    Rewiring/wiring questions advice

    My hope is to drive this until I either get tired of the flathead, or she bites the dust. Currently no smoke, and I have help leaking at bay. For example, replacement military plug wires will cost nearly $1,000.00. A nice SBC under is just a bit more of that. I considered a hybrid set of wires...

    Rewiring/wiring questions advice

    Within my rig the PO installed a 12v converter. This runs a whole separate circuit for a pair of LED lights in the place of the blackout lights, and trailer lights, stand alone, in the rear for running/brake. Nothing for origional lighting works, and I believe the oem light switch is junk. The...

    Pan gasket, and rear main seal questions.

    I am very OK with that approach. Big question I have is that the photos of several vendors show a set WITHOUT holes. Is there a recommended supplier? Thanks

    Pan gasket, and rear main seal questions.

    My dear 6 cylinder started to really mark it's spot on my garage floor. The pan bolts in one area were at best finger tight, so I addressed that..... The bottom of the flywheel drain/observation plug is missing and that's all "dry". The drip issue comes off the back of the pan adjacent...

    Lifter cover gaskets....questions

    I forged ahead, as I wasn't pressed for time..... With just doing it, I found a few tips on my own: 1.) Working from the bottom is fine for 90% of the work. 2.) The PCV valve fitting isn't really an issue for removal, but it is for installation. I removed the brass fitting in the block to...

    Lifter cover gaskets....questions

    Just received my lifter cover gaskets for replacement of my very tired current installation. Fel-Pro from Vintage Power Wagons. Looking at the work ahead......are there any shared tips going into this. It's not a very technical installation BUT is it worth the trouble to remove the fuel pump...

    Windshield Weather Seal/strip

    Thank you. I was referring to the perimeter seal on the windshield glass frames that tip out. Watching a video of a guy who does resto work......says to pull the top of the frame off and drag the whole thing, molded corners and all, around the perimeter of the pane frame. Not that I feels...

    Windshield Weather Seal/strip

    I am just taking bits and pieces of things I want to replace/repair on my newly acquired M37....... I have looked around at windshield weatherstrip, and it appears simple in design.......but read comments about splitting the metal frame to install it. I thought you could get the old soft and...
