i would like to know if any one can explain to me how the telephone connection works on the AM1780, and which piece of equipment it's designed to use? when would it be used, why, and under what circumstances? how does it function, and how well? which TM should i look for at the meets to learn...
you can also put the 151 in the back of the deuce, like carrying a spare. a friend of mine says when he was an army mechanic, they often transported 151's that way
i got the complete set of seals and gaskets from red river parts in texas. in my case, it made more sense to pull the powerpack and replace every seal and gasket on the trans assembly, as they were all dried out and either seeping or leaking.
i use shell rotella in my A1, as it has sufficient zinc for this engine. new oils are fabricated to benefit vehicles with catalytic converters, which do not like zinc, but the old engines need it. 15W40 is fine for northern california, but there are other weights available if your climate is...
V100's in the nam
i was in HHC MP's in 199th inf, 69-70. we had V's and 151 gun jeeps, as well as a pair of M113's. i gave my pics of V's to dave c, but i used to have a shot of a burned out V in xuan loc, long khanh province. it took an B40 in the wheel well, and there went the gas tank. it...
M151A1 info
once you become accustomed to the quirks of the 151, it's true---you won't want to swap it for other military jeeps. if you haven't got them already, find the manuals. there's a wealth of info in them that will be especially helpful, since your post stated there aren't many 151's...
window regulator clip
this part can still be bought today, and auto glass shops that have been around a while may have a box of them on hand. they were used on lots of chrysler and jeep vehicles for years, and are still sold by cr laurence co, as part #SC3315. get a box and spread them around...
i have weebee webbing seats and could not be happier with the fit and quality. i did have some initial difficulty with a surplus city top and they replaced it.
stand at the right front fender--look at the dist cap--#1 is closest to the valve cover and closest to the front of the vehicle--#2 is immediately to it's left--like so
#2 #1

the pic does not show the air intake pipe extension or the exhaust pipe extension, but the A2 had a fording kit at some point. you have a vinyl top, but no visible side curtains or door assemblies. keep it and get the manuals like emmett said--you'll have a lot of fun with it, once you're...
M151 engine
hercules 71 hp 141.5 cubic inch--when it comes to my 151, i like to say "if it's doing 60 mph, somebody's towing it" yeah, i know some guys have exceeded that speed, but that's not the best platform for flat out, is it?
hi carnac--here goes the info, at least what i have, which isn't much

glass and glass cutters
using a self oiling cutter is the best way, but they do cost a bit more. on the other hand, with proper care they last for years. if you buy a new cutter, get a #2
fletcher if you can, and wear it in a little on scrap--also, never go over a cut--it can ruin the cut and...
