I thought I had a manual for the transmission. I remember seeing one, maybe online??? Any one have one? how many pages is it?

Welcome! I'm trying to understand exactly what happened. You were driving on the road and the engine stopped? Did you tow it or replace the distributor right there and now it won't go forward? How is your fluid level? Start the engine and let it idle. Place in F-1 HIGH RANGE and run for 3-5...

Update: I could not get it to cycle. Turns out a mud wasp made a home. It now cycles somewhat on shop air. I have the regulator BMWSYC suggested. We'll need to dig deeper to find out if it is a M3 or M4. Expect some banging to happen soon.

I had the same experience when I ran a 12 psi fuel pump across South Dakota. Now I have the 3-4 psi original. it makes me quite sad actually.

Thanks. Maybe when this is solved I could combine everything we learn and write a summary. We will see. Either way the end result for both of us will be "Huh, I never thought that would have been it in a million years." Looking at the technical manuals it looks like the brake lines get up to...

Also, are you bleeding the airpac first? I remember 2 bleededs on it, but cannot remember the order. Next question, are you bleeding without air pressure assisting?

Hard to follow without actually seeing it. So you are cracking the steel line on the axle and it releases the wheel? Dan

I keep trying to sleep and ideas keep coming! If your right front wheel is locking up, it is getting flow and pressure to it. If the other is not locking up equally, it has reduced flow (restriction in line) or the pressure is not getting to the shoe to the drum (hung up shoe on backing plate)...

Crack a rear one. the front should release. Lock it up again and crack the other 7 rear one at a time. Then crack the drivers front. They all should release the passenger front wheel. If you find problems with 4 cylinders on an axle, pry the hoses out of the channels on top of dog bones. Stand...

I have been re-reading your posts on the brake problem. I'm unclear on a couple things. How do you bleed them? by foot or power bleeder? The reason I ask is a power bleeder using very low pressure tells you a lot. For example if the fluid flows out of all 12 wheel cylinders (with absolutely no...

My first attempt at sewing. I found a roll of camo fabric at an auction. There is room for improvement. The curves are tough to sew. The rest is the pics are of parts I decided to clear coat. I'm expecting the clear will make the the switches more durable. It also helps the letters stand out.

Thanks for checking. They are almost impossible to find. I took out the starter with the solenoid and replaced it with a remanufactured original. The reman came from my brother. Thanks again Jim! I also replaced the dash tin as it was drilled by the fire department that owned it. The had...

Well, it looks good with the 1100x20 tires. I agree with not running the tires on tankers. A few years back when I was fire chief someone compiled a list of fire truck accidents. Ex-military trucks with water tanks were very hard on right front tires during turns. Several rollovers and a few...

Nice Unit! Fiberglass top? Are those 1100x20 tires? I really like the ladder on the side, that is the smartest idea I've seen in a while. Thanks for posting the pics!

I tested several different ones. Holley accelerator pump 30R-92A has a much thinner leather seal. it is very pliable compared to what came in the rebuild kit. It is also the one listed in the ORD-8 for the G749. It fits and slides even dry. Obviously this is NOS from an online auction. "G749...

This one is pre-computer controlled. It was in a barn for 20 years before this weekend. The guy got it from another barn where he found it. I'm guessing 70s vintage???

Neat picture. thanks. The front cup was to hold a container that contains calcium carbonate or something. There was a drip pot that mounted on top. a few drops produced some gas that filled the chamber, then Boom! This does not have that though.

Unfortunately I have to say it will probably open it up at the seams. Construction is very light. However, I can see a heavy piece of pipe in the corner of the shop...

I'm going to do some measuring. I vertical 5lb may fit perfectly.

I did some reading and I believe you are correct. I'm going to get the adjustable regulator you suggested. My hope was that I could have a self contained unit without the hose and 20lb tank trailing.
