Piglet pooked Pink ! Who says you can't put lipstick on a pig. I was fighting the rubber connectors and knew at some point they'd need to come apart. All I had was lip moistener and it worked like a charm. This fuel pump/ pressure set up worked great. Allowed me to dial up the fuel pressure...

Somebody was looking for 6602 manuals and I can't find that thread. I know it was a -35 manual but not sure we have the correct numbers. We found a bunch of manuals in a truck cab at a wrecker so maybe we got lucky. Continental manuals preserved.

Where is that data? It's not on the data-plate. I thought the info would be here but 1-14 on page 1-8 only tells us ground clearance between 9.8" and 10.7". TM 9-2320-289-20 We'll bump this and look through -10 to see if we can find 22° and 30° somewhere in the manual...

With the rear box of the 1010 all 24 volt, heater, lights, fan etc, feeding 24v to the back using a 12 to 24 convertor might be easy enough after you change the alts to 12v. Any way you do it, once a family closes the back door to catch some sleep, the 1010 is the best bed ever. Using the...

"Parasitic Drain" and "Electrical Gremlins" are decent search terms I recall for the 1010. The bundle of wires through the fire-wall was something to check. My electrical problems were mostly solved when my 1010 jumped me so all I have is landscape advice. That is some beautiful landscape around...

Let's talk pump, regulator and gauge. What are the latest and best valued parts to deliver fuel to our 302's @ 3-5 p.s.i. ? I always prefer seeing Made in the U.S.A. on a product but the Performance-World parts showed up at the local Hot-Rod shop so I'm giving them a try. The catalogue is...

Hey you're new here, welcome aboard. What the heck is wrong with Service New Brunswick? Within North America: 1-888-762-8600 (no charge dial). I was on hold for 15 minutes. Maybe Alberta is still working for the people because we take the number off the frame into the 'private' DMV branch...

See there we go.....a description. Thank you. This is the answer to the question "How are we going to keep the engine from over revving when 18 year old kids are driving"...... . I can chase the holley manual now if it turns out we need to trouble-shoot more. Awesome. The guys that thought of...

I'm not a mechanic. Could someone dare explain the purpose of the two vacuum lines that run into the side of the distributor? Use small words so I'll understand. They are D and E coming to and fro at different locations on the carb and distributor. I'm anticipating instead of assuming one sucks...

This might be another contact to make to salvage a Hall Scott. https://www.hall-scottengines.com/ Not sure how current this is but let us know what you find out. It sure looks like there's a decent Hall-Scott fan club market out there.

I swear I saw a Hall Scott museum but can't find it right now. Maybe it was part of the Pacific truck gang I talked to a decade ago that needed Hall Scott but I still see some enthusiasts around. Getting the word out there about an engine could be started here...

Great pics. It looks so complete and clean. Can't help but notice the flag symbol of my Country, upside down......suiting. Part of the family lived in Albany back in the day with Bob Christiansen making drugs as a chemist. I think only cousin John is left there so say hi if you see him. Albany...

Great save! I did a little 'Images" search on the Unimog 404 and found a toy replica. https://www.reynaulds.com/products/Roco/4104.aspx Very handy having a shell on the back and there's just something cool about the Mog.

Do it. Take video but twist and shout while you still got it. I appreciate the kind words, thank you. It's hard work being entertaining and informative with lots of .....backspace....backspace....going on. Not many pictures today but you would have heard some poetry watching me with a...

Piglet the deuce has hives.......that's hilarious. That's also motivating because if the truck is lonely, I can do something about it. Your description on hive location is spot on, even for our Maple sucking black hornets who took residence in the seat, behind the ledge. I jumped in an M207...

Ya know that fuel pump buzz noise heard when the on switch is flipped in the deuce................bzzzzzzzzzzz. This hive is old and just a good reminder to check for critters this spring when opening stuff. Had a great warm day throwing the batteries in, hearing the starter hummmm the 302...

Pops showed us a method for fiberglass where you lay wax paper over the top of wet resin and it leaves a perfectly smooth surface. Popular Science gave him all kinds of ideas. Fiberglass can be a pain but stick some wax paper over the top and a fella can play with it. We used chunks of lumber on...

It's so interesting to take these to car shows. You never know what movie scenes a person can re-create. Even just showing the civilians what our youngsters had for military gear back in the 50's surprises a lot of people. Keep the photos coming. We scrounged another pile of take-outs if you...

Best question of the season......Get out in the prairies, away from curbs, go fast and practice stopping / steering on ice. I was not happy when the computer took over control of my need to drift around every corner or manage suspension compression going into a corner. Once you get the feel of...

That's not a 1010... I'd say that's better than a 1010. You bump your head when you stand up in a 1010 so maybe that one is a little taller inside. Dual wheel, maybe a little under powered with 150hp but slow and steady...........This is a 1010
