    It is possible to install the later style shift cover on the early style transmission. A few small modifications must be made to the shifter though. Reason for doing this is the later style cover provides better shifting.

    The Chrysler 265 & The M37

    The CDN trucks also have a hood that is slightly different so the safety catch latches properly. The rod bolts for the 265 has a very unique flattened head because of the small rotational clearance and are very scarce. I have a 265 that has been balanced with split exhaust and an Edmonds...

    M37 Hesitation

    You are correct the piston works against a spring. When you hit the throttle there is a sudden drop in vacuum and the spring pushes the piston in the opposite direction and pumps fuel into the carburetor. Figure 03-1 in the M-37 ORD 9 is a good exploded view of the carb.

    Engaging Front Axle

    Have the truck on a slight incline, be in neutral then engage the 4-wheel drive. Truck should roll down incline. If it doesn't it means there is some problem.

    Leaf Spring Bushing R&R

    The front springs also have a bushing in the frame. It's a good idea to change those also if you have the springs off. The spring eye bushings come out rather easy compared to the ones in the frame.

    I was going to use a Fluke meter with a frequency scale to monitor the actual frequency as I vary the engine speed corresponding to between 55 and 65 HZ. While doing so I was going to calibrate the transducer.
