Ran when parked
Definitely not a m38a1.
Ive got a couple m38a1 dual action fuel pumps that need rebuilding. Should I attempt to rebuild them my self with a kit? If so, source of kit?
Or, should I send them in and have them...
Im trying for original if possible, but not opposed to the new style, if thats I'll I can find.
I looked at the new style. It appears to have different connection methods.......What type...
I’m trying to locate and buy the proper fuel pump, with no luck. I don’t have a core so it’s no dice so far
I just acquired a 24 volt starter and a 24 volt generator. They look good, but have no idea if they function.
What options do I have for sending off for rebuild?
Been busy gathering parts............lots to share soon!!
Gathering up and hunting parts is half the fun!!
Howdy from Pin Oak Farms in NE Texas! Keep the pics coming!
Is this a northern state thing? Never seent that in my neck of the woods.
My cage will be a simple total cover for the vehicle....all other vehicles will be SOL as they are dripping in computer chips
All comms will be in separate containers designed as EMP proof.
I am building a Faraday cage for my vehicle BTW....
In case we are EMP'd, are these systems emp proof without a Faraday cage?.....asking for a friend;)
Looking over the transfer case a little closer and I discover more of Bubba's fine handiwork:p

Oh, btw, here’s a can of worms..... I read up on crank rear main seals last night till cobwebs filled my head. Rope vs best seals etc...... holy cow. Everyone has a different take on it. Hours...
...... yep, plus this will give me the excuse to buy new pistons, rods, hardware, etc.
Not sure about the cam yet. Kinda leaning towards a new cam just because. ...... machinist is gonna see...
Just talked to machine shop. We are boring both sleeves and remaining two cylinders out to 60 over.
Havent settled on a course of action. All I know now is that it has an existing sleeve at 30 in Cyl one and it will need new sleeve in cyl 2........ cyl 3 and 4 bored to 60 to remove gouge.
...
After further inspection by the machinist, it was definitely the the wrist pins migrating out that cause the gouges. Cyl 2 and 4 had matching gouges. We also discovered a odd rod out of the 4. ...
There were actually two cylinders that had matching gouges.......2 and 4
Have no idea why they failed for sure, , but the only way possible is that the wrist pin locking bolt on the rod came...
Dropped the engine block, head and crank off at the machine shop today.

Looks like the wrist pins got loose on a couple of cylinders and gouged um up pretty good

Previous owner bubba-rigged mine with a 1/4" rough cut plate with two holes and a gob of pookey ......leaked like a strainer.
