not sure how to respond. My original plan was to NOT do road trips, have certain amount of driving allowed on insurance (great price, full coverage...

The primary coil reading is on the high side at 3.5 ohms. It should be at 1.6 ohms on a 12 volt system. The secondary side is well within spec at...

I often wondered how well the tight steer worked. The pin is spring loaded, to keep tension on the sector, if I read it correctly. Seems like a...

Thanks for the tip. I pulled the carb off and took the top half off, surprisingly it wasn't too bad in there pretty clean. The float seems to be in...

Still working on this but have an issue when cranking, if I go from ground to the positive side of coil I see 12v while cranking. If I measure...

AS a cherry on top of the cake, I used a Tite-Steer to replace the sector shaft tensioner on the '48. That gearbox worm and sector had always been...

A. Probably Carter YF. B. Most Carters for F/L-134 only need about 1.5 PSI at fuel inlet to keep things happy. Electric pumps tend to run...

Managed to get a couple hours in in the DJ this morning! Got the fuel tank installed, fuel line ran, and the fuel pump hooked up. I have it on...

hey, thanks, they got a gasket also. cool

Pelago, At one time were you looking for the outside steering shaft tube? If so, I found a new one for $20. when I was looking up the gaskets. ...

I agree, but unfortunately these companies bought out the rights to produce the reproduction parts, and they will cut corners to produce a product...

JUST DONT GET IT!! I put 90W140/GL4 gear lube in search engine and get everything but what i want, did get a purex product description but not...

Yep, 90W140/GL4 gear lube - the same as elsewhere. The bolts that hold the cover on the steering gear box are backed up by copper crush washers...

wow, but he never said the number to order the lube, he just said he used thinner, but thinner what? the forums got a bit confusing all the...

Thanks. I guess what upsets me about it all is when they tell you it is for your Jeep they should tell you it might not work. Very misleading. I have...

When shopping for replacement parts, it is in your best interest to shop around. Most all of the electrical parts for Willys/Kaiser/AMC Jeeps are...

Take note of which steering box takes which number of shims. That will help to set the preload on the sector input. If the play seems proper, then...

new question, gear box, have two of them, and believe can rescue enough pieces and parts to rebuild one for steering. what weight lube in the...

I like what you have done.

Good deal. Glad everything went together we'll, and is performing to your satisfaction.

well, all the parts and pieces in, xfer case mounted. checked all bolts for tight. started it up. ran for a hour and no puddles on the...

Here is a quick clean-up. It is not unusual for folks who have just found a barn Jeep or who are starting to work on Grandpa’s CJ-3 to ask what...

Welcome, and thank you for your service! We look forward to seeing your Jeep.

I would imagine that the John Deere had a ballast resistor installed, dropping voltage down when the starter was used. That's why it started when...

Here is an electronic ignition story only casually related to the subject, but interesting. The wife and I were sitting in a doctor's office and...

Well, there aren't a lot of things in the cooling loop. Pull the lower radiator hose and pour water through the radiator to get an idea if it is...

If only I had unlimited time and money.....
