I have a 304 V8 that has been completely rebuilt. All new gaskets, seals, piston rings- the whole thing. I have an oil leak dripping from the bell housing. It has leaked since it has been running again. There was a leak in the valve covers and I got that one stopped with new gaskets. I have...

I have only one wire in the Painless wiring harness for the brake pressure switch, but the connection has two wires. How do I connect these? Can I connect the one harness wire to both wires from the proportioning valve?

Need help connecting plug for brake lights to Painless wiring harness. I have a '79 CJ-7. The wires coming from the brake lights are red, yellow and white. I know the red wire is for the backup lights and connects to one of the white wires on the corresponding plug on the harness. What are...

I am trying to install a Painless wiring harness in my 79 CJ-7. It has a 304 V8 and I do not understand the connections from the electronic ignition to the coil to the solenoid. The diagram in the instructions mentions wires that are not present in the harness. I am not sure what the resistor...

I am trying to re-connect all the lines to the intake manifold and carb and charcoal canister. I have yet to find a pic that has the same connections on the intake as my 79 CJ-7. Its a 304 and it seems that none of the pictures I have found have the same intake manifold or carb. Really...

I have a rear fold and tumble seat as well as the brackets for my '79 CJ-7. My question is where do the side panel brackets go in the back? How do you go about getting them into the correct position? I don't want to drill holes and be wrong! Thanks in advance for the input. :???:

I am rebuilding this engine and the camshaft I got calls for 1.82" installed valve spring height. The specs in the Chilton manual says 1.812" installed valve spring height. Is this too much of a difference in this measurement or will it be fine to reuse the valve springs if they are not worn out?

I think I have re-installed the calipers upside down. The bleeder screw is on the top now. The brake hose is too short now when it wasn't before I took them off.

Can't find something that will fit into the fill plug of the AMC 20 rear axle on a cj7. 1/2" wrench doesn't fit - too big. It looks like a hex, would this be right and what size would it be?

Saw this Jeep (I think) on a college campus today. Thought it was the coolest thing I've seen in a while. I was wondering what it is and what year.

There is a hole on top of the axle casing. What is it and why is it there? Is there a part missing here? What do I need to put there?

I'm having trouble finding the right size locknut socket so I can take the front brake rotors and shields off the front axle. There are two locknuts and I can't find the right size socket. I need something smaller than a 2 3/8". I think it is a 2 1/4" or 2 1/8". Any suggestions on where to...

I need the clips and shims for the front and rear leaf springs on a 79 cj7. Anyone know where I can get them. I can find the entire spring assembly but not the small parts for the springs. HELP!

I am really frustrated right now. I am trying to overhaul my t-150 3-speed transmission out of my 79 cj7. I cannot for the life of me get the transfer gear locknut off the rear of the mainshaft. I don't have an impact wrench so this is all manual and elbow grease! Any suggestions on how to...

Taking everything off the tub to get it painted. Having lots of trouble with rusted bolts, screw heads stripping out, and not having the tools on hand to get the job done.

I am about to start taking everything off the body of my 79 cj7 so I can get it painted. Any suggestions on the best way to go about it? I am also going to rebuild the transmission, the carburetor, and work on the frame (clean and paint). Any advise from those who have been through this would...

I changed the belts on my 79 cj7 and it is still squealing. The alternator pulley can be turned inside the belt, which I assume can't be good. This jeep has been sitting up in a barn for a while so I was thinking that the pulleys all need to be cleaned well. Am I on the right track or is...

About to start working on the T-150 transmission in my CJ7. Any words of advice or special tricks that would help. The mechanic I had look at it says that the 2nd-3rd synchronizer needs to be replaced. I'm not sure exactly what he means. All the drawings I see don't have an actual...

Just wondering if there are any other rear seats that will fit into a cj7. I will need brackets as well as the seat. Any suggestions would be great.

I am working on the brakes for my 79 cj7 and Chilton says to bleed the brakes from the farthest away from the brake master cylinder to the closest. But 4WD magazine and the website says to bleed the cj from the front to set some proportional setting correctly. Which is it? I need a new brake...
