    I wanna go fast up hills!!!

    Amd Polverone, yeah, most of the Alcan is paved now. The Canadians take their highway maint very seriously. The trucks and equipt you see them using to patch a section of road would squish a duece without noticing. And I wonder if the old NAPCO Chevy I found abandoned along a trail near...

    I wanna go fast up hills!!!

    Thanx Lee. Again, let me state I have no fantasy about zippin' along in a Duece! Like the bumber sticker says - "I may be slow, but I'm ahead of you!" I just wonder sometimes if 20-25mph is an average speed up a 12% grade at 2000rpm for a 68 M35 or if there is something I should be addressing...

    I wanna go fast up hills!!!

    Guess ya didn't drive the Taylor much while you were here. But that's a rare trip for the Deuce. Mostly where I go with it is in the White Mountains off the Steese towards Circle. Not bad hills (in a pickup), but slow goin' in my Duece. I don't ussually stop much in Delta. I'll ask my buddy...

    Where is a good place to get the conversion? If I find someone who can ship parcel post, it makes things affordable. UPS likes to rape us around here....

    I wanna go fast up hills!!!

    Just the manual shift T-case. I doubt this ol' beast has a thermostat. Never seen the gauge hit over 165 even on a hot summer day up hill 2000 RPM at 30 mph I could probably get away with losing the fan, but I don't think it'd like me if I let it idle anywhere (winter or summer) Since the...

    I wanna go fast up hills!!!

    Ok. Maybe not "fast". But I'd like to climb a 7-9% in 4th and maintain around 45. So I'm asking (begging) for economicly feasible power tips. 1965 M35A2 non-turbo Yeah, I'm looking for a turbo around here as we type.... What else? Someone mentioned 'turning up the fuel'. :?:
