I typically prefer duals but I have to say, that's not bad looking at all.

I love how poppop starts this thread with this disclaimer, basically saying "hey, this isn't going to be museum quality, we're just cleaning it up so it will be a good farm truck" and then proceeds to show us what looks like a museum quaility restoration. rofl The only way this won't end up...

I could have sworn I had fed pressurized air through the emergency gladhand to look for leaks

I would say if the clutch pedal feels normal, then you have shift fork not lined up. If the clutch feels funny, maybe the disc is in backwards.

Welcome to the site. Your English is fine. Most of us do not speak Italian. Is your Defender a military version? We are open to all types of military vehicles, not just American ones.

You are now a member of a very exclusive club. Congrats!

Locked up meaning shifter won't move or meaning clutch won't go in and allow you to leave neutral?

Long day.

Nice writeup. That flywheel is a little hefty, eh? It's all I can to pick it up and get it on the crank. I have a long, grade 8 bolt I have cut the head off that I thread into the flywheel to help locate the flywheel until I can get some bolts started. The cardboard was a good idea. I...

I just can't take this anymore-I gotta get a DUKW. Clintogf is going on eBay tonight, no reserve!

Did you notice the steering box and pitman arm?

Is this the same as All Metal, which used to be called "AlumaLead"? Man, that stuff worked well. I did my Dad's Chevelle rear window with that stuff 20+ years ago and it's still good.

There is a little regional airport near my house and they have a dustoff unit there and I am truly blessed to get frequently overflown by all sorts of stuff, albeit mostly rotary wing. Used to be a lot of Hueys, I was nearly moved to tears when what I think was a D or M model flew past last...

Welcome to the site! Is your friend Scrambler?

If I had to guess, I'd say because due to the normal inflation of an economy, the amount of people that $100 "bought" in terms of people/labor hours last year will only buy 8 or 9 this year. So even though the amount being spent stays the same or grows slightly, it will not "purchase" as much...

It'll be a lot easier to back up now.

Nope. That's actually like "snafu" or "fubar". The military puts that on all their surplus vehicles-it means "no longer of use". 8)

When you say you have good spark, do you mean you have measured the output of the spark, or just the presence? Reason I say this is one time, Dad's Chevelle wouldn't run. I went though EVERYTHING-compression test, fuel pressure, you name it. Finally, I put it on a scope and realized that...
