    Faulty ballast resistor?

    Had a no start issue and checked that I was getting fuel from the pump and all checked ok. Checked the voltage at the coil and was only getting 3.5 volts. I have a ballast resistor in line and get 12v on the hot side and only 3.5 on the side going to the coil. I assume that is the problem. I use...

    Pinion seal leak and loose pinion nut?

    I noticed my pinion seal leaking and tore it down to replace the seal, but when I went to loosen the pinion nut it took really no force at all to get the nut turning. From everything I have read this thing is a ***** to get off and so I am wondering if the nut being loose is what is causing the...

    CTO switch?

    I noticed that the CTO in my jeep had a vacuum line disconnected and plugged and was wondering how this might affect things? The line going to the EGR is still plugged in. It is a 2 port CTO and the EGR is connected to the bottom port. Should I just connect the upper port to a ported vacuum...

    Never assume anything

    Figured out the reason to all my problems with my jeep and all the money I spent trying to fix the issue. Dropped my tank to put the fuel pump in there and found a 20 gallon tank with a 15 gallon sending unit. :x:x:x Holy hell!!!!

    Going a little nuts, need help!

    Tuning and idle? SO I finally got around to deleting the smog junk out of the jeep and rewiring the whole thing due to the PO screwing everything up. Anyhow, I am trying to get it tuned up and a few things are causing my OCD to ramp up. To start with the tuning, I began to go after setting the...

    Ballast Resistor?

    During my rewire, I am trying to decide upon using the current ballast resistor from mallory (The ugly white one) or going with a ballast resistor wire. I am a little unsure of which to go with and which would do a better job of dropping voltage to the coil. My charging system already puts out...

    Deleting smog?

    The PO of my jeep (CJ7) AMC 360 upgraded the exhaust and when he did he deleted the cats (catalytic converter). I live in western Colorado and there is no smog requirements here and being that I am under the hood cleaning out his rats nest of wiring, I figured I would also delete the rest of the...

    duraspark ignition module?

    I have this old ignition module still hooked up on my jeep and was wondering what it is being used for? When I bought the jeep, the PO had installed a MSD dizzy and coil which would already have a built in module. Can I safely just delete this? I'm trying my best to clean up a rats nest of wires...
