    1955 GAZ 69AM Engine Problem (UAZ 469 Engine)

    Thanks for the information Tony. I did check to see if oil was pumping from the gauge that I have attached to the lower side of the block and I do have oil pumping out of there. I have blown compressed air into the port hole on top of the block and really can't tell. When I turn the engine...

    1955 GAZ 69AM Engine Problem (UAZ 469 Engine)

    K1 starter relay on power distribution board

    Five Pin Relays I see that you have got good replies. Suprman won't steer your wrong. He has helped me a lot. As he said the five pin ones are good and you can find them on the net. I would also make sure all your batteries are well under a load test. I had purchased four brand new...

    Ether Starting Fluid Canister

    UPDATE/FINISHED! I found out the Napa Either Cylinder (#33118) does have the correct threads to fit the M1078. Even though my old empty cylinder screwed off easily the threaded base was not lined up well. I had to actually loosen the lower mounting bracket to allow the base to line up with my...

    Ether Starting Fluid Canister

    Ether Cylinder Threads? That Napa Part #33118 is the ether cylinder I purchased from Napa. It doesn't seem to have the correct threads to screw in unless I'm doing something wrong? Is it possible I have to push down hard to start the threads. It appears that I should have to do that? Dennis

    Ether Starting Fluid Canister

    Ether Canister I know exactly what you are saying but unfortunately it was trash day and I threw the old canister away. I had no idea there would be different threads? I assumed it was going to be same threads and just screw on. Live and Learn! Thanks, Dennis

    Ether Starting Fluid Canister

    Hello, I found that my Ether Canister was empty and purchased a new Ether can through Napa Auto Parts. Does anyone know if the threads are different than the military stock number as I am having trouble screwing it down. Thanks for your help. Dennis

    Assistance with ID of Air Spring

    Hello NDT, Thanks for getting back to me. My left side is leaking and I see that Eastern has the left sides. I would also be interested in purchasing the right side. Like you mention most of the 90s vehicles are probably due. Were there any left where you found the right side. Too bad we...

    Assistance with ID of Air Spring

    Hello, I am looking at your questions on the sleeve style air spring on your M1078 cab. I just purchased an M1078 and having the same problem with one of them leaking. Were you ever able to find just the sleeve air spring instead of purchasing the entire unit? Any help would be appreciated...
