    Too much fuel in engine - a lesson learned

    I been working to get this m37 running. We had been able to get good sputter with ether and manual fuel to the intake. We discovered a "hidden" electric fuel pump near the tank. After getting that running, the fuel still won't pump from the tank. We rigged up an outboard boat fuel tank to the...

    Im considering this, but if i do, will i be ridiculed and ostracized from rallys :^)

    I have a '54 M37, i want to actually use it some. I really dont want to risk tearing up the bed or having to even worry about it. In other trucks and 4x4's i've put bedliner in the beds (and often the cabs too, but not for this). If i put bed liner in the bed like line-x or rhino (actually...

    New Members Truck (m37) and some general questions

    A "down" shot to the battery compartment would be great now... Im focusing on getting it running and safe to drive, it will look like H3(( but i'll drive it. I certainly dont need the batteries sloshing around in there. Now its just an empty box with nothing but batteries..

    New Members Truck (m37) and some general questions

    so there is a filter IN the fuel tank, or one near it? it seems odd to put a common service item in a hard to reach place. I did go over there, i didnt see anything that showed what i was looking for. I'll probably need to link up with some m37 owners in Alabama here and get a first hand...
