Thanks Wes. In response to your assumptions, all are correct with one exception. I should have included that info in my post.

I didn't actually remove the vent tube, but rather I disconnected it ...

I have what I'm calling a surging / sputtering issue with my M38. When I bought the vehicle it had an older carburetor on it. When first starting the engine I found I needed to have the choke pulled ...

I had my M-38 up on a my lift today and noticed grease zerks on the rear axles near the brake backing plates. Is this to provide a method for adding lubrication between maintenance intervals when the ...

I have my 1952 M38 idle timing set at 5 BTDC as identified in the TM, but I was wondering if these engines could benefit from a little more initial timing? The engine has a fairly consistent cranking ...
