Good man

Might have been a bit overkill, but 1/2 and 3/8 stainless round cap allens.

The housing is the first ( primary ) fuel filter. The filter is shorter than the housing so it can be used as a water separator. There is a spring inside to position the filter properly. All the NAPA filters ( that i purchased ) came with multiple size gaskets. Take your time, I had a hell of a...

I checked the older threads. Got all the filters at NAPA.

Clean it out. If you have any major suspicion, there are brake line detergents. Blow out the lines, flush with detergent ( i flush until I run out of detergent ). Blow out again, then power bleed. Good luck. Cheers

Was the existing fluid the same color you poured in? Purple like the silicone DOT5, or clear/ yellow for DOT3. Hopefully you can tell if you crack a bleeder. Cheers

I am a bit surprised at the difference in experiences across different states. Congrats on the painless process. Cheers

Very cool acquisition! Keep the mis-match paint! Shows character. A lot of the pieces looks nicely original and usable / re-storable.

The A2 is easier to find civilian spares / parts for. A1 can be pretty dedicated for mil ride height and wheels.

I try to hold hope for my fellow man. Local parts supplier made note in their system about vehicle fitment. I'd purchased non-traditional spark plugs, I was cautious enough to compare with the removed part and check clearance. Would have made contact ( destructive ) with the piston. Showed them...

Make sure to get decent tools. I've had times where I 'got by' with cheap tool i thought i would only use one time. But having a good tool, for a project that can easily go sideways, helps everything go smooth. ....And i never use the tool for "just this one job".......it always gets used again...

Having driven both, when they both are running PROPERLY ( a big IF, lol ) the turbo would get up to speed sooner. At times it 'felt' like it would handle a trailer and load with more confidence. BOTH handle a world better than the straight 6 gas job ( ours was a 52 automatic ). I am a big fan...

became a supporter 2 weeks ago after lurker for YEARS. lol

BUMPING this thread. Curious for an update. I'm in western NY, did have some issues with the registration, but certainly not what you went though. I happened to bring a VIN scratch, bill of sale, transferable registration ( from another state ). The insurance information was the easy part.

When my Deuce was on the road, I went through Progressive. I registered as farm vehicle, NOT historic. I had to get DOT numbers though. I did not feel insurance was too bad ( $1000/ yr increase with $225K LL ). But I was limited to a distance (25 miles) from site, and a few other rules. Don't...

Just BUMPING this thread. Curious if all is still good. Does MI have you get DOT numbers when you try to register? Here in NY, the insurance is the easy part. Cheers

I believe they use ATF Dexron VI ( type 4 ). In applications using Dexron III ( type 3 ), the type 4 is backwards compatible. Meaning if you have several vehicles using Type 3 AND Type 4, you can buy Type 4 and use in ALL the vehicles. The Dexron VI is about $10 more for 5 quarts. Not a bad...

Greetings for Western NY

Thank you Sue. I've never used a Cleco style fastener, did not recognize them. Thank you For the pictures and direction. It is appreciated.

Can relate, not a comfortable spot. Put in there a few times as a kid. lol
