    1952 M35 Gasser repair and build

    well, my dad had a guy looking through boxes of thermostats for a match, but through another 2 hours of searching on my part I found a few part numbers to give so they can get me one. I tested the old thermostat, put it in a tin can stuck the thermostat in and a thermometer, heated it up, well...

    1952 M35 Gasser repair and build

    so haven't done much, drove it to work a few times, need to add the 12 volt converter so I can get the dash cam to work more then 15 minutes. anyways, I did the oil pan gasket(PITA) hopefully it is fine-might have over-torqued the front bolts. I also tackled the valve cover gasket, figure a...

    1952 M35 Gasser repair and build

    Does anyone know if the m35 and m715 seat covers, drivers bottom half, are the same? I have been staring at mine, and thinking it's a little thread bare, plus all the cushion material has found its way out to the bottom of the storage bin

    M35 GAS Motor wiring

    Yup, just unscrew, pull the rubber bushing back(I put some dielectric grease on the wires before, bushing slid nice and smooth), then the cups are right there. I would take sometime and use an old connecter(if possible) and figure how much solder is needed to fill the cup when soldering in a...

    1952 M35 Gasser repair and build

    Drove her into work yesterday, drove alright, been getting more power, I think the rings had to free up, only had 90lbs oil free, jumped up to 110lbs with oil on compression when we initially tested, I keep getting into 4th when shooting for second, but she does alright, even on a slight hill...

    GM tailgate reproduction parts Beware

    I kind of went through this with the '85 GMC (non-CUCV) I picked up. Tailgate was not rusty but nearly bent in two, and very flimsy, well I scored a deal on a very nice used one, what a difference, the used one weighed almost twice as much, and didn't sound tinny like the one that came with the...

    Brake fluid leak, fix now or fix later?

    In the same thread, also I think(check the third page, near the bottom) but it was 180 something? Iris Industries, this is also for 4 gallons, plenty for the deuce plus extra, it would be okay to maybe get 1 gallon, 2 to be safe, but price/gallon will go down the more gallons you get(to a point...

    Brake fluid leak, fix now or fix later?

    just a heads up, Peashooter had mentioned he would no longer be doing the hoses. Supplier issues. but any brake hose shop should be able to do it, keep in mind the fittings are a little odd, so it may take a while to get the correct parts. I would HIGHLY recommend stainless from any reputable...

    Sm465 swap into a M1008

    just get the clutch and pressure plate for a diesel(pre-85) as I think the pressure plate changed slightly for the hydraulic set up and maybe pressure is different between gas and diesel, that should mean if you go to the parts store-"1984 Chevy K20 with 6.2 diesel, SM-465" should get you the...

    1952 M135 W/Winch

    I believe you can run an extra gasket should the Fuel pressure be too high. but I think the needle valve is either dirty or not sealing correctly- I had this problem, ended up polishing up with some very fine sanding cloth, solved the problem. I also did something else...I think I stretched a...

    1952 M35 Gasser repair and build

    well, I was moving tools around, found the original condensor, and just cause I could, I put it in. idles fine, goes down the road fine, I did have some issues with finding the gears, kept slipping into fourth or fifth when trying to get to second or third...and still no video, sometimes the...

    1952 M35 Gasser repair and build

    I don't think so, because when testing, I am supposed to get battery voltage to input capacitor, at resister and both sides of coil. And if I don't then one of those parts is shorting; but so far, have had battery voltage up to negative terminal. I did try two-spare coils, one was bad, the other...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I did follow this test, everything still pointed to condenser...well almost everything I did not test the mFd of all the capacitors and condensers

    1952 M35 Gasser repair and build

    so yeah, just 'nother condenser. I threw in a parts one I picked up(well I picked up a 135/211 distributor, not knowing the application initially) and it started, but literally 5 minutes back to sputtering and missing, no power, had to put it in low and let it idle around the yard to park it...

    1952 M35 Gasser repair and build

    well, got it inspected my dad brought it in to his work(he does inspections and all) said it drove in all right, little low on power when cold-probably rings are a little stuck, did sit for a while. Well he drove it all the way back (25ish miles) got to the end of the road, had to downshift...
