    Replacing M1008 exhaust system

    The manifold positions are the same as on a 350 SBC. I know for sure because I swapped the 350 out of my truck and put in a 6.2 with no mods to the exhaust.

    Is there a way to hook this tach up?

    I searched for HMMWV tach on ebay and came up with an electronic tach driven off the oil pump. Looks like it goes where the vacuum pump would have been. The ad said it was for a 6.5 but it might fit anyway.

    How bad is this flywheel?

    I would probably leave it and focus on the starter. I had a similar issue, it was a late engagement from the starter. It spun up well enough, but the bendix was slow. 12v starter, so autozone was able to test it. It passed but the guy running the test saw the issue. Swapped it out and never...

    The M1008 and the M1028 had 14 bolts front and rear... right?

    Only saw one once, on Xtreme 4x4, they made it custom for a Jeep CJ8 or something.
