dragon Posted August 24, 2023 Posted August 24, 2023 Hi I'm looking for a coil spark plugs and leads for M29 weasel with champion 6/170 engine Thanks all Quote
F-D Zernia Posted August 30, 2023 Posted August 30, 2023 I will be starting my engine for the first time soon. I found vendors for plug wires, coils, alternate style new carburetor and ignition parts. These things in my minds eye should work. I can list what didn’t work too. When I test these products I will post. Not everything that is Studebaker Champion engine works with a Weasel. Plug wires, coils, distributors, starters and generators are unique to us. The cars of the day were 6 volt systems and nothing is interchangeable. All is not lost though. The parts do exist, I just have not tested my ideas yet. Also I have joined the local Studebaker club chapter. One of the authority’s on engines is in my chapter and I use him as a reference too. When I have a running engine on test stand I will share the results. Fred 1 Quote

OZM29C Posted September 1, 2023 Posted September 1, 2023 @dragon FWIW, I would suggest that you give this company a call and see if they can make a custom HT lead set. https://vintagewiring.com/product/studebaker-m29-amphibious-tracked-vehicle-weasel-complete-harness/ Quote
numa Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Hi! Sorry for my english, i'm french... I would need your help to know the référence of spark plugs which fit with a weasel m29 engine . Around 1942 i believe. This engine equipes a jeep willys hotchkis manufactured in France in 1957. Thank you so many time for your help and right answer. Amicalement, Numa. Quote
Patrick Tipton Posted February 18 Posted February 18 Greetings. The Weasel was originally equipped with a 6 cylinder Studebaker Champion 6 engine. Did someone install a 4 cylinder L-134? Quote
