I searched for an eternity last night looking for those! Thanks for the link.

IF you can track down a two pin plug assembly, it can be attached by soldering, not a difficult process other than getting the insert shoved into the housing once it's all finished up.

I'm not seeing what I used at all anymore. So, you may end up having to use a newer single pin cable and snatch up the single to double pin converter.

I just ran across a picture of the newer NATO plug with the two pin adapter for our Jeeps. Now, I've also built a set of jumpers for my 12V setup with a plug I found on ebay. It should be somewhere in the "What have you done to your Jeep" thread, I'll see if I can find rhe post number. And I'll...

Thanks! I guess I learned a little something from factory life lol. Not sure about the horn yet, parts are out there, whether or not I want to pay for them remains to be seen lol. I have a foot controlled push button on my '53 because that horn rod is froze inside the steering tube 🤣 so either...

Snagged a horn, no mounting bracket, so let's make one! Of course I realize after all this that I don't even have a horn rod in the column. 🤦‍♂️

Mocked up my spare tire carrier for the C today. Not once, but twice! I made the upper mounting tab the wrong direction which caused a bit of swearing on my end. But, I prevailed and now it's off to a buddy to laser cut the pattern and have it bent before it comes back to me for assembly and...

So this morning I finally decide to make a mock up of the spare tire carrier. I had a buddy send some pictures of one he has last fall but hadn't got around to even thinking about doing anything with it. Went pretty smooth, my template came together quite nicely, until........I noticed that I'd...

For poops and giggles I had went to the wiki page for the Camp during my initial search, there's nothing really listed unit wise for the 50's, only the WWII era units.

Current listing of stationed units there:

The YS carb is designed to need vacuum to start since there's no true accelerator pump, I had no clue there is an actual start up procedure for the A1 until I ran across it in the manual. Once warm it isn't always necessary, but that doesn't mean it still needs a little help lol. Now this is a...

Is the #1 intake valve opening enough to get the full charge in? Like, is it possibly hanging up or worst case, bad lobe. I can't think of much that would let the other three run rich (sounds like carb needs backed off a little) while one is lean.

It's Timothy Slawson's A1, this pretty example!

Sounds correct to me, in order to get more clockwise rotation, it needs clocked in reverse of that. Each tooth is 30° worth of timing, so unless you're waaaay out, one tooth should be sufficient.

Iowa isn't too much different, we don't have to register as a classic to run year of manufacture though. I just slap the plates on, keep the current plates/registration in the vehicle and I'm golden. I'm still on the lookout for a pair of '52 plates, the set for the '53 I found pretty quickly...

Always a great feeling to get an old mule running again!

So I'm preaching to the choir then! 🤣

Your last sentence, condenser. Swap it out, always heard it's best just to carry an extra one with these old horses, along with a set of points. Mine happened to go out randomly, no hints at all, just stopped running. That's the nice thing about the simplicity of old vehicles, not much to chase...

If you haven't got it installed yet... Gasket, then glass, then locking strip. I tried doing it with the frame laying on a table. Much easier for me at least when it was vertical on the Jeep. Used a lot of Windex and thumb pressure. Let gravity help you, set the glass in the bottom of the...

Only a handful of decals used, can't remember if I picked my set up from DeBellas or Midwest Military. Either of those are gonna be a good choice. As for the engine bay, Google A1 engine bay and select pics, because there's not much in the way of rhyme or reason to how it's done. There is this...
