    Both my cars run LT1 against 460LE. Is not that the same and/or better than 700R? There is PDF attached. If you see just a black boxes just click on it and it will work.

    Back in the shop

    On 1951 Chevrolet and up we just used to spray bottle some misty fuel into the carburetor. Spray and it drinks and atomizes, stop spray and she out of fuel. sounds a little dangerous but if she doesn't backfire it runs. Air fuel spark works good.

    Safety Wire Hub to Drum Bolts

    I found no safety wire on any of the six drums on the 1969 M35A2. I would have seen it if it was there, used to wire as part of the job, jet engines. Or did I entirely miss what the thread is about?

    deuce airpack/master cylinder rebuild

    I state that if you want the brakes to last, all parts of them, then they must be exercised. That is easy to do by supplying air backwards thru a glad hand and operate the brakes repeatedly for a couple of whiles once in a while. Can't hurt. The fluid sits in the bottom of the wheel cylinders...

    M35a2 Deuce won't Start

    Is the Plastic Battery Box 12368318 6160013780683 the same for the 5 Ton 2-1/2 Ton trucks? Perhaps ask in the parts wanted section for metal or plastic battery box? Do they slide the same? First get a box to put batteries in. While you await funding and parts do all the work to get all...

    Firewall grommets

    When spare pieces of hose just won't do, one has to buy stuff. Actually, one should really climb in there and see all the places the wires are chafing and fix all that, sheets of rubber, double wrap with tape not so good, protect those wires. There is very few harness left to buy.

    Ldt 465-1c rebuilt injection pump no pressure out of hh

    Once one breaks into the system the hydro lock on fluid is gone. Just put a gauge at the secondary filters where that infernal bleed valve exists, Switch to ON and watch the pressure build. The system is self pressurizing but will not move fuel without the in-tank pump putting out. Putting the...

    Problems running WVO on the multifuel engine

    I never had a problem running 90% New motor oil, but I can't even imagine what was in all those new 2014 to 20018 motor oils. I suggest you add some motor oil and put a really good, and I mean at the source of the fuel really good, filter on your fuel system. Most of what you speak of is above 7...
