    My "M" won't start

    Its hard to believe, but yes you can install the dist 180 off. We had the same problem - replaced head gasket, rebuilt carb, rebuilt dist, rebuilt fuel pump.... started right up and was running good. Took the dist off to install electronics, removed the RF filter, re-installed and would not...

    Looking for a MI 101 Trailer

    Being in the Dee, keep looking at M101s at the GL in PA - too far. Looking for a parade queen for local shows to carrying the VFW gang around in. I keep looking at Wright-Pat auctions but only see M105s. Any around the area? Keith

    carb rebuilding

    Hey Mark - I could not find the article as well. Gave up on trying to do the carb overhaul with my son. We sent ours to Jim Wallace - you would not believe the job he did!! We have been staring at it for a few days afraid to get it dirty.

    Checking Transmission Oil/Fluid Level

    Is 80/90 weight correct for use in the trans and diffs? I bought marine grade that comes with a little screw on pump for the lower outboard motor. Now I have to "weight" until spring so the oil will thin out.

    Second Gear in US m37's and variants US models Not Synchro'd

    OK - something is wrong here. You guys went ga..ga over the tran/engine. I got stuck on how nice Larry built the wood buck to move it around and it was probably in body position when it was on the casters. Yikes....

    Manifold Flap Stuck- that ani't all....

    RE: Manifold Flap Stuck- that ani Bolts are a great idea - would it be ok to use the tapped head ones? The ones with the threaded hole for the attachment of the oil filter (2), and vent lines (2)? For some odd reason I have a total of 6 of these all in the wrong locations which led us to know...

    Fresh Meat

    You'd think tires would be easy. The local guys here wanted $160-$178.40 per tire+tax (I paid $160), tubes ran $14-$21.95, (I paid $25), go to expenses were $20 in tolls, $70 in fuel ($9 per at my end). The unknown was shipping because overland trucks can't come to residential areas here...

    Survey! Northern Michigan event??

    Just getting into this - saw a handful of MPVA gigs here in Clarkston/Rochester/etc.... doesn't the mitt end at Bay City?? My son is in high school with some activities but we could probably make a trek - would a camo net thrown over an Envoy get us in the gate?

    Fresh Meat

    Hi Dave & thanks. My son and I looked at your truck in Midland in the summer. Very nice & complete. We had to take ours to bare metal and you can tell other "work". I recently bought 10 Denmans w/flaps/tubes in OH. Let me know if you need a set. I make trips to Kalifornia-mazoo which...

    Manifold Flap Stuck- that ani't all....

    Here we go.... picked the head up from the machine shop surfaced and baked clean-they even buffed the s/plugs. Here's my checklist for comments: 1. Head - will prime and paint original silver with hi temp engine paint. 2. Intake - will have baked clean and paint as well - no powder coat...

    Powder Coat Q?

    It seemed like they were fast to want my money and I recalled that it was a polyester which has a short life under temp. I'll track down Jet Hot. Aside what Lane has to say about you guys, I am starting to like it here.

    Powder Coat Q?

    Had the head surfaced and baked. Guy said to have the exh manifold powder coated. Does it hold up? Worth $70? Should I stick with silver since my engine is silver? Oh, the guy also recommended baking the int & exh to clean them? Good idea? Said to use a wire brush on the valves & piston...

    Just checking in to this site under orders from Lane!! Bought a 1954 M37 as a project vehicle with my 17 year old son. Live north of the Dee in a town called Clarkston (like the singer). Look forward to joining the fray. Keith
