I purchased some from John at Midwest Military in the past.

I prefer DOT 3/4 for the reasons just me mentioned and some others. One issue with DOT 5 is that if any moisture does get into the system it will collect and not disperse into the brake fluid like a DOT 3/4. This will lead to localized corrosion. If you use DOT 3/4 and flush the system every couple ...

Join your local MV club. Most parades near me are arranged by community organizations including the Kiwanis, VFW, American Legion… If you make them aware you’re willing to participate they’re usually happy to put you on a mailing list. Around here we typically have Veterans Day and 4th of July parad...

Gary,
We transported some state finalists sponsored by the 246 American Legion post in a parade. It was good fun and the kids enjoyed the Army truck. I’m not sure they have ever experienced a vehicle without a screen .

Gary, Only a couple of photos. I was busy wrangling Henry most of the time. We did get a ride in a WWII Half Track which was super cool and convoyed to Sanders Aeronautics to check out some Hawker Sea Fury air racers along with a bunch of other neat aircraft. Talk about cubic $$$! Henry and I both h...

I don't know if it will bother the housing, but I did manage to melt the cover for the turn signal indicator!

just me,
Is your gauge stable? Mine gauge acts like it has no damping at all. I'm wondering if it's the regulator cycling like mad or the gauge is just wonky. I actually show higher voltage at idle than when revved up which is odd.

This post got me thinking that I should do something about my ammeter that does little more than wiggle. I picked up a working voltmeter from a friend and removed/insulated wires 8 & 9 from the ammeter. I had a 5 wire spider so I plugged 27 into the rear of the voltmeter and it's up and going, B...

Hi All, Counted 4 M37's at the meet. 3 were basically stock and one had a small block Mopar w/ FI, 5 spd., disk brakes and hidden A/C! Before you're tempted to grumble about the modified M37, if you didn't open the hood or look pretty darn closely you would never know. Some friends of mine have had ...

Anyone going? We'll be there with the truck assuming no mechanicals like a few years ago ! Be good to see a bunch of M37's there this year.

Michael,
Beware, there is no end to the rabbit hole.

Are you venturing south for MVCC meet in April?

Fearsome words "Daddy, I want to help!". Surpassed by "Daddy, watch this!" Gary, Hopefully we'll get this thing together some time early next year. I've gathered most of the parts and most of the machining is done. We need and we need to do the valves/seats, it's just time!!! Hop...

Hi Crew, As we slowly progress on the world's longest engine rebuild I need to send some lifters to Delta for refurbishing. I have a camshaft with a damaged lobe (chipped) that they can repair and regrind to their 400M spec based on the Chrysler marine camshaft. If I'm going to ship some stuff their...

I believe I purchased the proper tire irons for the job from McMaster-Carr. We do the wheels on a Hunter TC3700 tire machine and use plenty of tire paste. From my experience the bead captures the locking ring well before you even apply any air pressure, but we still keep the wheel locked to the mach...

The oil pan gasket can be done in place. Due to the way the pick up works it's a good idea to clean out the pan on an engine with an unknown history. They collect goodies in the bottom of the sump due to the floating pickup. Best gaskets sells good rear seals.
