Re: Building a retro M37

I think it will, but you have to realize that a diesel does not make much heat idling. Stop - go traffic may make the fan run more. Good to see that your set up is adequate. I have 2 more cylinders and 2.0 more liters. If it was brass i don't think it would be enough. aluminum dissapates heat much b...

looking for large tires

I am looking for either 42" 40" 38", in that priority. These are for my Custom M37 and am building now. 42's will fit but if I have to I will get smaller. tires do need to be new, 50% or better. Also do not have to be a military tire. I live in Alberta Canada so I may have to get them...

Re: Change of plans, AGAIN!

as for the viabration, check your rear shaft u-joint angle. The front u-joint angle should be the same as the rear u-joint angle. If it is not you will get driveshaft "windup" and "unwindup" every 1/2 turn of the shaft, hence the viabration at "speed". This angle can be...

Re: Change of plans, AGAIN!

sounds like your pedal to master rod is too long and the master is not returning all the way.

Re: Building a retro M37

hey guys, Some of you thought my shifter looked odd in a m37. Look what i found in a 1969 Chrysler Military Truck-Utility-High Mobility 4x4! Cool. the shifter is exactly like mine! found this one on militarytrucks.ca under "for sale". https://s20.postimg.cc/74v4dun0d/myshifter.jpg https://...

Re: 318 with problems....

my 2 cents on carbs is different. I run a "B" engine (400 cu in) in my 71 dart. I found in the past that if you runa stock..ish engine a carter avs or afb is fine. They work good and give resonable fuel mileage. IN my case tuough with the heavy cam and the high stall converter the 750 cart...
