    Fuel system drawing a vacuum

    Ok, I'm pulling my hair out. Just did tons of work to correct this issue, yet it still occurs I can let the truck idle and it dies after about 5 min. I can drive it and it dies after .25 miles.

    Douglas to packard change over time frame?

    Does anyone happen to know when the packard connectors were introduced? My 1954 M37 has 99% Douglas but the ignition switch is packard. They seem to be factory, and doubtful the military did it, as the history I have is it was transferred to civil defense in 1961. But for other reasons I am...

    Bella reborn, aka XM109A9

    Well, now that the GA rally is over, and I have a wrecker that at least will pick stuff up, I am going to start on my m109 build.
