So, any resolution?

So, what's the rest of the story?

Be careful and follow the rules. We don't bounce like we did even 30 years ago. All the best for your recovery!

The replacement harness is a chunk of change. Not having a 50+ year old wiring harness will make ownership of your M37 much less pain. I think it is great to have someone reproduce those wiring harnesses.

All in all, the original 230 engine is not bad. It would be a lot less effort and expense to repair what you have. Engine swaps, while attractive in concept end up being money pits. M37s are not the best choice for a daily driver. I've done it but fuel was cheaper 40 years ago.

The way parts quality is today, I would run what you have. That lip doesn't concern me as long as no heat checking or cracks.

That works for me, thank you.

As cool as it gets!

Sounds like a workable plan. Check out ak build rivet setters.

I used straight white vinegar. It can be reused for subsequent cans.

It worked out because you rotate the cans until your arms get really tired. The coating flows and gets into all places, it is thin enough to do it. Coating will also plug small leaks. I highly suggest the vinegar soak to get the rust out.

This might be a good time to check brake adjustments. If you adjust the anchor pins, be sure the punch marks on the pins face outboard, away from each other. Read the TM carefully.

Any further news?

I didn't use all the coating in my tank job. You pour out the excess after coating the insides. This would help stretch how far the coating covers.

KBS coatings worked very well for me. Used it in my BMW motorcycle tank. I suggest pressure washing the inside of the cans first. Follow this up by filling the cans up with vinegar. Allow to set for at least a week. Rinse out then follow the directions for the coating EXACTLY! You will be...

On YouTube there is James Condon who works on generators. He has good testing and troubleshooting information.

I guess you don't have something to tow the truck with.

So, what did you decide to do. Just curious as to the results.

After a long soaking of the piston tops with the penetrating oil of your choice, sometimes pull starting will work. Of course, that brings a new set of difficulties.

The AMC line of 6 cylinders are good engines. Perhaps the fit up will work more easily.
