Rubber o ring? Time for a stanadyne FM100 sin on upgrade?

If you want a NOS still in the AC Delco box, I have one.

I switched to ac60g’s and had to change my spade connectors to 1/4”. Also, I don’t know if this is crazy or not but last time I had a glow plug that didn’t want to come out I loosened it all the way, closed the hood,rolled the engine and let her fire out. Lotta compression works good!

This is an update on an issue I finally solved. If you want a j hook wiper blade for your stock and dated bayonet style wiper arm. The upgrade is dorman part number#42631 ( j- hook wiper arm) that is for a 1994 Ford Bronco. As far as I can tell it’s an exact fit. Hope that helps somebody see...

I did the stanadyne spin on filter/base modification, it has a 100watt heater option that screws into one of the 4 outlet ports. I spliced the heater into the wiring for the existing heater in the old base. Winter front is a good idea. Tempro 1000w block heater came in the mail today, that will...

Got a winter front. Spent a lot of time last couple years working maintenance on my company's powerlines between Mancelona and Kalkaska. Good area for deer. I don't see many CUCV'S on the road around here. I drive the **** out of mine. Its Pink. Used to be Red. Turns ALOT of heads!! Thanks for...

Thanks Michigander

Looking into a freeze plug style block heater. I have a 1000watt wolverine oil pan heater that I used to use but eventually stopped using it because of oil leaks. I had a diesel mechanic replace my rear main but leakage continues. So I'm thinking of going with the freeze plug style sounds like a...

Turn the key, fire the glow plugs, voltage guage dips down, final gp cycle just before the guage climbs back to normal I'm getting a strange noise that very briefly sounds like shaking a few coins in a tin can. I'm trying to figure out if replacing the GP controller card is smart. Or if this...

I just replaced my injection pump and injectors which was a well needed task. The few days afterwards I was crazy surprised how much more power I had, and then I started to get worried about the different sound my motor was making. A while before that I had a shop replace my stock exhaust system...

Has anyone sourced a new gen 2 relay? under dash next to starter relay?

With the 60g's did you have to replace your spade terminal ends?

they are narrow 3/16 I believe.

Yes, they were listed as cucv 24v plugs. Unless they lied and their actually just 12v. I cant wrap my head around why they work tho. They cycle for 15-20 seconds on a cold morning so Im not sure if that's typical or not.

So this is my fault for not reading more into the system at the time but 2 years ago is when I changed my glow plugs. I found a place on ebay that was selling them diesel RX brand or something. I got 24v plugs thinking that's what was stock. Now flash forward I'm getting way more into reading...
