Congrats! I second the "sounds good". Surprising given the amount of neglect it's had. Well-done!

Quick disconnects are used by some for ease of maintenance of the fan clutch ad and steering assembly (since they both run off the steering pump). The recommended, and most common location is NOT there. No good reason to need one there as far as I can say. That hasn't been a point of failure...

Wire brush and a big can of elbow grease did all 4 of mine. I probably couldn't do it now, as I'm having neck disc troubles in my C4,5,6,7. A wire wheel on low speed might work? BDGR

Sure the fuel lines are clear and pumps can handle full load/flow? Distributor not advancing? I assume the M37 dizzy has flyweights, or is it vacuum advance? easy to have those little springs rust or the vacuum advance seize or leak. Hard to see a vacuum leak at the advance, but you could...

I'd swear one of the original Army videos for operator familiarization showed them shifting while running and trans in neutral. I'm happy to change that practice. BDGR

If you blew through the line (and that was worth checking), you definitely should bleed the injectors now. BDGR

The IP may be the culprit, especially since it's a known failure item. Before I read that explanation, my thoughts were blocked lines. Easy enough to blow them out with low pressure compressed air. A line can have partial blockage and still pass fuel briefly in good quantity form that stored...

Looks nice and tidy. Has anyone figured a good mounting style/hardware for AR pistol size weapons? Bulldogger

It is widely recommended as a preventive maintenance action when injectors may have air in them, causing one or more cylinders to not be fed and fueled properly. Trapped air and poor fueling can destroy an engine; in the case of gas engines I had a classmate who ran out of gas and her mechanic...

Don't forget to bleed your injectors to clear any air in them and balance your fuel feed. Not hard to do. Bulldogger

Looking good. I have two green slant back kits available if you’d like to put a soft slant back on it. You can find my thread in the classifieds. Bulldogger

I second the recommendation to give them a few charge and discharge cycles before writing them off completely, but it's looking unlikely for sure. Even so, they do have some capacity and could be good spares for unforeseen issues where some portable 12V power might come in handy (if we first...

Welcome to the club! Looks like a good start. Best do the entire Lube Order and get it all squared away before you put her through the paces, as it sounds like the previous owner may not have done much preventive maintenance. Here are the technical manuals...

Goo d news and thanks for the update Ajax. I am across the Wilson Bridge and watching your progress with interest. If this initiative passes we can try to cite precedent in our neighboring State and perhaps sway VA. However the voiced opposition of the Chief of Police will remain a stumbling...

15 tires? You got a 3-wheeled variant? :D

Thanks, their website is defunct, but I tried another online resource to reach out. If that seems to have not worked, I will try calling them. BDGR

Besides Breton Industries, does anyone know the company names of any other military (especially Humvee) soft top and cargo cover manufacturers? I am looking for a company interested in taking over making my soft slant backs. I just don't have time, but hate to think they would die with me (so...

It's funny that when I was younger Japan-made parts were criticized. Now when I can find NOS machined steel parts made in Japan (U.S. being long-gone) I am happy to have them, given the Chicom alternative crap-shoot. (This is in the case of Harley parts, for my 1975 Super Glide.) BDGR

Good idea!

I'll sign up. Thinking the same thing for my 998 later this year, looking forward to watching yours. BDGR
