1048973 I've been thinking about this as well, mostly due to the sheer amount of things in my jeep that are going to be needed to either upgraded or just plain replaced due to years of abuse. I found this interesting knowledge base article that deals with engine swaps in older jeeps...

1048978 torx bolts are amazing when you are using a drill to fasten/loosen things in a hurry... The heads on the bolts hardly ever strip and they seem to stay on the bit better... However keeping track of all the pieces can be a pain in the arse![addsig]

1049108 Okay, I think i can help here a little, as i just went through this whole discovery process last month. First you turn the manual hubs on the front wheels CLOCKWISE to engage them. Next you have to be moving forward SLOWLY with the transmission IN GEAR (1st or 2nd) when you push...

1049144 yeah, If you bought it used and it doesnt need major repair, then it aint a jeep! Don't sweat it... Do the repairs, then do more repairs, then do more repairs, soon you will have a jeep that will be indestructable!!! Whats funny is when i bought my '82 CJ, it was painted BRIGHT...

1049145 Although it is possible to get the stock carter bbd to behave normally, it is generally not worth the time and constant fiddling... I have the same setup and installing the webber was like a night-and-day difference. Performance was better, mileage was better, it idles smooth now...

1049173 leaving your manual hubs engaged genereally isnt a good idea. I mean you COULD do it, but you would be putting alot of un-necesary stress on the front differentials and T-case, not to mention really taking a hit on fuel economy. However, I have seen that there are kits that allow...

1049254 I found an interesting article in regards to leaving your manual hubs engaged or not. This person seems to think its not really much concern to leave them locked if you think there's even a remote possibility of running into bad roads. Its a good read anyways...

1049389 There are actually articles in the "HOW TO" section of this site that deals with the carter idle problem: http://www.jeepz.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Howto&file=engine_carbfix Genereally the carter is a piece of junk... if you can afford to, it would be wise to consider...

1049486 http://www.driveajeep.com These guys have complete TFI conversions including TFI coil, Large Distributor, Distributor adaptor, and new wiring. [addsig]

1049524 Okay, bosch are good? Any particular model or part numbers i should keep my eye out for?? I've also heard good things about "iridium" plugs and these "tripple platinum" plugs from spitfire that have V shaped electrodes on em. Anyody know if they are worthwhile or not? [addsig]

1049596 sounds to me like your hubs arent locking... just make sure that they are turned completely clockwise when you want them engaged. If you've already done that, then there might be something wrong with em (although its unlikely that BOTH would be broken) [addsig]

1049702 I don't think i'd be doing that in the winter... wait for warmer season...[addsig]

1049736 Okay, i've been keeping my eye on the undercarriage for about a week now, just waiting for all the residual drips to stop because there was alot of oil that got sprayed all over the place by the driveshaft. I was just getting it to stop the odd drop or two overnight when i went out...

1049867 Best bet is to do a couple of net searches on something called the "Mangnusson-Moss Warranty Act" I dont have the full details in front of me right now, but its basically a set of laws that were put in place to help people like ourselves with warranty claims on vehicles that have...

1051785 white creamy and sticky? now now... thats not what you ORIGINALLY posted dingus I mean my jeep has been extremely happy with me since i put on my TFI, but not enough for that to happen Anyways, if water in the crank case would be the cause then that would explain a few things...

1051787 Yeah, the oil is normal colour, thats the first thing i checked because i know that if the oil is kinda milky that means coolant in the oil. The oil was fine, just this crap caked on the oil cap that caught my attention. As far as the valve cover, I've already put on a replacement...

1051824 I've never seen a turbo on any stock AMC engine. That's not to say that it can't be done, I mean the compression on a the 4.0l and 4.2l is low enough that you COULD pull it off, but i doubt you would really want to. Also judging by the commonality of engine swaps it would be much...
