    Ok...... Now things are starting to making more sense or are coming together rather. You're removing what appears to be a Cen-Tech (early design) wiring harness, so it is your Jeeps second at least re-wire job. I'm not certain how the EZ kit runs through the firewall? Does it have some kind...

    Electrical

    Hey Dmichaell...... You may want to consider getting "Deutsch Connectors" (4-pin) for your tail lights. They are a universal, sealed and a positive connector which will have a male and female end much like the OEM CJ harness, I know JEGS carries them. You will have to cut the stock ends off your...

    76 CJ5 project.....could use some advice.

    Hey Joe.... The crank will have to out and pistons have to come out the top. They won't clear the crank supports from the bottom end.

    76 CJ5 project.....could use some advice.

    Hi Joe..... Greg and Flatie have covered what I wanted to say for the most part. The magnaflux test is pretty much standard at any reputable machine shop. I have used crate engines in the past with good results. For my current project, I choose to rebuild the 258 by hand. Not only was it...

    86 Laredo resto/mod

    So, I had a (second one for me) rotator cuff surgery and I'm about 14 weeks post op. Starting to get some use of my right arm/shoulder back so I've been working on my build. This past weekend I got the engine/trans installed, the hyd. clutch installed, brake booster and heater pellium put back in.

    1986 Jeep CJ Ignition.

    It's a GM Tilt Wheel ignition actuator rack, as the photo link shows. You can get the repair kit made by Dorman at Advance Auto or Auto Zone or you can search Ebay.

    1986 Jeep CJ Ignition.

    Before you try and bypass the ignition system, you may want to check the actual ignition switch (and the actuating linkage)on the lower steering column. If you look on the lower column, between the dash plate and bulkhead at the firewall, you will see a switch w/ a connected wire harness on the...

    oil leak????

    It's hard to tell if it's coming out of the top of the dip tube or from the pressure sending unit? But since it's splattered on the pulg wires, I'd guess it's coming out of the top of the dip tube. I'd wipe everything down to see where it's coming from. If it's be pushed up the dip tube, you can...

    Cj7 dui help

    What engine do you have? I'd start with the factory timing (for the 258, 6-9 degrees) and work towards the best for your setup. Remember to open the plug gap to .40-.45. Later, you can customize the timing curve but with the better units ( like your Davis) the pre-set curve on the vacuum...

    Cj7 dui help

    It's fairly straight forward and will vary slightly depending on what year we are talking about...... At the firewall bulkhead for the wiring harness, you'll find a large (8-10 gauge) red wire w/ a white tracer stripe that goes down towards the OEM igintion module (it's the small box mounted on...

    My new scrambler

    Very nice Scrambler Sir......... Someone has fabricated the interior door latch mech. Hopefully they did destroy the OEM setup/linkage in the process. The part that Terry linked for you would the correct door hardware for your ride.

    carburetor for 258cui

    The Motorcraft is a good choice too as Bounty has mentioned. It would be far more cost effective an a Weber.

    CJ7 Steering Column Dilemma- Oh Crap!

    Thanks, appearently the 80's Chevy Blazer/C10/Surburban columns are similiar. The 80's era Trans Am columns (GM A body)will work to or so I've been told. It seems regardless that the intermediate shafts will have to modified in some way. That's not a huge problem for me, I can fab up the part...

    CJ7 Steering Column Dilemma- Oh Crap!

    Hello All, So, in the process of rebuilding my Cj's steering column, I broke the lower colmun shroud (well that's what the Saginaw manual calls it anyway) into about four pieces. It that's plastic cover that snaps into the metal sleeve, the manual says these two parts are one piece but I can...

    CJ7 transmission question?

    You would need an adpator from Advanced or Novak (right around $500 or so), but the question is why would you want to do that?
