Ignition Timing
When I was young we use to set the timing on cars by advancing them until the engine knocked under full load then backed it off just a bit, like 2 degrees. Then we tried to start it and if it cranked hard we backed it off a bit more. Has anybody tried this? Does anybody understand why the static tim...

Re: rev limiter, supressor
I think I may have found the problem. I took the spark plug leads off to ohm them and they all ohmed the same at about 1 kOhm, but I noticed some damage on the #1 lead where it snaps into the wire holder at the top of the engine. I wrapped it with electrical tape and everything seems back to normal....

Re: rev limiter, supressor
If anyone needs to know, the rev limiter jumper needs 1/4" male spade ends.

Re: rev limiter, supressor
Thanks, Paul, I bypassed the overspeed sensor and it made no difference. I changed my suspicious plug and it ran great for about an hour and started doing the same thing. I pulled the plug and it looked fine. I think it did that just to confuse me. It idles well on all 4 but runs bad under load. Cha...

rev limiter, supressor
I am having some trouble with my truck and I suspect it is in the ignition. It is a 71o with petronix ignition and civilian cap/rotor/HT leads, and plugs. It idles fine on all four, but under load it misses and backfires through the intake. At idle I have good spark at all 4 plugs. All plugs except ...

Re: Pull to left when braking
Funny thing happened. It was time to inspect my brakes again. I pulled the drums inspected everything, put the drums back on and adjusted. When I started test driving again it pulled to one side just like it did years ago. I stomped the brakes real hard and it quit pulling. I think Jim L is right. I...

Re: installing differential breathers
That looks like the spot where they are shown to be in the owners manual. I did a little more reading last night and found out a bit more. First, some Unimogs use the pressure system at about 3 psi, but it is not on all the time.Second, some jeep people use a bellows on the vent. It sounds like the ...

Re: installing differential breathers
I have been reading up on fording kits for military vehicles. The Humvee (and I think the LMTV) have kits where a little air pressure can be feed into all the oil-filled units. The pressure balances out the static head of the water. The idea is that if there is a little leakage, it will be oil out r...

Re: installing differential breathers
Here is a picture of the transmission vent. This is taken through the inspection plate at the forward end of the bed. The breather is right there at the tip of the screwdriver.On my truck with 33"tires and no load it is about 30.5" above the ground. I wonder if this sets the factory wading...

Re: ball joint crossover
SAV is closed until Wednesday which means they cannot get me the part until Friday. I want to do the repair before that if possible.
I have bought ball joints from SAV before and they worked fine.
I looked in the Moog catalogue. I can find the right threads, but the tapers do not look right.

Re: installing differential breathers
You can't see it unless you take the access plate in the bed off. Mine is on right now so I can't take a picture. It looked like a plain old breather with a tin hat. In the parts book it is shown as 2-20-32, part number 710.1.21.530.2 and is described as "ZF-0-732-612-004", "breather&...

Re: installing differential breathers
My tranny, which appears to be original, does have a vent, which is shown in the parts book. Nothing else seems to be vented.

Transmission filler threads stripped
When I was checking my transmission oil I found the threads in the aluminum rear gearbox casing (710.1.21.522.1) where the reduction plug (900.19960) were mostly stripped.This is the highest plug, where you are suppose to put oil in. Has anybody found a way to fix this without tearing the transmissi...

installing differential breathers
I want to install the factory differential breathers for a trip I am hoping to do with some possible deep fords. I understand from a post copied below that you have to drill some holes in some "hollow shafts" that is described in a repair manual. I cannot find it in my repair manual. Does ...
