    Old pre-combustion engines had glow plugs, but thought they used rotary ignition switch rotated left to pre-heat. Don't think ether was that fancy. What year "A"?
     
    Oxbow and Grubby Thank this.

    I was browsing SIS the other day looking up stuff for my 1980 w/direct injection and came across a Cat option for an ether injection kit on those engines built for Paccar.

    Sounds like I better see if there's an either can on it somewhere. If it's like a John Deere it can suck dirt if no cam isn't present

    Thank you. Hope it doesn't drive me crazy. The wiring appears to be factory but still looks like a mess. Air wipers kinda sketchy. Everything but the pryo works so if I can get the ac going I'll be happy. Gonna try to do a little regional work with it. Wish I was about a foot shorter after sitting in it awhile
     
    OLDSKOOLERnWV, Oxbow and Grubby Thank this.

    Couple places online that offer electric wiper conversion. On ebay and always ad for it in Large Car Magazine. Leg room isn't much to be desired, but #### they look good. Was a build I saw online where guy did Peterbilt unibilt setup on an A model for some legroom. Pictures looked like he did a heck of a job.
     
    Oxbow and Grubby Thank this.
