RE: Re: Extra Wide Tires I would say the carb is too rich, flooding, blown power valve, choke stuck, or a possible leak in the inside of it. Are you running a fuel pump with more than 5 psi pressure? this could make the needle and seats not shut off. Are the float levels set correctly? If so ...

I have 2 adapter plates for sale. They will allow you to use a ford autolite/motorcraft 2 bbl , or a holley 2 bbl on you jeep cj and replace the junk carter. The holley or motorcraft carbs can be found on AMC IHC, fords , and many others. I will take $15 apiece for these adapters. I will...

so the tsl radial is the better for dual purpose ? Thanks bounty. Jackal

Anyone running super swamper LTB tires? How are they on the highway? hard to handle, noise , wear, balance, rough riding like a bogger? let me know because I like the looks of the 34 x 10.50 x 15 's. But I want to know the truth and not a magazine article. You guys always shoot straight with...

Thanks to all for the info. I'll get some pics when it's done Jackal

I am ready to do a spring lift. If I go with 2 or 2-1/2" of lift, will I get all of the vibration troubles that I hear about? What brand are some of you running? Will I need to modify driveshaft lengths? It is a 78 CJ7. I know, I know , I would like to go with the 4" lift , but with the...

I was getting 8mpg with a worn out 232 6cyl. Now my 350 chevy is getting 15 mpg. My father -in-law can't figure it out. I told him that the 350 doesn't have to pull as hard to catch traffic. No weight to pull. Later, Jackal

Thanks tug, I appreciate the info. Later, Jackal

I got some KC daylighters for Christmas. They have the small changeable bulb . I guess they are halogen. I bought a set on E-bay and the yhave a full size sealed beam light in them. Can anyone tell me the difference in these two? which is better , brightest, ans more durable? All I've found...

Have him hold the rim up on its side and take a picture of it with a measuring tape across it. Tell him you want to make sure that you and him are both measuring from the same area. This way he won't be offended or think you are doubting his ability. Just a suggestion :D Jackal

He sold me a power steering box for a cj and it is in great shape!!! I only paid $40 plus shipping . These sell for $100 or more on e-bay. He let me have the pittman arm, the frame bracket, and the old hose ends so I can match them up. It was packaged great. I understand some things happen and...

Merry Christmas to all of you. May God Bless you. Jackal

Thanks again LBR. I have searched all over the net looking for this kind of information . I knew by the pressure it had to be something else. I wondered about the proportioning valve and everything else. I am a machinist ,so I will mwke a nice adjustable pushrod with Heim ends and a large...

Thanks LBR. That sounds more like it. I did have to modify the pushrod to fit the new master cylinder. The first MC was really presurized under the cap. I could pump it with the cap off and it would stream 2 foot. It looked like the Beverly Hillbillies " up through the ground come bubbling...

Ring & Pinion change what will LABOR cost me? Something that works for me . In the machine shop trade when you have a tool bit that has a torx bolt in it and it strips out, it is usually flush and you can't get vise grips on it . I always try to find an allen wrench that will fit in it. It...

Wait a minute!!!! I may be thinking wrong , but isn't the carrier on a 73 model CJ5 offset to the passengers side???? All may not be this way, but I was thinking they were, because the Dana 18 transfer case was not a through drive type. The gears were moving all the time to provide power to the...

I have a 78 Cj7. When I bought it the master cylinder was leaking around the firewall. I replaced it with a rebuilt one. It leaked out around the cover. I replaced it with another one and it leaks, too ,around the cover or "lid". I bled both of them as I usuallly always do on other cars. I...
