other than the difference in mounting screw hole location will the cowl vent from a wrangler fit a CJ7 Jim

While searching for info on leaf springs I kept running into replies to posts suggesting body bushings. Ok I'll admit this is a new one to me. I'm guessing if you wanted to add tires to big to fit under your fenderwells you could raise your body up a bit with the bushings. What if you didn't...

The wife is having difficulty depressing the clutch enough to not grind the gears. She has the seat all the way up and needs just a hair more to be able to engage it all the way. Moving the seat will not work because the steering wheel is almost in her lap as it is. I guess I could add a piece...

Is the stock CJ7 rear bumper strong enough to hold one of the aftermarket spare tire rack/combo equipment carrier. Or does it need to be replaced. I have seen a couple of racks that look like either there is a piece of the rack that mounts over the bumper or replaces the bumper. I want to try to...

I,m sure some of you are following the FI install follies. As you know my wiring harness was severely butchered. I bet I don't have 10 inches of original wiring without some caveman splice or wire replacement. I need a wire that is hot in run and start. I have tried the red w/white tracer as...

Cant find a pipe plug to use. What goes in the hole just above the manifold heater hole. Any ideas. the only thing I found close was one of the connectors on an electrical box that holds the conduit on it. I just started trying to use anything I could to get the thread. Its fine pitch and bigger...

My jeep is a mix match of 77 and 81 components. I am removing the Prestolite distributer and installing the Dura spark. I have the engine at TDC and marked where the prestolite dist was pointing to the #1 spot. The Dura spark will not line up in the same spot. However I can stab it in and align...

it looks like I'm on my way to a fuel injection install in 7 to 10 days according to the customer service rep at 4WD. I was reading up on the install at a couple of places and kept seeing verbage on hooking up to and changing the wiring configuration on the duraspark ignition. My wifes jeep does...

A tune up, carb rebuild, new vacuum lines, new fuel sending unit and fuel lines have increased the reliability and performance of the CJ. Speed has increased from 55 max to 75 mph. I used an infrared thermometer and measured the inlet and outlet of the cat last night and verified that the cat...

Ok One more little turmoil to add to the CJ wont pass smog an the fuel pump left me stranded for a while and finally limped home. Last night when verifying that the fuel pump was bad I had my son turn it over while I kept an eye out for fuel pumping from the fuel line. It didn't so I started...
