Re: Reed Style Fuel Level Sender

Thanks. I figured that would be too easy. My punishment for throwing out a key part without understanding it’s purpose. So, any idea where I can buy ye olde gauge regulator? Also, River, I’m the one looking for a Rochester B carb insulator. Any luck finding a NOS in your vast store of parts? Thanks...

Re: Bucket Seats Options

Something that crossed my mind is the low and mid back seats from medium and heavy duty class trucks made by Bostrom and National. They come in some compact sizes that could fit in the small envelope of the Patrol. They can be purchased separate from the air suspension system as a replacement or as ...

Re: Manifold Gasket Wanted

Esteban, manifold gasket in hand but the Google is confusing on which side goes toward block and which side goes toward manifold. Most say smooth (composite) side to block and shiny metal side to manifold. Agree? Beer(s) on me in a future meet-up. Dave Was going to respond about the beer... :twiste...

Re: Timing Q of the day

...Patrol runs ok at speed but lots of backfire when I let off throttle, and will sometimes stumble and cough when accelerating from low idle. Any ideas? I’ve played with timing but cannot seem to eliminate the backfire. Thanks, as always. Dave Backfire when you let off the throttle can be a sign o...

Re: Project Blue Belle

To all those who have expressed interest; I'm not ignoring you It's just that I've been out on other business and will be until Christmas. At that time I will address material availability and have time to build up a jig to replicate the system. I do reuse the original flange. So I will need a flang...

Re: Project Blue Belle

Love the exhaust. Would like to make a plan to use a system from you or create a similar one through a local shop. A few questions… Could this work on a L60 with the side step in place? Can you provide the name brand/model of the the muffler used? How loud? Thanks Dave Yes. It bolts to the original...

Re: Finally getting my Dad's 1969 Patrol shipped

Lucky guy. We kill you last. Is it just me or am not alone in thinking the percentage of Patrols saved and held onto by their owners, often in great shape, is unprecedented with maybe a close second being series Rovers. A lot of barn find old Internationals but not necessarily Scouts, certainly not ...

Re: Wix oil filter replacement

You have 3 O-rings, pictured below: #3 At the top, outside the canister #8 Goes in Washer/Retainer #9. This is crucial. Without it the oil is not filtered! #4 Goes in the groove of the main body, where the canister sits. From what I remembered the oil filters came with #8 & #4 only. http://stat...
