I have a pretty good idea of what the kid did with this cj I was once young with a 4 buy in the woods. The trany I will make small adjustments at a time. Im going to put on a new front pipe and see how it sounds and take it from there. As of right now I don't have much time to work on it. But...

The pipe mates up to the manifold. I think what happens as the pipe gets old it gets thinner and starts to leak. Either way its time for some new exhaust parts its getting loud. I also have to adjust my shifter kick down linkage I want it to drop down into second gear sooner when I start up a...

Sorry I haven't be out there for a while. I still have not set timing I will soon. I also have to replace front engine pipe I cant understand why there is no donut or any gasket of any kind between the exhaust manifold and the engine pipe. The glass pack also has to go it just doesn't sound...

Its 3/8 Try to run as much hard line as you can. Rubber line from sending unit to hard line up to fuel pump. The rubber line can start to deteriorate after time it is easier to replace small sections if you have to. Also I have had rubber lines balloon out after aging.

Install a Holley.

It should be simple now that I have the new Holley carb.

What should the timing be set at on my 1985 258 six ?

Does anyone go in the woods with their jeeps anywhere near the Auburn area.

What did you hit to do that. I would agree take a good look at everything under there for possibly other damage.

Got the trany detent lever welded this morning and spent the rest of the day putting it all back together. So far everything seems to be back to the way it should be. Not bad getting this thing apart and repaired in two days. Knock on wood.

Found the problem with trany. The detent ball bearing was in the bottom of the pan. A common problem with tf999 after wear and tear the detent lever to the shaft starts to wear making the lever not tight and square on the shaft. Also were the detent spring and ball bearing slides into valve...

Get under the dash with a flash light and have someone run the hose on the outside of your rig and see were its coming in.

Sorry I haven't replied for a while. Right now I am working on the hard doors which also need a ton of restoration. When I have these done ill get on that trany. I needed to get the hard top on and the doors done it will be cold weather before long.

That sound good not having to drop the valve body. I think that the skid plate holds everything up under there. Right now im working on restoring one of the hard doors but I think ill set this aside and look into the trany. I do have a good friend that is also a gearhead and has some experience...

Greg have you dropped the pan and valve body on one of these tf999 tranys and seen what it is im am looking for? I would like to get as much up front help as I can. I just don't want to unbolt something and have all kinds of stuff fall out not knowing where it came from. Thanks

Your welcome Greg. I think the next thing to work on is the trany detent issue but that is gona mean dropping the pan. That's a job I have to sike myself up for but either way its something that has to be done. I am basically saving this cj7 but I try to make it a hobby that makes it more fun.

I agree with what greg92 says that's a good way to get the project going. I to will help answer any questions you may have if I can. I am sure this project can be a success your in the right place.

Holley carb is on runs great right out of the box. This cj has a lot more power and the manual choke is the way to go. Very happy with this setup.

Thank you for the response its good to learn the solutions to these difficult problems. I think this should help others out with similar problems. I know that I learn from it. Thanks again.

It was like Christmas today adapter plate came. I had to do some modifications using my die grinder with carbide cutting tools. Also had to use the stock spacer with the adapter plate in order to keep the throttle blades from hitting the manifold. So now its like a mini high rise. Tomorrow I...
