You Guys are great! :-D, I checked the fuel filters and got fuel trough them( although I will need to get gaskets(probably filters as well) Cracked the fitting at the inlet side of the IP and got fuel. Tightened a couple of fittings where they were leaking, let the pump run and tried to start...
Thanks, I will start with fuel. I know the pumps are working, (at least somewhat) because I get fuel from the first filter. It has a bad gasket and leaks around the base.No white smoke from the exhaust.I did not get fuel from the second filter or the screen when I opened the drain. Do I need to...

I can tell you with the panel lights off,and the headlights on lowbeam the indicator glows dimly. On highbeams it is very bright. Once they are dimmed it is dim but very apparent at night.
It glows as long as the headlights are on. I believe it will stay on when the panel lamps are lit also. It just didn't seem right to be on all the time.
Hey, Guys,
I just changed the headlight on my 5 ton, and I didn't notice before but now when the headlights are on high beam I have the red indicator light. When I dim them the red light does not go out but glows very dimly. Is this normal? I didn't notice it before. And if not what is going...

Thanks for the fast response, and please forgive my lack of knowledge:oops:. I was wondering what is the unit ident code and is there a way to break it down or research it? Thanks again

Yes, I am familiar with Gillespie, I used it on my Halftrack, WC52, and GPW. I never asked if they had anything for the later stuff as I was always painting WW2 vehicles. Isn't the Viet Nam stuff sort of a semi gloss? Thanks again for the help.
