Its 40 lousy horsepower. Why would the LDT not be able to get there or further?

The stock LDS was tuned by adjusting the fuel rate to achieve 10.8 psi at 2400 rpm. This is easily achieved on the LDT by turning up the pump. Doesn't this indicate that you have achieved LDS power?

You will get far more with the turbo.

The oil pickup is right above the drain plug so there probably isn't enough room for this method. But, it sounds like most pans are soft enough to bend back to shape.

I've got a spare running engine which was dropped on the pan pushing the drain plug upward. What are the odds that I can remove the pan and push out the dent from the inside without cracking the pan or bung weld?

You can adapt the electical connector from the $50 pump to your old wire. Transfer the metal ring around rubber damper from the old pump to the new and it drops right in.

If you look closely at the mil documentation, that hexagonal version is used on the OLD multifuels with the solenoid valves. I got the correct one from White Owl and it does not leak.

The one that I got from White Owl is a good one.

Comments: Given that you have the civilian distributor, you can easily convert to Pertronix electronic ignition.

Look in the hardware section of your hardware or home improvement store. It will be in the little pull out drawers.

Get a new 12V coil and two ballast resistors.

With few exception, there is no such thing as a 6, 12, or 24V coil. When GM went from 6 to 12V, they just addded a ballast resistor to keep the current within limits. I have measured numerous reo and gmc coils and each measured identical to every old old 6 or 12V coil that I could find. The...

If air flow with the smaller filter is really a problem, it should trip the air filter indicator. If it does not, the air filter is fine.

4000 hours is still respectable for a tractor of that era using oils of that era.

8000 hours is about double what has been reported on the internet: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/73830-oliver-2150-multifuel-4.html but most of the trouble in the tractors seems to be related to leaking fuel injectors. The multifuel has a 22:1 compression ratio whereas the tractor is...

This would assume zero wheel slip and no clutch slippage. Doesn't the clutch slip and gradually lock up?

I bought a new one from White Owl; problem fixed.
