Welcome to the Outfit!
Don't hesitate to download the manuals (TMs) for your Mobile Power unit.
Just a little reading will help a lot - especially if you have questions. Knowing what to call a particular part will make it easier on everybody. Uploading a few pics won't hurt a thing...

A pair of Group 24s should be just fine.
Cleaning it will be a mess, but if you aren't removing paint you should be okay.
Report back with any neat "finds"...

I can't swear to it, but one looks like pipe thread (tapered) and the other (not tapered, with an o-ring) screws in and bottoms out on the o-ring.
Maybe it is just the picture, but that brass fitting does not have an o-ring. Right?

That timing mark being like that isn't a problem - most times. You can put a mark with a center punch so you can get back to where you were BEFORE YOU MOVE the pump. You can align it to "center" and see what happens.

You mention "little smoke on startup". That could point...

Code B is restricted to US Government Agencies ONLY.
In other words, if you aren't in the active military, working for a gov agency as a contractor - You Can't Have this Book.

It might be worth cracking open the cover on the Protection Box and verify that the "guts" aren't corroded. While I was posting this @NDT mentioned verifying the batteries. I had thought about mentioning checking the water level in the batteries - so same idea...
.
I would suggest that you have a ground issue.
Incandescent bulbs are more reliable on an unsteady ground that LED bulbs. Don't go buy a grounding kit. Just need to remember that the HMMWV does not use a "frame ground" for lighting. Every wire has a return path for its ground and every...
