Friday Night - Yanking Powerpack
Had some fun last night pulling the powerpack, with the help of a good friend, preparing for the installation of my NOS transmission. This was a whole lot easier with two sets of hands
Below are pictures of my buddies hunting rig. He's done some interesting mods to make the M151A1 better for the purpose of what he uses it for. He's loaded plenty of deer and hog into the back of this M151! Oh and before anyone cries "foul" the truth of the matter is his Mutt was already a hunting rig when he bought it. In fact he's made huge strides bringing it back to a more "correct" look and feel. I give him high marks for making his Mutt "his" and he uses it in the dirt constantly. He just installed his new powerpack the weekend before and is still buttoning up the wiring and getting his carb running right.

Wowww amazing job over there !!!!!Very interesting and clever idea the gine bay tool box
Hey I saw the fuel lines on the M151A1 and I was wondering if it is possible to find those fuel lines.I mean the all set of them because i haven't change them at all and I have also cut them in some places and add other type of lines(different material---- rubber)!!!!

Re: Friday Night - Yanking Powerpack
I thought you had an A2? The A1 lines would not work since they come from the electric pump in the tank and out on the driver side directly to the carb. Yours have to come out on the other side and go to the fuel pump on the engine.baios wrote: Wowww amazing job over there !!!!!Very interesting and clever idea the gine bay tool box

Re: Friday Night - Yanking Powerpack
Ok the Powerpack is back in with the NOS transmission. No major glitches and the test drive was a success. I may need adjust the throttle some but otherwise it all went back together as planned. Having a friend to help, or two, is always nice
My next goal is to get Mark, that's my bud's name, to get onto the G838 and start hanging with the crew here

I agree, I'd like to have one of those myself... maybe Mr. D can talk him into making some?

Re: Friday Night - Yanking Powerpack
I'll tell you, looking at the underbody work has me thinking about the crushed mutt that I have.
