    I wouldnt bother swapping out the auto hubs unless they give you trouble. I used to have them, and loved them. I didnt run into problems with them until I started plowing.... They dont like all the forward/reverse action. They unlock/relock every time you change direction.

    Unless you do heavy off-roading, i wouldnt worry too much about the 'weak points' Chevy to this day still uses the 241 transfer case, even in the 1 tons (I believe). The 10 bolt axles work decent for on-road... when you have bigger tires and play in 4x4 is when they really show signs of...

    Turn Signals

    I am pretty sure all CUCV turn signals work with the key off. Your indicators could be shot....

    Probably not on the timing light.... But.... if you have a piece of copper core plug wire, you can rig something up pretty easy. wrap the copper wire on the spring of the military wire, and shove the other end in the spark plug.

    Jason, I know on Farmall tractors.... you set the crank to the timing mark, rotate the mag all the way one way, then turn it back the other until it trips... and lock it down. I am not sure how the TM states to do it, but if I recall, it calls for tools you probably dont have.

    Dead Alternator HELP

    Keep me posted... only reason I got the new one, is because my pass side has arced through the case somehow on the output stud... so all the internals are still good, just a bum case. We can put my new one in, and use parts out of the old one to fix yours if need be.

    Dead Alternator HELP

    Your fastest bet would be to find a local alternator/starter rebuild shop. They should have the parts in stock to fix it for you. Second, you could have Mike @ ODIron overnight you one. You wont get it until tuesday though. If you are in a MAJOR pinch, come on down, I have a brand new one I...

    Right. The other end of this wire goes through the switch to ground. When the generator is turned off, it grounds the condenser using this wire.

    on the 'spark' plug rofl Hook a plug up to a wire, and have it connected to the mag.

    I had one that the condenser must not have been getting a good ground. Make sure everything is clean. I think the coil and condenser wire should both be hooked to the same part of the points, but I dont recall for sure.
