Idle problem on C15 261 CU IN

[TCLARK]

Here is a pic of the spacer, I also drilled and tapped the other side
but plgged it off.
I smeared a tiny amount of "the Right Stuff" on the manifold gasket. Good seal

The wiper arm and motor I think are original cmp or possibly jeep.
I have good wiper motors and one more arm. Just need the blades

I found this in an old drawer in the shop Looks 40's era, its just a
glorified Vacuum gauge but still works,also includes instructions ha ha

I just found blades that will go on these arms.
They are called "hook and Saddle" blades. They are sold
on ebay and elsewhere ...around 6 to 7 USD +shipping

Nice treasured vintage gauge.

A nice item that contains all the usage instructions..... it might be worthwhile trying to take a picture with less reflection on the glass so the face of the gauge can be read easier...... and post enlarged.........could be posted in the HOW TO heading........ certainly a common issue and tool that is not fully appreciated.

Cheers

Hi Terry

My solution to wipers on my Pattern 12 is simple don't have them, but then again don't have a cab top mounted either. Love that 3 ton roadster, much quieter in the cab the noise just goes by your head once non-of-that sound be reflected back down by the roof.

On the Pattern 13s use short wipers but they hardly ever are needed as I treat the glass both sides with Rain-X and it works so much better than the vacuum wiper ever did.

Cheers Phil

Will check the vacuum on the Pattern 13 on New Years Day when I have it out for a drive.

I've got my wiper motors rebuilt so I will at least plumb
them in. I will hook up some 7 " blades and see what happens.
Out here on the prairies it doesn't rain that much so they will
be mostly for looks. I will look for rainex though

I'm now trying to get my original heat gauge to work, tommorrow
I will take the sender out and remove all the teflon tape I wound around it
Live and learn
Cheers
Terry
