As Ben points out all the pieces are shown in the TM 11-904H (Sept 3,1943). (not found in the July 45 manual)

So it appears that the top plate should be permanently tethered to the "Track for Sliding Top Plate" via the two chains attached to the top plate with two inner of the four bolts that attach the stiffening bar to the underside of the top plate.

Now the question is what is functionally of this arrangement in the operation of the Power Unit?

Maybe help assure that the top plate is in place for better cooling or weather protection?

Any thoughts?

Thanks Ben, very much. I am in need of the correct air cleaner for the Marvel Schebler Carburetor. And thanks to other guys for letting me piggy-back this thread!!

On your chains what is on the final link that completes the loop, or a closeup would be great?

Hope these help

PE-95 did not have a distributor with vacuum advance. Where is the vacuum line attached. Can you post pics of the engine?
Here's a link to the ones I got. The hose is broken off at distributor and it ran up to port side vacuum at intake manifold. I'll get a better pic when I take it out of the shelf with the forklift.

Thanks Joel. Here's mine, bought it for the trailer it was in. Got it running and it sounds beautiful.
You might not believe this, but I have the same trailer, that had a PE-95 in it, from the AEC in Oak Ridge, TN. and painted about the same shade of grey. I think I have a line on an AEC PE-95, and trying to get it this weekend.

Question I have: it seems like the PE-95 is kind of heavy for the M-101 trailer. Any thoughts?

Also, any one have experience with the earlier version of PE-95 that has the Ford ONY motor? It's not the same as the Wily's motor, totally different motor. Specifically, are there rebuild parts available?

Far, far too many radios to list. Yes, it's all a disease - a glorious disease.
