If all goes well ill be picking up a spare t-case this weekend so we can have a peek into the guts of the machine.

Outstanding ,thank you...tools +knowledge= power

Thats nice work.. can you post some pics and info on the tools you used to set the bands in the transmission? It never matters what it is..but is always looks better with a fresh coat of green.

I agree with you Nattieleather..the GM dual servo brake system was a great setup. I am considering a couple of options. 1. A hydromax conversion that retains the stock pedal and does away with the air assist. 2. An air over hydraulic system that uses a dual circuit full air foot valve. ill be...

For situations where the rings have stuck to the cylinders from humidity..and/or the red fuzz has grown in the cylinders..i have used with great sucess in the past a product called "safest rust remover" take the plugs out..fill up the cylinders..put the plugs back in..wait 24 hours..remove...

Haha..roger that ..im not concerned about the parking brake bracket..as long as the upper and idler shafts/gears are in ok shape ill have something to work with.. My thoughts so far are facing some material off the rear of the input shaft sliding gear and/or moving the pto drive gear rearward...

Excellent..thank you. I appreciate you asking around. Cheers!

Ok so i guess the next step in this thread is asking if there is anyone in western Canada or the pacific north west that has a spare transfer case they'd be willing to sell me so we can move the dissection to the bench? My wife is pretty near as awesome as they come..but itll be divorce court...

Yep..after a little wire brushing it is a 3..mystery solved..thanks Phil. Now we know this year/applications distributor hold down configuration.

Ill check the number in the morning..and i totally forgot about the Canadian Poncho..thats encouraging. Thanks Phil.

Hi Phil..i havnt had time to crack open my block and head guide yet but i remember reading that the 261 blocks only came in truck applications and as such never had the cast in mount bosses on the side of the block..where i read it and how reliable that is i dont know..but my block has the...

Just found this..its for the M715 autolite distributor and 24 volt..so we have a winner i think. PerTronix MV-161A Ignitor Autolite 6 cyl 24 Volt Negative Ground The number on the hall switch is 09AD-24VN so we will need to order the 1167 or 1168 with this part.

I found this on a .pdf downloaded from the pertronix website. 1941-53 6 216, 235, 261 cid engine 36, 55, 56, 57 Delco 1167 1954-62 6 216, 235, 261 cid engine 36, 55, 56, 57 Delco 1168 36,55,56,57 are footnotes.. 1167 and 1168 are the ignitor kit numbers.. 1167 would be non vac adv. 1168 would...

Maybe someone could post the delco/remy number for our 135/211 djstributors. The tag off my 235 is gone ill check into the '54's distributor number.chevy 3800 2wd 3/4 ton. 235 six If phil could post his numbers for comparison/addition to the pile 216/early 235..my stuff is mostly late.

I remember seeing a diagram somewhere that the military sparkplugs were serviceable..as in they could be dissassembled. If that is the case, as long as your porcelin's are ok the sky is the limit. Just cant remember if it was a military plug or an old flathead ford plug..i will dig. Loctite...

Distributor donor..possibly Here are some pics of the first donor civillian setup. Its in a 1957 chevy school bus chassis..could be 235 or 261..im not sure at this point.im posting up the numbers, maybe CMP Phil will have the data..i will look in my old block and head guide as well. This...

Thanks Phil. I have the 1961 supplement but not the 1960 manual.. after looking through your link i think i may have a 261 in my bus chassis..it has the full flow oil filter that hangs off the manifold. I will have to look closer at it and see.

This is awesome..i wish i could shake this guys hand for the write up. Its 12 volts but does what we need. For the cost involved its worth adding a circuit to run it. http://devestechnet.com/Home/HEIgnition

These guys make a similar hall effect setup in 24 volt. I've emailed them to see if they have a kit for the 235 chevy distributor. http://www.simonbbc.com/ Edit: no 24 volt from these guys

Here is the under the cap conversion kit i used in my M37 because i had a civvy distributor i ended up doing a hybrid 12v charging/running/lighting-24v starting starting as the military clutch/flywheel/ring gear were different and i had to retain them. So had to also keep the 24v starter. Or...
