Re: Major restoration of 1958 M37.

Actually the marking on the bolt heads, if you look closely, is the letters d p c d which stood for Dodge Plymouth Chrysler Desoto. It may appear to be just DB because the stem of the p is lengthened down to work as the back of the d under it, which may lead in such a small space to be seen as a B. ...

If you do choose to go with a solid state reg you will need more than just the regulator. You will have to convert from a amp meter in the dash to a volt gauge and that requires a diff spider harness behind the dash.

I remember meeting Mr Ahl many yrs. back at the east coast rally shortly after he had gotten his M-37 he didnt know anything about it or any MV really. He fixed it up marginally(to him it was restored) like Mr Talbert remarked. He really wasnt qualified to write a definitive book on the subject, but...

The orignal fuel sending units can be rebuilt, but its pretty expensive, search Hemmings for gauge rebuilding services. The ones you get now are all reproduction and not of the orignal design, just a universal type replacement.

Later his job took him to texas where he resides today, after retiring he worked more on ACE and obtained a good stock of m-37 surplu...

One thing you will need to do is set up the pre-load on the 2 output units brgs. This is an important step since its these bearings that cause the noise so common to the NP200. They are tapered brgs. just like in a differential. an like in a diff. if they arent set up right they will sing. You will ...

The early type switches would be worth more to someone wanting an orignal type switch in there early MV, they are clearly different in appearance, and can be harder to find now. However if you were to use the 1st design you would have to have a 2 piece rear harness for the veh. if you wanted any wir...

Yes its unlikely any 37's were still in service long enough to fall under that MWO, however its easy enough to install one if you wanted. All you need is the alt and the wiring kit which are on ebay or avial through most MV vendors now. The 100 amp kit was for trucks equipped w several radios or oth...
