Are the electronic ignition (solid state) kits that were made back in the 80s for converting over from points to electronic ignition worth installing into the 24v distributor? I see some NOS kits being sold over seas but wasn't sure if they were really worth putting in or just stay with the old ...

Then and Now Automotive was asking on his Facebook page if there were any videos that people wanted him to make, so I asked him to make one showing how they preloaded the pumps when they did a rebuild so he made a video posted it to their Facebook page and onto YouTube a month ago or so. It's not ...

Wes I was just thinking about restoring the hardware on the jeep or sending it out to get yellow zinc plated for stuff that will possibly get remover or need repairs later like covers or drain plugs. Is it possible to paint nuts/bolts and screws OD and not ruin the finish assembling them, any tricks ...

OK thank you for bringing that up Wes that is good to know. I'll be ordering the 3/4 in. ones.

Hahahah. I see what you did there. yep that is one way of finding out, I didn't think that one through. Thanks again Wes

Question for the experienced pros, did the 1953 m38a1 come from the factory with 3/4 or 13/16 inch lug nuts? Looked in the Ord 9 all parts book but it didn't list the OD size just thread size and quantity. Thanks.

Did they restamp the F 134 engine blocks behind the water pump after a engine rebuild with the MD engine # ? Can I assume that if the engine # starting with MD is still visible that the engine block has not been remachined for flatness? If the numbers have been machined off is there any way of ...

Wes thank you for bringing up the subject about the block. I knew about the crankshaft needing to be remachined to spec to accept the neoprene seal from scanning other posts but I guess I overlooked the part about the block needing to also be redone which only makes sense but I figured the seals ...

OK thank you Wes for correcting the photo link I was having a hard time with that and I couldn't figure out how to make sure the photo wasn't over 250k.

So can either one of these 2 styles be used in the D18 or is there a reason that one is machined differently on the backside than the other is it ...

The link you posted is for the entire page that shows the 1st example.

You must right click on the photo itself and copy and paste the ...

Sorry Wes I should have gone by the parts book. It would actually be part "Z" in your photo, Spur, Gear WO-A10469. It appears there are 2 different styles only thing different is the backside. I just went by what the distributors are calling it. Thanks for the album I will try and figure out how to ...

I see there are 2 different types of main shaft gears for the D18, both are the same gear count and practically identical but one style has a square shoulder on the backside the other a 45 degree chamfer. (Wish I could post pictures) My old gear that came out is the 45 degree style. I ordered a NOS ...

If rebuilding one or the other would it be a bad idea to block the passage holes while it's apart to keep the two from sharing fluid? Then you wouldn't have to worry about over filling the transfer case and could just level it off to the filler hole.

Thank you Wes for taking the time to go into detail fully explaining everything and Don for the link! I'm more of a visual learner so the pictures help alot. I'm going to be needing a larger storage device with everything I take a screenshot of. :) Steve thank you for bringing this topic up because ...

Thank you wesk that's exactly what I wad looking for and wanted to hear. I looked for that info but guess I was looking in the wrong books.
