The M34 (and M135) used different wheels which have less offset. You can, however, use the hub flip and M35 wheel.

I bought some silicone sheet off of ebay and cut my own using an original gasket as a pattern. Doesn't leak and is reusable.

My REO and GMC engines use the self locking bolts for the main caps, flywheel bolts, etc. The only obvious thing that I can see in common is the head construction. A cursory search on google yielded a patent for locking fasteners using differing coefficient of thermal expansion to prevent...

Not true. Extreme pressure lubricants are mentioned in my early fifties era REO civilian manual so they were available when these axles were built. It also mentions greasing front and rear wheel bearings.

According to TM 9-8022, loaded fuel consumption at 35 to 50 mph is 7 to 5 mpg.

My bobbed deuce with the ~900lb gas engine weighs right at 8klbs. About the same as a full size pickup.

Pyrethrin also works as a repellant. I have one of the timed sprayers in my workshop to keep them out; maybe put one of them in the cab?

If the problem is exceeding the PIV of the bridge rectifier, why not replace it with a higher voltage one?

I found it cheaper to leave the coverage as is and add a blanket liability policy.

The M37 ignition is a bit different than the M35 but I still believe that the case of the coil will dissipate more heat than the two vent tubes. I just don't think that you will get that much airflow through the tiny vent tubes. I don't know who is supplying Charle's ignition module but it...

The coil is cooled by convection and radiation from it's case; not by the vent lines. A drawback of the vent lines is that they can allow oil mist inside of the distributor which is detrimental to point life. NAPA has a pipe thread breather which can be screwed into the distributor. This is...

I've done a couple of different things. I do not like the military disty with sealed wires. Fine for it's intended purpose but lacking in serviceability and performance (IMHO). I initially modified a military distributor for the pertronix but later installed it into my brother's 602. I know...

The old adage of not towing in overdrive comes from weak planetary overdrives. The multifuel deuce transmission does not use a planetary overdrive. It uses the same type of gearset as the lower gears.

Nice truck! The 302 GMC's valves ride directly on the cast iron head; no hardened seats. My 302 in a 1/2 ton pickup had leaking valves after ~25k miles. My understanding is that these engines were expected to have the head off several times in the life of the engine.

Most truck/ industrial engines use an SAE bolt pattern for the starter. Its when you get down to the car/ pickups where everyone has to be different.

This carb was used on a LOT of other vehicles. If you do a search on google, you will find several vehicle cross references which you can take to your local auto parts store. Or, you can purchase from one of the several online carburetor specialty shops. Several years ago, I got a quote of...

Interesting analysis of Brown's gas and other pseudoscience. Read them carefully until you understand what he is saying. http://www.tinaja.com/glib/muse120.pdf http://www.tinaja.com/glib/bashpseu.pdf http://www.tinaja.com/glib/muse151.pdf Some of my favorite excerpts: The usual causes of...

The stock coil is not 24V; it is actually a 6V. In fact, when automakers moved to 12V systems, most retained the 6V coil but added a ballast resistor to keep the point current within limits. The primary resistance is all that you need to be concerned with.

A standard ignition coil will fit in the military ignition. The stock is 1.5 ohms primary; use a replacement that has at least that. I haven't had good luck with NOS gaskets; they are all dried out and leak. The new one from NAPA was too long. I suggest contacting Olson's Gaskets and get a...

OK, to simplify things I'll spare the details and just recommend what I think is the easiest way to get the pertonix in your stock disty. When I installed the pertronix in my brother's R6602, he special ordered the pertronix with the 24V option. I'll find out the details, get some pictures...
