Nice work. I'm in the final stages of installing Vintage Air in my M1028 rebuild. Just a heads-up - The kit comes with a length of 2" flexible hose for the defroster vent ports and 2-1/2" flexible hose for the cab vents ports. The VA instructions indicate to cut the 2-1/2" hose to certain...

I really find it hard to believe that it hasn't been done already.

If I was a machinist, I would design & produce a replacement triangle-shaped plate for the side access of the DB2 pumps with a sealed, spring-loaded plunge device with the internal end being a hex key to facilitate turning the fuel up/down externally. The external shape of the spring-loaded...

Yep. I'll do what I can. Only been on this project since 2010. It might be a little while before I can post photos of the beam pattern.

I had to do it. Just now purchased a pair on Amazon. I'll have to admit, this CUCV sickness is very debilitating. Thanks for the replies.

Finished installing the main parts of the Supercharger. The intercooler is an ambient pressure closed coolant system. The switch-operated 24v pump will mount on the driver's side inner fender and circulate 9.7 gallons-per-minute of 50/50 Prestone through the heat exchanger in the intake and...

Now that I have the intercooler as far as I can take it until the inner fenders go back on, I have turned my attention to finishing up the minor things on the engine. I had to remove the supercharger in order to install the rear air inlet housing to the blower. The housing is attached to the...

Today I'm working on the intercooler system for the Supercharger. I mounted a Hayden #1268 intercooler in the only place in the grille it could be mounted. The #1268 is the only intercooler I could find which incorporated 3/4" piping throughout to accommodate the 3/4" I.D. hoses from the...

Got the intercooler mounted and partially plumbed. I used a Hayden #1268 with a BTU cooling capacity of 31,200.

Just reach out to John at Hillbilly Wizard and get an authentic CUCV OEM accelerator cable. Hillbilly Wizard Home Page Or on Ebay. I just looked and there is one on there. Search "CUCV Accelerator Cable". Hope this helps.

The third digit of that area code is 8.

You can take a small die grinder and remove the outer lip of the spinning rivnuts and then simply push it inwards to expose the hole. Then just install a new Rivnut in the same hole. So easy a Cave Man can do it.

Most everyone here on SS freely shares information for the purpose of assisting other SS members, as evidenced by the five responses to your original question. Yeah, there are a few freeloaders, but it seems all forums have those folks lurking in the shadows. If you have the expertise to...

Because I removed the OEM resistor bank on the firewall to prevent a cascading glow plug failure event.

No disrespect meant to the OP, but there's no doubt in my mind the issue is caused by a defective pump. Your original 2829 pump is worn out and the seals in your 36-year-old "NOS" 1989 pump are dried-out and shot. Nobody wants to spend several hundred dollars for a pump rebuild, and will dance...

Here is a fresh photo of my relay. I had previously removed the glow plug resistor and can't remember if that procedure required any of the wires to be moved. Hope this helps.

The Supercharger intake is an aluminum casting that bolts to the rear of the blower and turns towards the fresh air opening in the core support on the passenger side. I'm using an inline air filter which attaches to the casting, and a flexible duct from the air filter to the fresh air opening...

Got all the ancillary systems completed on the driver's side of the new drivetrain prior to re-installing the inner & outer fenders next week.
