I started to take the fenders and bed off for painting and it got me to wondering, where do you buy the odd-headed 3/8-24 fender bolts? Also , what grade are they? Who has the best and complete carb kit?

Jay,
If you want to improve on the action of the wipers, you can add a vacuum can. On the M-37, the vacuum comes from the manifold thru the double stage fuel-vac pump to the wipers. If you are missing the fuel pump or running an electric pump the vacuum will vary depending on throttle position...
If they only go to one side and stop, they are gummed up inside. A hint that I got off the Bronco forum was that in the 50's and 60's, they would dunk the motor in kerosene and pull it thru using the vacuum. Take off the front cover. Under it is the vacuum switching valve. The valve has two rods...
I need to rebuild the ETW1 carb on my 1952. Someone said to get an article on rebuilding and govenor adjust from Alan Bowes site. He has taken the site down. Can someone re-post it? Thanks.

Hi All!
After a short stay in the hospital and 4 weeks of e-bay and reading, I got an all clear on my prostate cancer at the age of 52. Now to put on all the parts I bought. Which leads me to this question. Since both headlights are burned out and I'm re-wiring a signal-stat 900 to a new set of...
Hi Everyone. After 35 years of looking for a M-37, I found one in Charlotte ,MI that came from the group Jeff Branch Motor Sales sold in the late 1960's. I was 12 years old and my parents bought one for my brother to use to skid logs. He taught me to drive and I learned most things about auto's...
