It looks like a lot of water sat in that tank for a loooooong time. the filter you shared earlier, and the amount of calcification on it was an omen. The rear tank is perhaps in the same condition.

Saw this on Ebay today https://www.ebay.com/itm/266950053097

Your fuel filter shows an incredible amount of calcification, probably due to the amount of moisture in the fuel system and tanks. As well, that is the early filter. The late filters are the only ones available which require a newer cannister. The cannister shown has the old thick lip. Get a...

If the distributor was incorrectly installed, perhaps you should also determine the valve-camshaft timing at the same time. Follow the instructions in your manual about valve timing. The notches on the camshaft and cam bearing should align when you are at TDC. This will make feeling for...

California ? You may be thinking of UNIPASER perhaps?

The Pertronix unit should be the UM161. It is made to accomodate a 24V power. There is a newer version, the MV161 as well.

"Ought to" could be taken relatively. Many a 404 transmission can exhibit this type of behavior. If all else appears ok, it could be due to: the doghouse cover itself being "tweaked" and not seating properly; the gearshift lever and force transfer through the vertical pedestal on the...

The factory rim size for the 404 and other German Bundeswehr vehicles and trailers is/was the 9x20. This size is stamped directly onto the rim and was designed to accomodate the 10.5x20 tire size you refer to. Major manufacturers for this rim were SUDRAD and Lemmerz. If you ever find a...

Now all you need to find is the comm enclosure that goes with it ! The had but one entry point in the rear and an internal Eberspaecher heater on the front wall. Nice unit.

You have what appears to be an example of the extremely rare version 11 cargo bed. It was equipped with hinges for sideboards and a central tube like the radio (Koffer) bodies. The platform had an additional four "latches" to accommodate a military communication shelter.

Valve adjustment "kits" I have not heard of. You only need the appropriate 14mm purpose-designed MB or Hazet wrench. They are becoming hard to find, and yes, expensive when you do. You might try Unipaser or EI for a loaner

You're on the right track, so to speak. First, get yourself a timing light and adapter (if you have the military shielded wires) and use it. Two: adjust your valves. Three, INSPECT and clean, if required, the distributor counterweights under the point (Pertronix) plate. Next, register your...

Anyone heard from the old grouch lately? Phones are always busy and emails aren't being answered. Is all ok there ?

It is a Adler passenger car with a sheet metal skin for use as a mock armoured car. They were used by the Reichswehr during the interwar period and, based on the photo, perhaps the early Wehrmacht, circa 1933. The Werner Oswald book documents it. The book title is an impressive Kraftfahrzeuge...
