Check before you twist: M38A1
I'm now past the BRAVADO stage of my life where I ignored my little voice to used to tell me "don't undue that" and I would end up with some spring loaded gizmo in a million pieces all over the workshop floor........or the left handed wheel nuts on the left side of a CMP.
According to my friend, the fuel tank was replaced because it had rusted and contaminated the fuel. Working from the gas tank forward, I suspect that the contaminated fuel might have fouled the plugs. If the plugs look fine, I will check for spark and correct ignition. Fuel, air and spark = combustion. Thanks Rob and Dave for your input, I'll get back to it on Monday. Cheers.
Note: Fording cables are disconnected and the intakes wired open. Dole primer pump is disconnected. Intake holes are not capped but piped together.
