A helicoil would be your best option. It is true that JB Weld is not as gas friendly, as stated by 51 CJ3.

For the front knuckles on a FC, same chassis as a CJ5, Zero weight grease is what the Jeep Service manual recommends. It is expensive at 35.00 per...

We just batted the front hub lube issue around last week. Google "knuckle pudding" for a lot of discussion about the stuff that goes in there. ...

I have heard of drilling and tapping JB Weld. There are a lot of success stories doing it but I have never attempted it myself. As long as it isn’t a...

well the one carb that i tried is a disaster, and it goes thru 2 gal in about 20 minutes,,, the exhaust end is total black and full of soot, ...

Those are the sizes I am familiar with. Carter may have made their own hardware.

Aerokroil followed by PB Blaster are my favorite penetrating oils. A mixture of 50% acetone and 50% ATF beats anything commercial though.

The Carter YF used 10-27 screws, not 10-24, to put the top onto the body. It was not uncommon to see 10-24's cross threaded in place. JB Weld fixes...

It depends how much meat is around the bolt hole. You can do one of three things to fix the threads. Drill and tap for the next size larger, (but...

Thanks for the advice guys!!

NEW QUESTION??? Carter YS carb. Seems to have 2 different size machine screws used to assemble these things. I have two of these carbs they have...

Broken bolts or stud removal is a bit of an art. On a recessed stud, drill and easy-out is your best bet. A plumbers torch and good penetrating oil...

Got back in the shop over the weekend...no luck getting the broken exhaust bols from the block, tried welding nuts to the existing bolts but they...

If the model numbers haven't changed, it should be a 29062. I quick online search didn't come up with any rebuild kits, except for the newer hubs on...

The quick and dirty answer is, yes you do need the PCV hooked to a vacuum source. http://www.cj3a.info/tech/pcv.html Willys employed a closed...

Did you figure out this swap from dual action to single action pump? I am wanting to do the same on mine.

Thanks for the replies guys. Yes, it is an aftermarket pump. Since I no longer need the vacuum can I go to a single action pump? How would the...

The fuel pump on you A1 will work, but as you already figured, the vacuum lines are attached to the fuel portion of the pump. The diagram that...

I don't think this is an M38A1 fuel pump. See the attached image of an original M38A1 pump. Someone swapped something on your vehicle....
