1043389 my idea would be to go play around in the wrecking yards, you might get lucky and find a good housing. I was wondering, is the blazer blower motor the same but has more output? Do you have to enlarge the opening or what?[addsig]

1053496 Nah, their full of it, if you ask me. There is a 1/2 inch bolt that goes into the block that holds down the distributor at the flange. It's right under your vacuum advance diaphram. I got rid of my pick up type distributor and swapped in a points type. It was out of a 1973 Matador...

1053564 Mine was a 1985 regular cab long bed ford rander, I tore the crap outta it too. I remember one time I blew out the drivers side manifold making it backfire through straight exhaust, it was a blast! Bought it for 2,000, and sold it for 1,400 with the transmission going out and it...

1071161 oh yeah another ??? about buying the rings. Do I figure out what she wants then go back and buy it without her knowing, or buy it with her there and then wait and ask when she isn't expecting it. Thanks...Mikey[addsig]

1071843 Hey, thanks for all the posts on the topic, very helpful. I now know what style she wants. She was thinking white gold, but I only plan on doing this once, so I'm thinking about going platinum. 3 stone, round cut and I want to have it at 2 or 2 1/2 carot total weight with a low...

1072426 Thanks for all the helpful info. I've made my final decision on the ring, here it is. Thanks again...Mikey http://www.bluenile.com/product_zoom.asp?oid=3819&zoom=1&filter_id=0[addsig]

1042420 I put in a 258 in my 83 CJ7 about a month ago. It runs great with only 59,000 origional miles on it. Yesterday I took it to the paint shop, so I drive it around the backyard for a while to charge up the battery beforehand. I drop it off and when I go to turn the key off it won't shut...

1042429 Depending of where you are from....after I get my Jeep trail ready I could use some people to go along with, let me know, thanksMH83CJ7258@aol.com[addsig]

1042517 This kit is about $400 just for a spring over, but are there any advantages to it instead of just buying some perches and welding them on yourself(making sure the pinion angles are correct). I was wondering if anyone has purchased this setup and if so how it was standing up to the...

1042518 does anyone have this setup on their 258?. I was wondering if it was any good. Would you have to set up the carb to run lean due to the extra gas being dumped in just to get it to run correctly. I've also been told that it's a waste of $$$ to do it unless you port and pollish the...

1042605 I have a 258 w/59k on it. When it warms up it won't shut off, I think it is the coil having heat failure. I won't be able to work on it until I get it back from the paint booth. Cold starts are not a problem, works fine, any imput would be nice, thanks.MH83CJ7258@aol.com[addsig]

1042646 I went today to check on the progress with my paint job. All is going well except the starter soleniod melted down. I had been having problems with it not shutting off after it had warmed up. I thought it could be the coil, but now with soleniod failure, I think that might have been...

1042659 is there any reason for them, they'll just hit the roll bar and be useless[addsig]

1046876 Recently I was having problems with my 258 after I got it back from the paint booth. The starter solenoid was melting down and I was only getting spark when the starter first engaged and when it disengaged. Well after tracing wires and reading up on everything I could get my hands on...

1049716 First of all, some history. I've had the 7 since Dec. of 2000. The first day I got it I was taking it apart and stripping the paint. I did all the rust repair (typical rust, rear floor and cut and weld patches in the lower body). Well about a year and a half later, due to my $$$...

1049718 I have a couple........ 1..."The reason I lifted my Jeep is 'cause fat chicks can't climb" 2...One of Curious George sitting there with "Spankey" under it written in the Curious George font The reason the "Spankey" part is cause it's my CJ7's name. I dunno how I came up with...

1057784 I haven't had any tickets or anything in my CJ7 yet, but it's going to happen sometime. I've taken mine out a few times now, but it's still very non-complient with the word street legal. For the most part it looks legal, but it lacks seat belts, windshield glass, insurance...

1057931 Well not to long ago I got my 83 CJ7 painted, about 2 months ago actually. Well I was showing a buddy of mine that hasn't seen it since it's new set of clothes and I noticed something. The paint is bubbling up below the gas filler opening :-x . I was pissed. But the solution I was...

1062823 Ok, a while back I put in a 258 in my 83 CJ7 that has 59k on it. All was well with it for a while. When I got it out of the paint booth I had to swap to a points type distributor to get rid of my electronic demons. That swap worked out great and for only around $45 out of a 73...

1071155 Well, the time has come where my girlfriend and I have decided to get married. We are going to look at rings on friday. I think I have come up with a pretty good way of asking. I was thinking about asking on her b-day in october, getting her a crappy gift that seems like it was last...
