and if that doesn't work I'll contact "White Owl", which actually I have to check my email, I sent them a request for ignition parts a while back...either I missed it or they never replied

Napa doesn't carry anymore( also nearest store is 2+ hrs away now), Autozone can't get any part numbers to cross reference(typical), and I don't like using NOS gaskets, they tend to weep rather fast, which is one of the reasons I haven't called any of the surplus dealers. at this point I have...

well, got pan clean. pulled the Oil filter, housing and lines, cleaned that up good. gooped up the pan with Ultra Black, keeping it heavy in the half circles, fought it to get it up and bolted. got it all up and bolted, started looking at it, and realized I could never get a proper seal at the...

Got the pan all clean, can't find a gasket so I will just have to use some gasket maker, not ideal, but what else can one do? I also picked up two 5-gals of 80W90 GL5/MT-1 so I can do all the other fluids. $116! kind of expensive, but I guess it ain't half bad got a little discount through my...

well, I put the carb on, tested to make sure it didn't flood(primed till bowl filled, then cranked engine, without ignition), didn't flood bowl, so I proceeded to drain the oil... took two pans to catch oil from front and back, as the oil level rose a half inch above full mark, so wanted to...

well I feel like an idiotaua, so I was searching all the manuals I had, web etc. and all I had to do was look at the dash plates. still not use to the Military data plates giving all the good info right there

Oh, how much oil does this truck take? I can't seem to find a definitive answer, but I found one random site where they said 8 quarts. is that about right??

well, its NOT the pump, but it is the carburetor I had pulled the pump, primed it so fuel came out the outlet, then quickly pulled it apart, top of diaphragm was dry, bottom wet, and I couldn't see any oil residue either, so at least I didn't mess that up. I thought the smoke was more blue...

well, I put the fuel pump back on, grabbed a 5 gallon jerry, and ran a line with filter to pump. Fired her up, but runs awful, lots of smoke, thought maybe a little oil left in the cylinders so I left her at a high idle for maybe 10 minutes, didn't get any better, and it also had a very short...

Rebuilt the fuel pump, couple before pics, during and a final assembled one. I used the kit by Then and Now Auto, part number FPA-182. It is a really good quality kit, small issue when I first received, didn't have the oil seal, but one phone call, and it arrived the next day. all I can say is...

Well, another thing is to move the clutch to the shifter, leave the brake and throttle down below... I now some race cars did this, course hydraulic clutches are easier on the hand. I think driving wise, having the clutch operated with the shifter is much better then trying with the throttle...

can you clarify why he does not want an A3? is it because it is an auto? the biggest hurtle will be power steering, last guy I talked to, also a paraplegic, had a 1970 Chevelle, all done up. he had no control over both his legs, so he had to have an automatic. hand and brake controls were in a...

the stud/little round thing the cable goes through, should rotate freely, so the cable is always pulled straight. if not you should be able to just loosen the lock-nut so it does as to a seal I think something like this would work, parking brake cables are all relatively the same size

Cool, nice to have machines like that. on the cable which end is supposed to attach to the handle? I haven't looked too close at mine, but I am trying to get it out to free up. would be cool if mine is grease-able too I will say, trying to unscrew the brake side is a bear, especially when the...

yeah, figured that out, two letters are not used, I and O, for confusion with 1 and 0. I thought about that, and will probably try to do that, but I am thinking it just may be some random one that some guy put on to impersonate the US Army, I mean it was definitely originally a USAF truck, but...

I was actually going to use a jerry can and just run a hose to it from the pump. I'm cleaning the pump now, actually looks usable, just need to see if I can find/make an oil seal. there was a lot of white goo in it, and some of the parts are a little rusty, but a little scotch brite pad and it...

So you can fill the bowl, you just need to pull the whole horn off, and put it back on. anyways, first try not so much a go, had no spark, so pulled apart the distributor, new points I bought were wrong, so cleaned everything best I could and threw it all back together. Short Video(because a...

So I somehow managed to figure out that the Air pressure gauge is supposed to be mechanical, not electric, so that was where my missing power wire went. so I stole the one from the fuel level to get by, as my tank is out due to it being unable to hold fluid. and I did figure out that it is a...

So I started sanding the hood, found some numbers, 4CI620, and US ARMY, twice on passenger side as shown I will be trying some stripper later to see if I can get to the yellow numbers, but further sanding revealed vary little, I think they were very worn or previously sanded before the green was...

all right, so I am loading these two pics, first is the Volt Meter, with the wire attached, labeled #12 second is the two unknown wires, I did find this http://olive-drab.com/od_mseries_circuits.php and so I guess I have #9 and #8, NOT #6, do those Two, or one connect to the Volt meter...
