On mine everything was worn out. I pretty much had to replace everything in the linkage. The worn out clutch linkage explained some of the damage I found in the transmission from grinding gears!

I would tighten that clutch linkage up 56'. It will give you headaches in adjustment if the components are worn. Replace or repair anything that will cause you lost motion.
Like gm said, the...
Yes 1/8" is the size. The purpose of the hole was to help let the air past a closed thermostat, preventing steam pockets.
Hahaha! Man that thing is hard to find now. It is available from other sources under some other names but basically, it is a RobertShaw.

You are definitely getting the job done there 56'! You have it down to where you can perform any repair you need to do. Your welding skills get better everyday! You have to love it when you get the...
Sometimes you have to work with what yo have. If you can heat the bracket and "fit" it, that would be my choice. On mine I had one bad stud. I removed the old stud from the bracket and replaced it by...
That thermostat is still hard to find. It is sold as a Milodon 16400. Expensive little beast. It is rated as full open at 160.

The thickness of the body mounts varies a little bit. The original Jeep parts manual lists 3/16" as the #1 body hold down, 1/2" as the #2, 1/4" as the #3, and 1/8" as the #4,#5 and #6 liners. When...
Like gm said, anything hard rubber will work. Depending on the thickness you need, cut pieces of conveyor belting also works extremely well. On my Jeep the mounts are the original thickness that came...
Looks great 56', you are doing well and making excellent progress. The body tub is very close to the transfer case. The rubber body mounts should be just enough lift to clear the transfer case by a...
There are all kinds of Jeeps running around in every stage of repair or restore you could imagine. I think they all contain a common thread, Lots of Fun! The most important thing you could do with...
56', like you said your "putting Flossy to work". That floor will work just fine and it ill probably always have something sitting on it!
The original floor wasn't the smoothest thing 56'. I would say gm's method will get you close enough.
Definitely a find on the tailgate. No rust on a scripted tailgate is a rare find indeed.
Teaching is a noble profession. It is in my opinion the most important thing some humans can provide to others. It creates evolution. Without it we don't survive very well.
Your a little too hard...
I agree with gm on all counts!
The accelerator pump should be checked for exactly what you are looking at 56'. It is imperative that the accelerator pump delivers fuel as soon as the throttle...
You are really doing well on the project 56'! A lot of progress there. You hit it right on the money with "....Smiles per gallon". I think you can tell, the old guys are diggin' your work!
You are definitely on a roll there 56', not long now. Plus or minus 1/4" sounds like the factory spec! You did the carb the best you can. It sounds like you scrubbed her out pretty good! The good...
Great progress there 56'! You can see it coming together now.
I have rebuilt many carbs with a couple of spray cans of carb cleaner and the straw they give you to direct the blast of cleaner and...
It looks just right 56'! You definitely saved yourself some money on the DIY there. Those radiators might as well be made of gold for what they cost, and cost to repair.
I had an awesome ride in the Heep gm! I can honestly say off roading in a vintage 6 volt CJ, no top no doors, standing up hanging on to the windshield, is an experience worth repeating, many times....
Dawn dish soap is magic. peeJ wishes she wasn't so clean, not allowed out of the garage on anything other than warm summer days!
The screws treads in the throttle are brass and staked (smashed)...
The throttle plate and choke plate will be just fine. Polish them up and make sure you run it from time to time and it wont rust again!
The ultrasonic will do a nice job. That is what I use on my...
Whatever you do 56' as I said before, be sure to get some very small wire and push it through every passage you find. In addition make sure the jets and nozzles in the rebuild kit are also clear. It...
One thing to remember to do when rebuilding these carbs. Be absolutely sure you push a very small wire through all the circuits Especially the individual Jets and Tubes. I have written before about...
Another good looking skin graph there 56'!
