I am at the point of getting the ignition sorted out. Looking at the attached picture of the distributer cover. Where is #1 located? I know the firing order but I have a new set of wires to put on.
Note that this a spare cover. Not the one that is installed.

The number of this plug is 2225. Thread size is 18mm

I wonder what the larger size was for? I guess maybe a bigger vehicle? Or an earlier vehicle. The thread size reminds me of the plugs that fit my old Farmall tractor. I will be putting these ip for sale on ebay. I have to recoop some of the money to pay for the new ones ($192 plus shipping)!

Working on getting my ‘62 M37 going, I went to replace the plugs and the ones that the guy gave me when I bought the truck are way too big. What is the correct plug for an M37? These are the waterproof type plugs.

It is the end of September and the hurricane season is in full swing. Rains every day. Brakes are finished. Engine and valves are free. I am almost ready to put the head back on. I put two new batteries in and was checking out the lights. Headlights work. Parking (?) lights work. I am not real sure ...

I believe I got it right using the feeler gauge method and adjusting both the upper and lower adjustments. If it’s not perfect, it is darn close.

New wheel cylinders, shoes and master cylinder are all replaced. Correctly this time around. Next I will bleed the brakes then off to the engine.

What is the price of the engine and transmission. I am in Palm Beach County. Email is best for me.

i sent a PM but it seems to still be in my outbox and not sent ??

I learned something this week. #1 Use the manuals! #2 Don’t take for granted that the previous owner did things correctly. I replaced the front wheel cylinders the same way they came off. They are backwards, so now I have some rework to do. I found this out when I removed the rear wheel cylinders an...

I decided to purchase new wheel cylinders …..two right and two left

Note that only one cylinder seemed to be marked with an R.

I have been working on the brakes of my M37 and I believe the previous owner didn’t pay attention or know that wheel cylinders are left and right. I replaced them as I found them and now I may have them on backwards. Large cylinder facing forward (front shoe) or towards rear shoe? Back to the drawin...

Has anyone noticed that the price of brake cleaner has doubled in the las few years?
12 cans for $56.00 at NAPA

Things I have learned so far:

Wheel cylinders are left and right.

Something i knew but almost forgot. left hand threads on drivers side lug nuts.

Well, I guess i didn’t explain what I wanted to do. The air pressure isn’t for actually breaking it free. it was to help the JB Blaster help penetrate the rings. Unfortunately it has been holding pressure for a week now. You would have thought it would have leaked down by now. Since it has been hot ...

The engine hade a compete overall about 10 years ago. Was a daily driver supposedly. Then water got in from an open spark plug hole. I am just wanting to get it running.
