Have not seen the little gasket that the bolt goes through on top of the filter housing listed at any of the usual parts suppliers. Mine are trashed, got away with using RTV last time but would like to use a gasket instead. Any ideas?
That's what I was afraid of. Have LOTS of wmo so running the old gal would not be a problem, but not at the cost of the vehicle charging system.
Thanks for the info.
Could powering an inverter off the slave cable receptacle for an extended period of time mess up my electrical system? I would like to use it as a backup for power outages. My concern is that the vehicle batteries could over charge or do other damage to the electrical system. Am not much of a...
Have several totes that have been sitting for 5 years, been running the WMO through a 3 micron filter/water separator, only sucking off the top 50 gallons or so. Then refill the tote and it goes back to sitting for another 5 years. Thought that should be good to go but read here in an older...
Never thought much about it until a friend mentioned it to me, that weak batteries can kill your alternator. They will make your alt work extra hard. I ran my truck for some time on batteries that were only fair, and the gage was always showing the alt working hard. Finally got some new...

thanks!
Thanks for the suggestions, will give them a try.....................the half shaft slid in with no problems............will start with the flange............
Just replaced the inner wheel seal on the front passenger side, had to drive it out with the 6' pipe method. Have not put the tires back on yet and the old gal is still on jack stands. The question is: Should I be able to turn both wheels by hand? Can turn drivers side and could turn passenger...
Same thing happened to me some time back. I knew had clean fuel filters, clean fuel , fuel tank was clean, and in tank pump was working. Did a lot of hair pulling and found out after had to have it towed that the primary fuel filter had worked louse and the old girl was sucking some air.
Its a rebuilt, 1971 Continental................runs great...........everything is new (rebuilt) under the hood
except for Alternator and Starter............guess I am caught in a lie (as form is titled "What did YOU do to your deuce," but I sure did pay for it LOL) as did not do the work myself...
