Herm's is a good choice but so are the Civvy 11" conversions if you can access parts for a reasonable price. I have been building and driving stock 1942 thru 1971 jeeps for the last 55 years and I ha ... |

That's odd? The M38 ORD 9 lisiting shows part number 143481 on page 32 which lists the fitting as "Tee, flared tube, inverted' brass, 1/4" tube, 3/16" tube, 1/8" male pipe side." Note the two female p ... |

I believe the "T" (PN 143481 Pg 32 of ORD 9) actually has two female ends and the base leg end is male 1/8" pipe thread.

Both NDT and NDCC's are not the best choice for use on paved surfaces. All my jeeps have had Goodyear mud & Snows and I only use the NDT and NDCC on my GPW and M38 for vehicle shows not daily pave ... |

Having re-read all three pages I must take a moment and ask if you have ever checked your ignition timing accurately. 10 BTDC is the norm but some folks have convinced themselves that 15 BTDC or more ... |

Bob, Have you reviewed the Army's procurement contracts which include spares on most of them. The Army would have needed parts on their supply shelves at least the same day the jeeps arrived. |

The gasket was not normally available by itself. But it did come with the tranny seal kit. Ron F's kit stocks that gasket still. Oddly enough the TM 9-1804B parts illustration is incorrectly labeled. ... |
