Looks like the smoke is about to roll!!!!

Cant wait for that sound bite jb!!!

Still in the detail stuff…. Might just blow some smoke today. Feeling good about firing it up:-)

Cajun this could be a few things but, lets start with the shift rail issue in the transfer case. It sounds like you need to install the shifter and...

Davide I did look at my oil pressure line and it comes from the passenger side up front right behind the timing cover like yours. I did call Chris at...

I haven't posted in a while but I'm still plugging away. Just finished a refresh of the T90 and Dana 18. It was fairly straight forward and I...

Not sure what all might have changed on the dash from 1961 to 19667, but my 61 CJ5 only has two additional gauges besides the speedometer, an oil...

Thanks guys for the replies. It all makes sense what you have said and does line up with illustrations from the Universal Manual. I have bigger...

I don't even like to get a rental car without gauges.

I have always liked having a volt meter and an ammeter when possible.

The '48 truck has an electric gauge and the sensor has failed twice. PITA. There I was on the way to Jeep Fest and I did a gauge scan and saw I...

The only gauge your Jeep originally came with, was the large circular Speedometer gauge cluster. All the lights and gauges are in that cluster. The...

TJones, if you have a better recommendation for the oil port, I am all ears. I looked through your album to see where it could be, but realized...

If it was me davide I would plug that oil pressure line and pick another area closer to the top end to see what the oil pressure is closer to the cam...

I did put rubber under the strap and under the tank. I haven't wired the guage yet but that is a good idea for when I do.

I got a little ahead of myself and forgot to mention that the front pinion seal is in now. Yes, it was much easier to swap those out than get the...

I am one of those people.

A hint: Nice strap - that should hold it in place. You might want to put some sort of rubber at the edges where it wraps over just for abrasion...

I got a new gas tank installed. Steel reproduction and new sending unit and cap. I also ran lines and an inline filter. I made the tank strap out of...

What a nice looking Jeep…or Jeeps as the case may be! ;)

Thank you!

Mike P: You are asking good questions and there are probably a lot of people watching in the background and learning from your experience. ...

Yeah it is not good! No markings a that I can find. It was part of a “good quality” full set that I bought. All the other gaskets seemed good as I...

Yikes! Is that gasket marked anywhere with any kind of identification or, origin of manufacture? That gasket will not even work. The portion of the...

Gotta love the squirrels! I had a cat fall asleep on my intake manifold once. The fan was not kind. Hell of a wake up call when I fired it up for...

Acorns make a machine gun type sound when firing up an engine for the first time of the season, especially when I had plywood stacked behind the car.

I just ordered a Fel-Pro gasket off Amazon. I hope it fits better than this one!

Thanks for the Novak article. I'll poke around for it later today. I had to laugh a little when taking off the mufflers, which were your everyday...

Thank you for the additional info/ clarification. It is much appreciated!

I added more information in an edit to the last post. On the subject of Copper Coat and other sealers on the head gasket,you usually use that stuff...
