Re: NDT Rot!

thats just a bit of checking... once upon a time you could buy check fill. :P ndts are not like car tires they have a casing and cap and it is the health of the nylon cords on the inside that matters most. now you would never want a dot inspector to see the checking..... and tread older than 10 year...

Re: BC canada banning MV's ?

Re: ignition help please!

Re: M37 Mystery Problem

Take your distributor cap off and see if you can spin the rotor by hand. It should not move. what about the mechanical advance ? rotor should turn a bit and be smooth. electrical problems dont cure themselves over a fortnight. did you pull the plugs ? sounds like wet plugs. if there is gas pooling ...

Re: Transfer case work.

Ive never seen a speedie sleeve fail personally, however my buddy Terry worked for BC transit and said it was a common occurrence on the old Detroit powered buses.... granted they saw more miles in a year than most m37s have seen over the last 68 years.
