No need to be self conscious guys, just because it isn't a show truck doesn't mean it's ineligible! To prove that I'll nominate two and a half ton Tilly the wonder Jeep, an absolute workhorse of rusty green iron. Who's going to run with her?
After a day of dodging raindrops, sorting wires, and reading, I found a post from 2014 that suggests the hack job seen here is mostly correct, with the exception of wire 1 being hooked to nothing and burnt to a crisp. I am going to repair it and connect it along with wire 15 (battery voltage) to...
Exterior box section: 16 1/2"
Interior box section: 14"
I have an A2, not an A2C, so no slats/drop sides, and mine came without bows or cover, but I hope this helps some.
Edit: my data plate has a height clearance of 13 feet 2 inches, I'm assuming that's the cargo cover height, hopefully...
I went back and found where you listed the part number for the pump, 32gph, 4.5-9 psi, 1/8"x27 npt fittings. Is that correct?
This one? https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/BK_6101034
If it is I think your guess is correct and it's not supplying nearly enough fuel to keep that thirsty girl fed...
Putting it back together and I noticed the lead from the fuse to the pump on the distribution block inside the top cap is loose, the copper rivet and the fuse holder spin together with miniscule pressure applied, but I noticed there's a "stop block" on the distribution block, is it designed to...
Awesome! I can imagine it's a bittersweet feeling for you watching the movie.
I talked to my wife this morning and she's on board to make the cover, she dabbles in miniatures so it's right up her alley. When you get the dimensions let me know and we'll set it up along with what color you want...
I'm most excited for this. The M35 is what got me in to MVs, it's my first MV, it will forever be my favorite wheeled MV. If you want/need pics for reference, I'll gladly volunteer whatever you may need, can even convert pics to line by line SVG if need be.
Your work is beyond words, thank you...
I don't mean to tell you how to live your life, but please do NOT push yourself with that hernia! I almost lost my mother because she pushed herself while putting the operation off, recovery took months and was an uphill drag on ice!
We'll be praying for you, stay strong and rest up
I don't think it's the pump, I think it's from gaining a sixteenth of an inch in line size. So I guess technically it is the pump, but there's nothing wrong with the unit itself other than it can't supply the volume necessary to keep the truck running.
I could be wrong and it could be...
That's a nice truck, congrats! Welcome aboard, the TM section will have just about everything you need to get it going, and the super knowledgeable owners will fill the gaps the TM's leave. Have fun with it!
That could be the issue right there. If that fuel pump isn't pushing enough volume through the bigger lines, it'll cause it to starve until the pump catches up, which would explain why it immediately fires after stalling; she's not drinking and the pump catches up.
What pump did you use as a...
We're not licked yet. When you pulled the carburetor apart, is there any chance you put the gaskets on in reverse order? I once bought a "non running" boat with a Chevy 350 in it, carb was "rebuilt", but the gaskets were put in backwards ( throttle body gasket on intake, intake gasket on...
