Re: 24 Volt Military Coil Modification

I bought a nos 24v external coil from debella jeep, you have to call him and ask for it. I also bought a new external coil for a Hotchkiss M201 from Jeep Est out of France. The one from France was about $80 with shipping and it runs good.

CB External Speaker

I bought a cb radio for my m37 and the speaker on the radio is too quiet to hear when driving. Does anyone have recommendations on a external 8 ohm speaker that is loud enough to hear over the transmission?

Vapor fuel filter

Was recently driving on a class 4 road with a icy steep hill, the road was pretty rough so I was driving slow and I kept spinning on the ice going up the hill and vapor locked. It was 75* out. I already have a fuel pump heat shield. I saw this fuel filter that goes between the pump and carburator wi...

Winch Chain

I am in the process of adding a winch to my m37. I am curious if anyone could tell me the length and thickness of the chain at the end of the winch cable. Thanks.

Re: Ballast resistor Ohm value

Wattage is above my knowledge all I did was use ohms law then guess and check with resistors I already had.

Re: GCI Paint Mixture

Thanks for responding. Is there any big difference between xylene and mineral spirits or is xylene just the best for GCI paint?

I bought a gallon of late WW2 GCI paint and am getting ready to start painting some fenders. What has other people used for thinner and what ratio. I'm planning on using acetone and no hardener.

Re: Ballast resistor Ohm value

I did the math and it takes about 6 ohms of total resistance to get around 21-22 volts. The coil had about 5.2 ohms so I put a 1 ohm resistor and idles about 21.5 volts. Hope this info helps someone else out.

Ballast resistor Ohm value

I am trying to figure out the working voltage and ohm reading for an external ballast resistor and coil setup. I have a power wagon distributor running on 24 volt and need a external ballast. Does anyone know what ohm rating the ballast should be on a 24volt system? Thanks

Bosch 24v Coil

When I got my m37 it had a power wagon distributor running off one battery to get 12 volts. I'm keeping the non military distributor but want to have full 24v. I found a 24v Bosch external ignition coil on eBay and will probably buy it. Has anyone else used these, how do they hold up. I saw one at a...

Reverse Lights

I want to make a reverse light with a m37b1 black out stop light. I want to replace the cover with a fullsize clear lense. I can only find amber lenses for a m38, does anyone tried this or know where to find a clear lense.

Cargo tie down anchor

I want to add tie down points in the corners of the floor on my truck's bed. Im thinking about the welding the d ring style anchors. What have other people used. If you have something similar can you send a picture.
