    Well I don't think there is a difference bit I have read that the Hercules is mote desirable over the White and continental but who knows. If it whistles it's a c turbo. My D whistles a little now buy nothing like a c turbo does.

    I think I'm going to turn it up a bit more yet. I don't have many hills around and I don't mind "driving" the truck around the bumped up fuel. From all the research I've done it sounds like 1200 to 1250 for about 20 seconds is ok and 1300 being the absolute max.

    What's this hose????

    I've been searching tm's for the past hour and I cannot figure out what this hose is for. It comes off a pretty hefty elbow in the front of the block and runs into the firewall. I have a cut in the outer casing and want to replace it but it has a special fitting crimped on the end out at the...

    Oh and dot air line ferrules will not work on the deuce compression fittings that's why I had to go to lowes to get regular ones. I like my gauge setup, I still have to run the power wires for illumination but that will be easy. I don't care for some of the gauges that are two in one and the...

    LT. Dan M35a2 Modification Thread

    Today was a good day was almost 55° out today and I got a lot done. All new fuel filters and the old ones weren't that bad. Then I bypassed the fdc and ran new return lines from the injectors and completely removed all fuel lines to the flame heater. To do that you need 2-1/8 npt pipe plugs and...
