Hey, love the detail and explaining. If ya need a wire segment let me know. I have a bunch of the metal connectors (douglas I think) and the rubber connectors (packard I think) and Mil spec 14 gauge wire with the correct crimp tool for the contacts. I can also put the circuit tags on. Just tell me what style. I have been doing this on a M-37. building a segment with Douglas on one end (the gauges) and packard on the other (new sensors). Easy peasy.
Great video. I’ve never had to play with a regulator yet. But I am sure my time will come. I fight the old Packard connectors verse the Douglas connectors all the time. It’s tough to get the old style replacement gauges so my M37 has a spider gear with some Douglas and some Packard connectors because of the gauges I am using. The swap is easy as long as you have the correct crimp tool.
I had a very similar story on my Darcy Miller repop fuel pump. The spring in the one way valve that allows the fuel pump to push fuel to the carb disappeared. Mine would start and run for about two blocks then die. Took me a while to learn what was going on. Anyway, I cheat now and i replaced the fuel bowl with a glass bowl so I can see fuel in the pump. My jeep has always required 3 or 4 pumps of the fuel pump after anything over two months of no use. great video.
Patrick, what Neway cutters do you use for the weasel and the Jeep engine? I am restoring a old Briggs & Stratton Model 4 and was hoping that by chance they were the same sized cutter. I am trying to spread out the cost and hopefully one works for all.

I can confirm the pitman arm lock pin. I was never able to get mine out. GRRRRRRR!
