    Torque stick or torque wrench

    450 foot pounds. Land the wheel....tighten it up. put six feet of pipe on it and have buddy jump on it. Torque means NOTHING unless the threads are pristine and one just uses 30W motor oil like the TM says to do. TM says discard the nuts and get new ones, NOT hammer it on with 3/4 160 psi air...

    FLU, no clutch disengagement, and unrelated, no air pressure

    A suggestion: Find some place to put shop air into the system, preferably with an air dryer or at least a separator at compressor outlet.

    "MEP Generators Versus Father Time"

    Those guys did what was required to keep the AC/heat and the lights on, nothing special. Albiet, some generators built to last forever with proper maintenance. Just buy them and use them up like the military does.

    Fuel problem

    Just cut them all off with a wafer wheel and replace with stainless steel and don't paint them over. Need to get the pump/output hose out and back in with least amount of troubles. Cut the heads off carefully, pull the pump and remove the threaded screw shafts. Put new hose, gasket, and screws.

    Opinions on Undercoating

    Daddie had His 65 Plymouth Valiant undercoated and His 1970 Valiant too. New Jersey salt rots it all. Neither one ever rotted away from the underside. It was 23 bucks for the 65 and 29 bucks for the 1970 Dealer option They just sprayed tar up into everything
