Talk about trailers.  I/we bought 3 $150 -$300 WWII Trailers.  All beat to %$*#, tailgates  and being from the great NorthWET they were rusted in every corner of the tub.  We have now made two nice trailers.  One of the frames was even the same month and year as my Jeep.  Yes, we bought repop tubs, but just about everything else is original WWII.  One still needs the brakes hooked up but it’s basically done.  The tub/floor rebuild is a long row to hoe as you have to remove the tub from the frame and the floor is sandwiched between the tub metal and the frame metal.  A real pain in the arse. 

Do you know by chance who is taking over the data gathered by Chuck Lutz that was willed to Tom Wolboldt. I am sure you know he has passed on.  This might be another thing the ole MVPA might take on or oversee as a service to members.

wonderful video.  I learned more about the carb in this video then I have even known.  Thanks so Much

When I was taught about the ground straps and the starting system, there were always three that were pointed out.  The one you pointed out between generator and starter, the ground strap from the Engine head bolt at rear of engine to the tub and then the ground strap that went from the engine to the frame across the motor mount to complete the ground circuit.  How does the the grounding strap from the generator to the starter pass the ground from the frame where the negative from the battery is attached on your jeep?  Is this an early verses late thing or are you doing something special?

Great video as always.  I would like to point out a source of future failure on Matt's Jeep.  That set of points with the Copper power strip on the outside of the points spring will eventually fail where the bolt goes through it and will ground out against the inside of the distributor body.  Ask me how I know.  Here is my precious cargo waiting along side the road for the rescue crew.   We now carry 1970's OEM points and condensors in repop original parts boxes in our spare parts bag.  Keep up the good work.

it never ceases to amaze me the things your doing.    Here is my current project.  Wiring gremlins are the bane of my existence and limited accessability to early parts and shipping problems with the weather between here and the east coast.  Carry on Good sir.
