OEM shoes and brake cylinders have widened shoe tips and screw slots to ensure the shoes go in the correct way. The shoe lining is shifted to favor one end. The FSM illustrates the shift.

Inspect the cap to confirm it's designed to allow fluid to get sucked back in to the radiator. Earlier caps didn't have that feature when collecting tanks didn't exist. My '73 did not come stock with an overflow tank.

@Devil's Slide Doug Someone solved this fitting problem for his tank, as explained in the following link: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/new-fuel-tank-pesky-fuel-fitting.998345/ You could change the barbed fitting he used to 5/16" by changing the part number: 104-0506C | 5/16" Hose x 3/8"...

Look again. Connection 1: hose I.D. 5/16"; Style barb; Connection 2: hose I.D. N/A (it doesn't connect to a hose) Type: female NPSM (National Pipe Straight Mechanical threads) Thread size: 1/4" (pipe) The issue with this fitting is that it appears to use NPT thread pitch for 1/4" pipe: 18...

The fuel filter you have is not the identical filter to the OEM one for 09/71, but IMO it is appropriate, since it supersedes the original, and does away with a threaded outlet connection. Note that your original bracket was intended to support the glass bowl style of filter. The OEM filter...

Your current fuel filter arrangement has been changed to match the 7209-7901 version shown in the fiche picture posted by @timmyisinthewell. The original filter, which includes a glass bowl to separate out water, is shown in post #6 by @Living in the Past .

The ones I got came coated with a blue sealant.

@cruiseroutfit Note to Kurt: It appears you are not charging enough for these little shims. I suggest you consider raising the price to $75 each, thus making the shipping charge less painful. Alternatively, charge $41.95 each and state, "FREE PRIORITY SHIPPING!!!!!"

It's apparent you're under informed on the current costs of shipping. Based upon USPS rates, Kurt is passing through shipping without any handling charges. I suppose you could avoid the $12.00 fee if you drove down to Utah and visited the pick up window..

@Trialsallday These comments only apply to 1973 model years onward, with rag joints at the steering box. If your horn had been working before through a different switch, without the original horn relay, then the wiring must be altered in some manner. The three wires at the horn relay...

Don't get lost in the weeds. If the coil is good while the key is in the start position, it should be okay in the run position. Did you verify that there is voltage at your coil+ with your ignition switch in the "on" position, but not cranking? Another quick test of the coil/distributor/spark...
