cargo M35A2, empty Class 6, fully loaded cross country class 8, fully loaded highway class 11.

The NAPA and Baldwin spin on adapters are made for a Detroit Diesel, have a 1-1/2" thread and will not fit the multifuel oil filter base without a considerable amount of machining, if they would work at all. SOME Oliver-White tractors used the LDT465 engine with spin on filters. I suspect...

Sounds pretty good, you can still hear the turbo but the exhaust sounds considerably muted. Do you have any dB meter readings to measure the actual sound pressure levels with the muffler installed? Judging from the sound of the cab door slamming shut vs the exhaust sound, it seems pretty quiet...

Check your fittings - both the kit on my truck and the spare OEM kit I have are both 7/8" thread, the same size as a propane cylinder. If in doubt, see if a propane cylinder will screw into the solenoid, if so it is 7/8" thread. Not that a propane cylinder will work, the auto ignition...

Depends on where you live. The entire COUNTY where I live has a total population of about 11,000 people, the biggest "city" in our county has a population of 2400 people. The nearest "Big City" is in the next county over, about 25 miles away,population of about 18,000. At least they have a...

George, VTCSM37, has some Packard connectors listed on Epay if anyone is interested. They are not mine, I have no connection with George other than being VERY satisfied with several purchases I have made from him...

Screw NAPA, they are too expensive. Check out your smaller parts shops. Quick Start is the most known name, my spare cylinder is labeled "KAT'S engine starting fluid", I got it from the local Parts Plus store for $24 and some change.

I can't say for sure where it was originally pointed. I had to pull the intake elbow (removing the atomizer in the process) to remove my turbo in order to drill and tap the exhaust manifold for a pyrometer probe. At the time I did not know there was an arrow on the atomizer so I did not pay any...

Well worth the price, if I could find any locally. I'm spending $135/month for storage units to store the the accumulated junk I don't have room for in my new place.

How much are you expecting to pay for a conex? I could use a couple of 40 footers for storage, but I can't seem to find them out my way.

You DON"T want to do that! That it way too much ether. While commonly called an ether start kit, it is more correctly an ether ASSIST start kit. The engine does not actually start on the ether. The start kit only injects 4-6 CCs of ether over a six second interval, while you are cranking the...

1. My ether kit was installed by the military, and yes it is mounted a little too high. The rear brace running across the hood mashes into the top of the ether cylinder. 2. According to the set of instructions I have with a spare OEM kit I managed to obtain, "the arrow on the ether jet must...
