one wire to the solenoid has power all the time. it comes through the circuit breaker on the firewall above the steering. the other wire is grounded by the horn button
i have always used truck air brake line. it is the same size, it is nylon on the inside, but it is uv proof and reinforced with filiments to stand air brake pressures so fuel press is no problem. get the brass inserts at most good hardware stores and use the nylon looking ferrules or use brass...
dennis the problem so far is that the gears are very obsolete, by more than 40 years, so none are availbale. i am talking to a gear company about making some but they are very slow in giving me a price. just a gut feeling it would cost near $1000 to upgrade a trans. first you need the two gears...
the new headlight switch was NOT speced to be esd proof. since the mil forgot to call for that they built them with off the shelf parts that are static sensitive. once they are installed there is no static issue but i don't think anything electrical on any vehicle would survive emp, you are...
this is sort of a continuation of the gear math subject. today i finished installing the .71 od gears. i am very pleased with the difference. the shift from 4th to 5th is almost the same rpm change as the 3rd to 4th shift, not the puny change we have been used to. and with 14.5r20 (same as...
got trans back in on tuesday, have to put rear seal in on wed morn and put in oil, i am going to use 30wt non detergent motor oil since there is an issue with 2nd gear lubing itself. i also made 3 recesses in the rear hub end of 2nd like most of the other gears have to help oil get into bushing...
the D turbo (i think that is the quiet one) makes more boost, but you can only put so much fuel to it. fuel = hp but also heat. i don't see how you can really get that much more power. i have mine turned up to what i think must be 200 hp. it is not afraid of most of the hills around here but is...
i can tell you from experiance, you have to remove the front motor bolts and move the motor up and over more than it will want to go, a lot more than 1/4". you really have to force things to gain enough clearance. and this is if you take the box apart in the truck and put it back togeather in...
sermis, new rocker panels are available, contact memphin and ask, they have them made up and i have a set i could use for a pattern if many people need them
ok, finally after waiting what seems like forever, i have what is probably the last civ mainshaft .71 gear in the world. remember they last used this trans in 1965. so i have made spacers required to put civ gear in mil trans ( civ gear is .065 thinner ) and am waiting for ups on monday to bring...
i thought the horn would work in any position, but i could be wrong. the circuit breaker on the firewall above the steering column is for the horn and heater if installed
as far as starting it that is exactly what mine did when the ip wore out. the starter could not turn it fast enough to start but starting fluid got it turning at 800 - 900 rpm and the worn plunger could make enough pressure to trip injectors. i rebuilt the ip head and runs perfect, but never...
