New ignition switch install was easy, new wires are thicker gauge. Working well.

Thanks very much for that. Once I'm in there, I need to see why the steering shaft isn't grounding and maybe run a jumper so I can have a working horn.

I think I have the same issue. Would the replacement of the ignition switch help? Is it difficult to change out?

Got the reverse lights working but not the horn. No evidence of a horn relay in M880 wiring diagrams but parts store lists one for a 77 W200.

Thanks. Yes, I fixed the 16V overcharging issue. It was dropping volts from the harness behind the firewall. I couldn't find the problem so I added a relay so the voltage regulator sees 12.4 volts and now it's charging around 14V. I've read it could be losing volts because of resistance through...

Thanks for the info. Been working on a couple of things. Back up/reverse lights don't work. New bulbs, sockets look fine. Neutral safety switch works: only will start in P or N. How to test? Also, horn works but has been by-passed via button on dash. I pulled the cover off the steering wheel...

mine's not dodge blue. looks more like ford blue. will have to do something about that.

Not bad. Can never have enough torque in a truck. Is that light blue the color my 318 should be?

Most likely. I'll live with it. Works fine. Wonder if it's hard on the factory voltage regulator?

****, that looks great. What are the HP/torque specs for that 360?

Looks simple enough. I'll start looking. Your motor looks great. I that a 4bbl intake manifold I see?

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.... But I think a stock 60amp alternator would be better unless they already upgraded the wiring. I'm not sure. 200amps is really overkill. I have zero accessories. If I do go stock, I'll have to find all the proper brackets first. Thames burst it's banks. A...

200amp, definitely not a bolt on. Bracket fabricated. Why so big? No idea.

I wish I was in the UK too. I lived in Oxfordshire for a year, loved it. Miss the old pubs. My BBD carb was rebuilt, the throttle, fast idle and choke linkage all seem to need alignment. Once warm, runs super but a new one would even better.

Agreed. I'm struggling with getting the fast idle cam to work when the choke is on. Lot's of fiddling in the cold but getting there. Oil pressure sender next to replace.

I thought that Willy's WWII Jeep looked great. Remember, perfect is the enemy of good.

I can see a new episode of "Wheeler Dealers" taking on an M880. Call Mike and Ed!

Thanks. Now just need to find the time to get my list done. Got inspection sticker today. That was the top of the list.

Will do. Thanks. England? Where do you get parts and how do you afford the petrol? Was your truck from a UK airbase?

It's massive, modified to fit on passenger side. No idea why. Pics to follow.
