1072070 Glad you went with the new mounts. Small investment, considering. Have fun. Scott[addsig]

1072298 Setting it to the marks on the balancer is not the problem but with the engine speed. As the RPMs increase so does the mechanical advance. I have had great success setting by ear in Ford trucks but this is really picky. I just want to get back to a solid foundation. Without a tach...

1072306 Are you talking about the snorkle? Seen a few around town and every one looks to be on a vehicle whose idea of offroad is pulling into the driveway. They were made for a reason and they work, but is it something you really need? If you are in some DEEP mud or water it could be very...

1072320 Sorry 'bout that! Here I am running my mouth about something that doesn't even apply to my Jeep! Gotta watch out for us CJers :-D Scott[addsig]

1072321 And this only happens in first gear? Scott[addsig]

1072606 I stayed with the 2-out filter to avoid any pressure problems. I ran new fuel line from the pump around the valve cover and moved where the return line was by bending it out and back. Just had to run a longer piece of connector hose. I have had nothing but problems with fuel pressure...

1072829 I agree, sounds like a distributor or plug wire issue. Get a spray bottle and start the engine. Spray each wire and then the distributor to see if you can recreate the event. If the wires cuase it change them, if its the cap clean it and seal it. Scott[addsig]

1072842 If I remember correctly the rebuild kit comes with pretty good instructions. Just take your time, clean the parts thoroughly and reassemble according to the instructions. The 2BBL is much easier and forgiving than a 4BBL. Many more adjustments. Just have everything that you need ready...

1072862 Got the tach but kept it. Need it for my Ford FE engine anyway. Got the timing sorted out without the light or the tach - did it by the ping method. I needed to get the timing gear because I had no idea where I was. Scott[addsig]

1073035 With or without the computer? Mine moved from 9 to 13 BTC without the ECU and a Weber 32/36. Scott[addsig]

1073036 Mystery solved! Clogged catlytic converter. After a straight pipe and a Flowmaster my power returned and I'm running 13 BTC @ 1600RPM. Zoom zoom. Scott[addsig]

1073584 If you want a Bikini Top get a Bestop, you'll be money ahead. Had mine for 6 years with no problems. If I don't have it on it's in the back - always with me. Now if you're worried about your Jeep getting wet or yourself getting wet, I'd say get a soft top. The Bikini doesn't offer...

1071170 A fluid change is on for this weekend! I was going that route anyway but wanted to hear if any of the more seasoned users had any tips or things to watch for. I'll try the fluid change first and see if I notice any difference - if not, well, back to work... Thanks for the reply, Tug...

1071171 Well I think I have solved my problem. It was almost too simple and I'm afraid to get too confident about it but it worked. I regrounded the horn. That's it! Horn works, no pings or dieseling AND the guages that had the sporatic needle movements have stopped. I would love to see a...

1071172 Did you check/change your timing after the install? Did you regap the plugs?[addsig]

1071186 Bunch of good info to be found here. Go to previous posts and find answers to many of your questions and even do research on parts and equipment you're thinking about purchasing. It's great to learn from the "Been There Done That" crowd. Scott[addsig]

1071196 I believe that the blue wires are different and the brown wires are different. Give them a close look. Solid blue or solid brown will be your negative and a blue or brown with a stripe will be your positive. As for sides, I think blue is passenger and brown is driver. Soooo, if I am...

1071042 Found this forum a few days ago and man, what have I been missing! Here is my dilemma. I have an 84 CJ7 258 that has been modified by removing the Carter carb and all of the smog/computer hoses, connections , etc. and put in a Weber. Everything was great for a while (weeks?) but gas...

1071084 After years of relatively few problems with my CJ7, things are starting to give me trouble. I have a T176 transmission with a Dana 20 and after a hard pull in 4WD I have great difficulty getting it back to 2X. What should I look at first to determine the cause? No clutch slippage...

1071173 I've waited long enough, tired of the oil seepage and want to make the move to an aluminum valve cover. Lot of 'em out there, any better than another? How many holes need to be tapped? Scott[addsig]
