Anyone use an electric fuel pump on a carbed motor? I'm looking for opinions or insight. During my last Paragon escapade, my Jeep died going up the steepest hill of the day. A couple people attributed it to overheating as I was running hot all day. However, I tried starting a couple times...

Something that may be completely unrelated... Anyone else put the top back on? When I had my TJ, my gf drove it a lot in the summer... which gets a lot of flash storms here in PA. When she put the top on, she would zipper the back windows, but not put the vertical tab in the slot (the one...

I'm pretty sure you can just buff that out.

I'm surprised no one has chimed in on this, yet. So, I'll give you what limited knowledge I have. First of all, are we talking about a factory tach (which is rare) or an aftermarket one? If I'm not mistaken, they work differently. Check at night to see if the light in the tach works, too...

Thanks for all the info / input. I'm going to keep my eyes out for one. The goal is to keep mileage off the car and frankly I couldn't afford my rent if I had to put gas in the CJ. I can live with ~20 mpg. Something with FI to wheel should prevent me from having to be dragged up a hill...

Before knowing better, I bought the ones from Quadratec which are the Mopar parts. They're nothing special other than the exact fit. However, as long as the printer uses the right font, there's no reason you can't get an exact fit for much cheaper. So, yeah... the Mopar part is a huge waste...

I'm debating buying a 4 cyl YJ as a commuter to keep some mileage off my car. I had a couple questions before I start looking... Did the 4 cyl get Fuel Injection in the YJ (or just the 6 in '91)? Do ALL 4 cyl have 4.11 gears or just certain years? Ultimately, can I get more than 22 mpg out...

I had the 2.5L four in my TJ. The only complaint I had was on the highway. Around town and through dirt/gravel roads, it did very well. That being said, I'd never buy another one. It was severly underpowered for highway use. So, as a daily driver, I grew weary of driving it because half...

Hey LV, I had similar issues with mine. I got a new accelerator pump and replaced the choke spring. It starts a lot nicer and stays running with less warm-up. As a bonus, it idles and drives a lot smoother. Maybe places to look before the electric fuel pump. Parts were really cheap, but I...

Bump... 'Cause I re-asked the question to make sense... and I've been on Jeepz too long to beleive you guys don't have opinions. -X

(Try 2) 360 Oil pump replacement Alright, let's try this question sans the couple of Saranacs... I have an AMC 360 with some seriously degrading oil pressure (~10 at idle... 0 on real warm days). 4 Wheel Drive hardware sent me part numbers for gears and an oil pump cover (which is different...

I bought mine at Ebay from one of the merchants. I surfed until I found the best price / shipping combo. Nice mirrors, but truth be told, I'll never buy them again. I know they look cool, but you can't see out of them worth darn. It's a more expensive option, but consider getting TJ or YJ...

Yep, I've picked up all my orders. My patience won't let me wait for shipping if I can pick it up. They say to give them an hour, but everytime I've gone, even the next day, they have someone go pick it when I get there. It's nestled in a corporate park and a bit tricky to find the first...

I'm going to take a guess that it has to do with what transmission gear you're in. To the best of my knowledge, the chart assumes a 1:1 transmission ratio. That's 4th gear on both my 4sp & 5sp manuals, but I'm not positive in the YJ. Are you in 3rd? Junkpile posted a link to a great site...

So, I'm right in thinking that light blue should be hot when the ignition switch is depressed. Which wire would have the fusable link? I'm getting power up to the switch, but not out of it (light blue). It wouldn't matter if there was a fusable link between the switch and the solenoid, I...

After replacing my header gaskets, my CJ7 has decided that it doesn't want to start on it's own anymore. Now, I'm not sure what the two have to do with each other, but this is what I've got so far. The on position gives power to everything (radio, guages, etc.). If you jumper the starter...

That's a good question. I have 4" from shaft to radiator (with the fan and spacer removed). The Taurus fan motor alone is 3.5", giving me next to nothing once it's on the shroud. While I'm not positive, I beleive the radiator is stock, however it is something I had been thinking of replacing...

Does anyone know where I can get a shallow water pump for my AMC 360 to give me a little more clearance with an electric fan? Sorry for the double-post. Junkpile and RedRooster have been a lot of help with my setup, so I wanted to make sure they saw the post. Any help or advice is always...

I have a 360 in my CJ7, but I figured I'd post here since the motor's out of a Wagoneer. Does anyone know where I can get a shallow waterpump for my 360 to give me a little more clearance with an electric fan? Thanks, -X

Hey Prarie, I'll give these words only because your 5 had a 360. :-) If your repore with the folks here at Jeepz is any indication of you, I'm sure you have a great group of people that will support you. A job is only a job... you can make more money. Family is family. While your gp's may...
