Robb, The seals are Federal Mogul and I think they are a double lip seal. The small one is 470954 you will need two of those and the large one is 410308 you will need four of those. I have already thrown away the packaging for the redi sleeves. I had gotten that number from Charles Talbert who...

Well, almost one year after installing 1967 NOS (piece of crap) seals that leaked some on the first drive and pretty much just leaked as bad as the original ones after that.... I just installed new commercial seals. I got the pn from Charles Talbert and can only say that it is the first time...

Bill, I got a used Alternator from Paramore in FL for 130.00 shipped. Got the adapter Kit for 25.00 and it works good. I just wanted to keep the mod as origianl as I could so opted for the kit, as you say not really necessary. Some of it you don't use and the cable is awfully long and had to...

Thanks for the reply Bill and good to hear from you. I have been to and fro in the last year or so since I got out of the Marines. Moved to MD and back again and now looking for a job...... sorta nerve wracking. lol. Don't you have to do something with the wires that come off of the regulator...

I am looking for information to do the M35 alternator conversion. Can anyone give me some guidance and source for the parts I will need? Thanks, Mark Ellis

I had to buy a truck for a set of front bumper and rear fixtures...... I looked into having them made and believe it or not, buying this truck was easier.... and sold the truck. Mark

Cabell, That's impressive. I have been driving my truck a bit more this summer and have driven it to work for seveal weeks when I first got here in Md. I am not sure what my gas mileaged is but it is pretty bad. Still for the relatively short drive, it is just fun to do. When I got my truck in...

Just thought I would throw my two cents to further confuse anyone reading this. I do and have driven my M37 with a stock 230 at 55mph for about an hour at a time.... many, many times. I have stock running gear, sta lug tires and the electronic ignition mod. Disc brakes too. I have no problems...

Hey Andy, Yes... I have. I got to the end of my Marine career and just couldnt' find the job in the area that I needed to stay afloat. Timing is everything. In a few years or so I plan to be back in the area. We kept our house and are renting up here... dang expensive but I got a pretty good...

Mark, I won't go against anything Cabell says but I think most people would refer to them as the Old NP420 and the Newer NP420. At least that was what I ran into when I rebuilt mine several years ago. His descriptions are right on. Mark

Carmen, I would check a few things. Choke adjustment proper,Timing, Compression, Fuel flow, Weak spark, points set properly, Length and condition of fuel pickup tube in tank in relationship to how much fuel is in the tank at what angles of elevation. Carb to intake gasket leaking. Yes I think...

Chuck, That is it!! Thanks for your help in tracking this down. Yours shows it on the door, mine was on the bumper but that is it for sure. Thanks again, Mark

Chuck, Could you clarify please? Are you saying that the emblems you describe were used on tactical vehicles only? From what I can tell what you describe isn't what I am pretty sure is the standard markings for the Marine Divisions. I know those may have been modified for use on vehicles but I...

I am trying to determine what some bumper markings I found during the sanding process on my donor Marine bumper mean. I looked at Cabell's site and there was some information on there that may help but it was a little sketchy. The marking on the front passenger side is a gold diamond on it's...
