So which is worse: A HMMWV that sat since the 80's and every seal is rotten, or one that has been maintained/used and has 30 coats of flaking CARC?

You left out important details: you have LEDs and the turn signals don't work. There are several threads here on getting LEDs to work.

Stop light switch under dash may be misadjusted.

Start sending Gary Hebding (Gary's Half Track Parts) as much money as you can every month. If the main data plate on the dash is gone, the frame will be stamped with M??-serial number so you can figure out what it started life as. It's a White/Diamond T type, not an International.

Someone removed the crane from this and put it on that.

Just to be sure, you are aware that the spark plug voltage is like 15,000 volts, correct?

Speaking of headaches with purchases, are you back Jwade to help us???

The rotor does not have voltage going through it until the dist cap is put back on.

Plate? As in the plate that the points mount to? Why? The terminal that the yellow wire goes to will be energized with the points open and deenergized with them closed. I see a chinese chrome coil, those suck.

What you are describing is as it should be. When the points are closed, the negative side of the coil is connected to ground. Do this: remove all 6 spark plugs, reconnect them to the waterproof wires. Crank the engine and place your finger over the spark plug hole. Verify there is a spark...

Perfect opportunity to drop in a GEP 6.5 NA with 4L80E takeout from Southern Metals.

Somebody put a flat fender radiator in there and whacked off the back of the grille where radiator is supposed to mount. The Jeep parts vendors are going to love you, ask for quantity discounts, I think I see 5K in parts you need for that one. Mine looked almost the same when I got it. It's...

That is a scroll compressor, discharge is on top and suction (low side) is further down on the shell. Trace the small lines that come from the #11 access ports.

Bottom is typically suction on recips and scrolls.

Looks like the year is correct, the Jeep has the hinged grille. Mine is 5/53 which translates to roughly 65 Jeeps per day off the line, sounds right. Good luck with fixing it, needs a good sandblasting.

See if there is a VIN plate behind the drivers or passenger seat (forget which) on the angled surface of the sponson. There should be 4 holes. Only other place you will find it. My '53 is 51130.

Hmm, the bomb symbol is Army Ordnance. K stands for "Kaserne" which means barracks. Looking at the Wikipedia reference on US Army installations in Germany, it might be Kaserne Conn or Coleman, not sure. The US Army had a huge presence in Europe during that era.

To ID the suction (low side) access port, find the compressor. The compressor has a large line and a small line. The large line is the suction. Trace that line back until you find the access port, that is the low side. Oh and "reasonably priced" and "A/C guy" can't be used in the same sentence.

The frame does not look right for a 5 ton. Too many holes and the steering gear does not go through the frame.

The low side is always the suction which is a bigger diameter line than the high side. Borrow a Nitrogen cylinder from an A/C guy, figured you had one in your store, all my A/C service tools come from pawn shops.
