"Also would like to put a snorkel and little taller exhaust pipe on." FWIW I can tell you from experience with the M37 and fording that you do not want to keep the snorkel on full time. They're made to be taken off and only used when needed. I know people that try to leave the snorkle on...

That should work but even a non WP distributor should work unless flooded with water. You might want to try sealing around all the spark plug wires and terminals with silicon grease. The Fording system on a M38A1 is a LOT more than a snorkel and taller exhaust pipe! It vents the crankcase...

There are lots of pictures in the .MIL manual and the "Early CJ5" website has some GOOD photographs and if you need more just ask they will deliver. I got lucky with my 1953 M38A1 in that everything was still there except for the check valve on the side of the engine. Even the hose clamps are...

If you convert back to WP distributor you will have to add at least part of the ventilation system since the WP distributor requires some air flow through it to prevent the build up of ionized air which can cause electrical arcing inside of the distributor. You really only need to connect a...

I believe that the Navy also used them in some of their their heavy aircraft such as PBYs. Apparently they also used some onboard ships since I have seen pictures of a massive 60Hz power supply that the Navy used with this radio. The Marines also had some and used them in several different...

I went to a little hamfest yesterday and picked up a BC-348Q Receiver. :grin: I also talked to a ham there that said that he had a T-47 Transmitter that he MIGHT be willing to part with. I went and looked at it and it's a beauty! US Navy model made (I THINK) in 1955. It has the original...

I picked one up as part of a package in order to get a radio (BC_348) that I wanted. This is 12V model (according to label on it) with contract date of 1942. Very good condition outside and is supposed to be all original and operating. Seller claimed that he last used it about a year ago. I...

Not me. Must be Dodge maIn.

What years and what position? I was RADAR tech on them from early 1973 till late 1975. Did most of our flying in SEA over Tonlé Sap in Cambodia but I went all over the world with them including to Florida to guard Pres Nixon when he came down here on vacation. Used to hear some hairy stories...

"I appears that the solid paste dries out when the electrolyte level is to low and the paste becomes exposed to air." Ahh. That's good to know! But I think you must mean Lead Dioxide since Sulphur Dioxide is a gas!

Isn't there a thread about junk yards? Can he list the yard (not the vehicle) there?

Any idea why the plates disintegrated? It might be informative to take a similar dead battery and cut it apart and look closely at the plates and see if they have fine cracks in them even before pulse charging. That might help too determine if it's problem with the battery construction or if the...

Nice! When are you going to bring it down here to the middle or Florida so that we can critique* it? * That's just a fancy way of saying go over it and find fault with it :-)

EVERYTHING (without wings!) is slower than what he's used to driving! He'll fit right in with the UCF students around here!

Hi and welcome from,,, wait for it! Oviedo! Yeap, been here since 1983!

Non-recessed head lights, no slave cable port, small gas cap and glove box on RH side all give it away as a CJ. But it looks like it's in very good condition for it's age and definitely NOT a waste of time. It even has the original wheels! If it's cheap you should grab it and clean it up a bit...

I posted this on another thread but here's my take on today's show: You missed a good show. In addition to the usual suspects, several new members of Steel Soldiers came out and a total of twelve vehicles turned up and there were a LOT of old veterans out there that came over...

You missed a good show. In addition to the usual suspects, several new members of Steel Soldiers came out and a total of twelve vehicles turned up and there were a LOT of old veterans out there that came over to look and tell their stories. The military collectibles show wasn't huge but the...

Yeah I hit three places today and got some good stuff and the list doesn't include all the non-mil items that I got. But my azz is dragging tonight! One of the items that I left off of the list was a metal box of 100 radio crystals. It's marked "Navy Type 10527 box containing Type 40163...
