I recently acquired this 67' M35a2 and have been in the process of trying to get it running the last couple days.
There was no fuel up to the injectors so I started at the lift pump which is where I believe the initial problem lies. First off the fuse was blown on the pump. Got that fixed and put power to the pump. It cycles but doesn't move any fuel. I figured the screen was tarnished shut so I soaked it in chem-bath over night to clean that out.
After the bath I cleaned it all up and was hosing it off with brake-cleen. After that I blew it off with air and when I did the small plastic sleeve on top blew out and the ball (or whatever it was) went flying into the gravel. By some miracle I found the sleeve but whatever was underneath that is gone.
That's the problem at this point. What was in there? Was it just a steel ball or was it something special? Here's some pics. Hopefully they'll explain what I am talking about.
Thanks for any help you guys can give me.
