On first attempt, Michigan has rejected registration of a 710k. They want to say it's off road only. Can someone help with their experience of registering in that state? It seems to be an issue of classification.
Any help would be appreciated!

I can't speak for the VDO gauges, but I wanted to add that some sold-as-12V gauges may be just fine in a 24V system.

I had an old Sun Super Tach II of similar vintage to the Pinz, and reverse-engineering the circuit made it clear that 24V operation was fine, and it works well in the Pinz.

YMMV.

If your Pinz needs anything, I encourage you to get on Andre's route schedule. Been meaning to change those axle boots? He probably has spares with him, and it'll just be done when he does it. Recently bought your truck and have no idea when the fluids were last changed? Just ask him and it's done. ...

Reviving an old thread for modern day.... Farm Bureau -- No Safeco -- No Auto Owner's Insurance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto-Owners_Insurance) -- Yes Progressive -- rumored to be yes State Farm -- rumored to be yes Any other datapoints for where folks are finding insurance for a 710 (K or M)?...

So....I once heard a rumor that the supergluing was intentional to prevent the operation of the blackout lights.

Probably lots of options on amazon, or digikey.com

Did you check to see that the connected gearboxes are full-up with their oil?

Can you share some pictures of it?

Do you need the replacement to be exact to the original, with the goal of keeping the truck pristine, or can you accept a workable replacement?

What about the windshield, how would you handle that area?

How you can easily check for vacuum leaks ? A common way to look for vacuum leaks is to spray brake cleaner on the carbs and around their bases. You'll hear a change in RPM if the engine draws in those fumes. The brake cleaner dries without residue, BTW. Check the vacuum hose that goes to the brake...

Dayco 63520 Garage Exhaust Hose with 2” I.D. x 11’ Length is a perfect fit over the 710 standard tailpipe

Which states have people had success registering a 710 Pinz in, and which state have people had problems?

For example, in CA 1975 and older is fine, newer is not allowed.

Others?

Specifically, I'm curious about states in the Pacific Northwest, upper Midwest, and the northeast states like NH.

Anyone know a source to get one? My isn't in great shape and I'd like to clean it up.

Check the gap between the Pertronix pick-up sensor and the black-plastic-encased magnet on the distributor shaft -- it should be quite close, but not touching. Check your timing. You'll need a standard timing light for this. Since you have civilian wires, it's super easy to use an inductive pick-up ...

Watch for rub points on the hose -- I added a p-clamp in one spot, and a metal sheath where it penetrates the body sheet metal.
