    Cannot get blower working 2000 xj

    Hi long time no see! My 2000 xj blower won't blow. Resistor is new. Blower is new. Switch panel tested with dvm and IMO isn't the issue. When doing 80 mph, the heat blows hot through the vents or floor, OR if I switch the center vacuum dial to AC it blows cold, but only if I'm going fast...

    Buying a 76 cj7

    Hi there! Been a while, sold my jeeps while back but now I'm considering another. Randomly found a 76 cj7 recently and the price is awesome assuming the seller is truthful. Says it will need full brakes, like everything but the pedal. Haven't physically seen it, only in pictures but I hope to...

    cj rear crossmember body mounts rusted out HELL P

    Almost done with this jeep. I learned recently I need to replace the rear cross member and C-channel thanks tto rust. Basically the body is unable to attach to the frame at the 2 rear mounts. So when driving it is loose and noisy. I bought a few 36" pieces of C- channel to replace the body...

    Wanted 4 bbl intake for 304

    Hi there. I'm rebuilding the heads for my 304 and I want a better flowing intake for when I put it back together. Ideally I'd like an aftermarket edlebrock but honestly just want a better flowing intake. Thanks, Ryan

    SBC in a cj7 with quadratrac and offset rear amc20?

    I've hinted before how I wish I had a SBC 350 in my cj instead of the AMC 304. Cheaper power, abundant parts locally, and a ton of aftermarket support, plus I know it better. Anyway. The other day I was attempting to fix a exhaust manifold (header) leak that was driving me insane. After removing...

    need seats, any recommendations?

    This cj I bought has a beach seat which at first I liked but its kinda slippery, especially on turns and since I don't use doors I'd like to have my bum firmly in a seat as I make a hard right skipping through a yellow light and not be hanging on by a seatbelt and a steering wheel. I'm just...

    cj steering box options

    My steering is terrible and just plain unsafe. While taking the box out the other day I realized why. The shaft (sector shaft?) attached to the pitman wobbles, the coupler at the box is shot. The upper joint that meets the column under the master cylinder gives the wheel 10 degrees of play...

    electric fuel pump for AMC 304

    I need an electric fuel pump for a 304 2bbl w headers and open exhaust. The one on there is shot I believe as it pumps nothing but makes noise like a fish tank pump. Basically just the gph needs for the motor and I'll get the rest. I may go big and stick a psi regulator in line so I can adjust...
