Can I ask where you found the 8A manual ? I’ve found model 19 but yet to find 8A.

The manifolds are not available easily and are extremely Hard to come by in decent condition . I’m going to experiment with normal manifold vs correct all fuel manifold and test incoming air temps to actually see what difference it makes . The carb is also jetted differently for the heavier fuel and...

I don’t think Deere offered all fuel by the time 440’s were offered?

Yeah the other 25% is gas. It will most definitely run on gas% however the purpose of all fuel was to burn less gas and more what they called tractor fuel in the day which to best guess was similar to a gas/kerosene/diesel type mixture . This is why there are two tanks , you must start on regular ga...

Was able to track down blue streak points # DR2227P
And blue streak condenser # DR60. Not positive there absolute
Best, but there sure better than the junk that was in tune up kit

Wondering if anyone has part# or recommendation for best quality points and condenser available for Mc/40 Delco Remy

Good idea , however 2 cylinder told me it could be 8 months to year or more to get a serial number document back due to China virus backlog

So is what you're saying, all 40C's were painted industrial yellow but the ones headed for AG were then painted green?

Oh man , where did that end up ?

Well at least what I believed to be true based on what I saw is actually 100% verifiable by the man that did it . Very good to know . Did this fella pass away ? That’s the only thing I neglected to get answered ? Oh one other thing , what was on carrier when you had it ? Unfortunately I got an empty...

its a stellar one ! but did you do it for the owner or did you sell it to him once completed ?

I’d go check right now but too miserable outside to attempt it.
Who did restoration though ?
