I have found a source that rebuilds vacuum advances. So will be sending mine off for a rebuild. Thanks to all that have responded.

69jeepcj, Could I trouble you to look at an item on e-bay. Looking under electronic ignition I found a Pertronics, delco points dist 1162A, Ignitor module 6 cycl. $69.95 Under compatible vehicle it shows a 1971 Jeep CJ5 with the 225 V6 engine. Is this what I would need to convert to an...

Thanks for the info. Always something when dealing with vehicles forty fifty sixty years old or older.

J C Whitney has a universal vacuum advance for distributors. Does anyone have any experience with this product? It is made by Taylor.

Need help in finding a source for a distributor vacuum advance for my 1971 Dauntless V6. I was told by PO that it was a Buick 3800 Engine. Once I found the casting number, etc. it showed up as a Jeep engine and if I calculated correctly it is a 1971 model. Casting Number on block back by the...

Believe I had water in the gas tank, etc. As I worked on checking the spark plugs, timing etc. it seemed to run better each time I restarted. Neighbor who just retired as a Certified Mechanic said that with all the rain we had lately that is what he would guess was wrong. Bottom line engine...

Thanks for the replies. I have checked the spark plugs and none are fouled. I borrowed an inline spark checker and will check with that in a few minutes to insure each plug is firing. I am planning on checking the timing after that, To check for intake leaks I can spray starter fluid or carb...

My 1952 Willys CJ3/M38 with a Buick 3800 V6 has occasionally backfired upon deacceleration. Friday it was hard to start and once started it would miss on acceleration. Once the load was not as heavy it appeared to not be missing but could hear backfires from exhaust. What suggestions are there...

I have a 1952 Willys CJ3. Looking for a winch mount to attach to the front frame which measures 29 inches outside to outside. Most universal mounts are 36-37" long and would require cutting. Does anyone know of a source for a winch mount 9K to 12K that would fit without a lot of modification...

Lights are working! Took the light switch out and realized it was not wired anything like the wiring diagram. Did not change a thing since everything was working before. I replaced the circuit breaker from new switch with one from old switch and "let there be light". Guess I will see if this...

Just went back and looked at order for the switch which I installed in December. It says it has a built in circuit breaker. So does it make sense that what I am hearing is the circuit breaker popping like it does when the load is to heavy on a house circuit? That could also mean a short...

You are right no fuse box and only one fuse shown on wiring diagram for flasher. I do not even have that one. I will try jumping around as you suggest. It is weird though that running lights work but not headlights. Yes popping sound is coming from switch. Just one pop and then 2o to 30...

It is a CJ3B after s/n 35522 which came 12 volt from the factory.

1952 Willys CJ 3. I finally figured out my turn signal problem with help from you all. Now I have a headlight problem. I can pull the switch out to the parking lights and all is fine. When I pull it out all the way I have no headlights and I get a popping noise from the switch or relay. The...

Thanks for the input. These diagrams should help with the issue.

Are you all saying that the relay and the flasher unit are one in the same? If so I do have a flasher unitjust hanging loose under the dash board and it does show in the wiring diagram. I may not have the right bulbs. Maybe I caused my own problem. When I wired the T/S and brakes I had both...

I will look again for a relay, etc. None shows on the wiring diagram for a 52 CJ3. Or would it be built into the t/s switch mounted external to the steering column?

Front t/s do not light up or blink at all either way. I am not sure if the t/s switch is oem of aftermarket. Thanks

I have a 1952 CJ3 that I bought in November 2012. (12 volt system) None of the rear lights were wired when I brought it home. After messing trying to get everything to work I determined that I needed a new headlight switch. Once installed it did not take long to figure out the running lights...
