Can i run a distributor from a 84 258 on a 78? I have the motor at T.D.C., but cannot get the rotor to line up with #1 cylinder no matter how much i try, even with aligning the slot in the oil pump I can't get it right. Do i need to use a different drive gear on the dist.? When i do get the...

79 with a 360. starter was bench tested and is fine. cables are new and so is the battery. turn the key and nothing. no click, no draw on the lights, nothing. i have a test light that also tests ground. when the key is off, the 2 center terminals and the one going to the starter show a green...

i came accross a old new vehicle write up of the 79 cherokee chief done by a magazine and they stated that the chiefs had 3:54s. any ideas on that?

i'm picking up my first full size jeep next week and don't really know that much about them. it's a 79 w/ 360, auto. curious about the stock gear ratio and type of rear end. thanks.

i just picked up a great running 89 ford 4x4,351 with 4 speed for free and am thinking about swapping it into my 258 powered 84 cj7. anyone out there do this swap yet?

yeah but this harness was cut and the connectors are missing.

anyone know what wires plug into the back of a gas guage on a 84 cj? thanks.

at least i never gave up on it. came close a few times though!

FIXED! fixed it. since june i've been trying to figure it out. nobody i talked to, WEBER, HERE, DEALERSHIP, OTHER BOARDS, DIE HARD JEEPERS, could firure this out. i did it by punching the side of the fender and the friggen motor died. turns out {are ya ready for this?} that when i punched it...

so i got so desperate i brought it to the dealership today. had their ''old timer'' look at it and he thought it was the computer acting up and messin with the ignition. i then pointed out that i had allready done a ''nutter bypass'' so that couldn't be it. i left without anyone having a idea. i...

i'm already running this . thanks anyways

so that wasn't it . i'm tryin to find a in-line fuel pressure guage to hook up and see if when it sputters i'm losing pressure. then i'm gettin my gun .

a weber can be expensive , but well worth it . maybe try a motorcraft carb from a bone yard if money is tight ?

if it's not , it i'm shooting it .

allright , so i've been thinkin . i ordered a new vacume advance today. if it's not working properly then under acceleration i'm not getting the proper spark and it would cut out right ? when i get off the gas it clears up but maybe not because it has anything to do with the gas supply but...

ok, at idle my tach was bouncing between 600 and 850 so thinking about SENORCOLES post i started screwin with the carb { again ] . 4 half turns out it started skipping so i went back in 1 half turn and it idled fine , this was the first time i noticed anything at idle . took it for a rip down...

the plugs are burning clean and i even wired the choke open after it had warmed up just in case it was closing for some reason . man , i'm telling you guys i'm startin to go nuts cause i JUST CAN'T FIGURE THIS OUT !

what if it's a valve problem ? could one be stuck or even bent , screwing up the fuel going into the cylinders ? even if i was only running on 7 of em it doesn't explain why it idles great or would it ? doesn't ANYONE have a answer ?

so i bypassed the fuel check valve completely and even though the problem is slightly better it is still happening. it's not as bad as it was before , so far anyways , but it still happened. so as a recap........ carb torn down and rebuilt multiple times { once while on the phone with weber }...

i did replace it allready. still doing it .
