Hey Rick

How did your jeep run I sure do love to travel, but it is always nice to get home and sleep in your own bed.

Happy Birthday Jeff

Fil A guy from Chicago found an exact replacement from Autozone, and the numbers are listed in the Cross Reference list in the Wiki. Sadly, it seems Autozones supply has dried up, but it might be worth a few phone calls. Here is what the Wiki says. 4. Fuel Pump * M151A2…Airtex, custome...

He backed it in, just in case he needs a quick getaway.

While it does provide cooling airflow, the vent line also removes gases generated by the electrical spark inside the distributor. I would definitely get the ventilation lines working. The 20 manuals have vacuum line diagrams for the various models. The one for the A1 is different than the lines on t...

Looking at the pictures furnther, I think it's an A1 tub with lots of homemade panels. I say this because it looks like the back wheels have the classic negative camber of an A1. And I don't know of anybody that has made an aftermarket A1 body tub.

A picture of the firewall under the hood would tell if it's an aftermarket body or an original body that someone has added a lot of home made replacement panels to.

Have fun

I have always wondered why the tires on the rear of a A1 didn't wear funny with the negative camber, especially mine, since I have a set of 70 series radials. Then one day I was following my wife as she was driving the jeep. When it is under power, the rear wheels assume a more or less neutral camber.

I have been toying with the idea of putting a ballast resister in line on mine to drop the voltage down to about 20 volts and see how it runs. That would eliminate the problem of burnt coils, eve on the aftermarket ones. I know a guy running a swamp buggy with 151 running gear. He is running a 24 v...

Ken aka Muttguru had a post several years ago about a friend of his who lengthened the rear A arm mounting plates so that the rear tires would have a more neutral camber, so this idea isn't exactly new. As for whether the M151 rolls easier, that is murkier. I think what the problem is, is that the M...

Cool pictures. Nice rifle The river crossing looks dangerous

Mr.D

Next time you gotta do something a little different. How about Navy battleship gray or Airforce strata blue
