Re: Distributor 180 out

You shouldn't be able to. It's supposed to be indexed.
The rebuild probably isn't advancing because it is assembled incorrectly.

Re: Transportation

Hire a hotshot hauler.
We ship railroad power trucks this way several times a year. They are a minimum of 15,000 lbs. Most have winches to load if it is a 'roller'. (We use a 20,000lb gantry crane at work.)

Re: Wire Routing / Mounting Hardware / Clips / etc. ???

The parts manual (the big one, there are several) shows all the parts and gives dimensions and often, locations.
Between the manuals I have found EVERYTHING I've needed.
Ignore the chapters, closely examine ALL the pictures and illustrations

I cut them according to the garbee dimensions.
Should be good then. I cut to his dimensions and my rop is fine. But, I added a few extra tie down grommets.

He already mentioned trying 2nd low, and said that was too fast.
If you use the skinny pedal, it probably is. But 3rd low at idle works well for me in the parades we do every few months.

Re: Grandpa’s M37

Try 3rd gear in low range.
And I never worry about temps. Driving home from work today at 114F it never got above 190F in traffic.

GL4 straight 90wt

FYI:
Shopper's Supply is now stocking 2 gallon jugs of GL4 90wt.
The house brand is Harvest King. $30 a jug. The last time I bought it I paid $130 for a 5 gallon pail.
This is way more economical.

Re: AB15 Antenna with CB Radio

Yeah, just winding wire around a form is harder to do than it would seem on the surface. Following instructions from someone who did the hard work is a great option. Base loading, center loading and tip loading all have their own pluses and minuses. If I was to try and use the AB base for CB, I thin...

Re: AB15 Antenna with CB Radio

Although it requires some knowledge and external gear to use initially, something like this will match the antenna to the radio. Set it up for the channel you will run and don't touch it again.

Re: 5 Fuel Filters are not necessary!

The factory put the spin on sediment bowl/cartridge filter on the regulator mount bracket. They eliminated it in the 53 production run, I believe.

Re: M37 Horn Button

I had to perform surgery on an aftermarket one. It had the problem you have. Then I found a new old stock one from that fellow in Texas. It worked fine but the rubber button was short lived.
