    Convoy Light Covers

    You should be! Water is the biggest enemy of beacons. I would let the sun have at them before I ever coverd them up to hold moisture and condensation. The only reason to cover them up is if they were an illegal color (red/blue non leo or emergency vehicle. Polish the lenses 2x a year with a good...

    Help Deuce won't run anymore

    A deuce going backward down a hill with no brakes, the engine off, the clutch pushed and transfer case and transmission in neutral should break the sound barrier provided the hill is high enough with many twisty and hair pin turns. Oh wait that woud be your bowels (sorry). The deuce would only...

    Steel belted tires came from the minning industry not racing. The minning industry needed tougher tires for their wheeled equiptment. Steel belted radial tires did not finaly make it to racing until the 80's. The Arab oil embargo was just the excuse the politicians needed to lower the national...

    To run an s10 type of system you would have to all crank position sensor, cam sensor, knock sensor, ambient air temp sensor. water temp sensor, map sensor and possibly mass air flow sensor depending on year. Also you would end up having a custom computer made and programed and the time to sort...

    rotating safety light

    You will probably have to buy the whole rotator assembly. Years ago when I serviced the light bars for a local P.D. I could not get anyone to sell me just gears. Things may have changed by now but I doubt it with as cheap as they make things nowadays they are designed to just be thrown away. try...

    Storage / Parking

    Need info on Army spec. MARS Skybolt beacon

    Your best bet would be to contact Mars directly. They were bought out by Trippe Light in the late 70's or early 80's. They were moved out of Chicago I think they are down south somewhere. Look on the interweb under train warning lights (what they specialized in). Mars candy bars used to be part...

    Help Deuce won't run anymore

    Have you tried to clean the soot out of the exhaust system? My sister's brother had a 2 cycle motorcycle that the muffler plugged up on when he ran too much oil in the gas one time back in the 70's. He cleaned the ehaust and baffles with some stuff a neighbor gave him. Maybe you could get a...

    Fuel Injection for the 230?

    You will have to look around but I believe there may be kits that could be adapted to work with your engine (Holly projection?). It will be a lot of work to adapt something to that engine and then to make it run right. Those engines by the design standards of today are mechanicly noisy which...

    GL & HUMMVe

    Hndrsonj, With all due respect I got my information in 1988 when I was up at the GM Tech Center in Hinsdale Ill. from a AM General engineer I happened to have lunch with. AM G watched the lessons with the jeeps and was determined not to do what jeep did. You can not sell a new $50,000 vehicle...

    GL & HUMMVe

    If Uncle Suggar sold the HMMWV's to the public then AM General (later Hummer) would have never been able to sell them to the general public because the market would be flooded with them. AM learned this lesson from Willys and Kiaser with the jeep. Had the jeeps never been surplussed out more new...
