Hey there guys, a HUGE event occurred last Sunday. I FINALLY after much wrenching got the M35A1 to RUN. First time in 10-15-20 years..who knows, last sticker on the plate is 1993. Put a new injection pump on after removing the existing one twice, replacing a quill shaft, several new hyd heads and hours of head scratching failed to do it. New pump and she lit right off. Not sure what is wrong with the original IP, when i get the time i'll tear into it some snowy night and find out. Its got new injectors in there as well, not exactly sure of their intended use actually. Could be 5 ton, could be 2.5 single hole either way i really do have to figure that out. The original 2 hole injectors were crudded up from sitting so long and are in need of a rebuild to the tune of 400 bucks. Till i get that kind of spare cash i'll run what i have in there at the moment. Only for offroad plow duty clearing about a mile of private dirt road so i'm not too worried about cooking anything due to large injectors if they are 5 ton. Never actually been near a running lds 427 before this one. I have to say, it sounds FANTASTIC in person Holding a nice 60 lbs oil press at idle cold, its charging and making air. Exceptionally smokey though. Bit of a rolling cloud at ilde, more so than your average deuce. Got on it a bit in third gear high range and promptly obscured the entire road behind me with a huge black cloud Still no actual brakes so thats about as fast as i want to be going. Going to fix those real soon, just a blown front wheel cyl. The 11 foot highway plow is now mounted up and looks amazing. Fits the truck perfectly and clears about 6 inches wider than the rear duals. The pinging noises you hear in the vid are acorns being pitched at me by the rad fan. Stupid mice had hidden some under the rad and i didn't notice them at the time. Noticed them real fast when they were flying past my head as i was hanging out the cab to look for leaks ect. Hand throttle was not connected so had to keep foot on the petal initially so thats why the frequent rpm fluctuations as i moved around to see stuff. Without further stalling, here is the vid
