Great information Bmorgil! Check out some vintage tachometers to ease the pain of too much information in a stylish wrapper. ...

Ha ha! You do remind me of a few I have known. Nothing wrong with driving by ear. I truly understand the feel thing and use it myself, as all do once...

My friend Bmorgil, I do not deserve you! That was exactly what I was asking. Thank you. However, to drive you completely off the edge, I'm a...

Start scratching you needed a "Tach-o-meter" for a long time. You are seriously looking at specific dyno rpm data and you are using ??? to determine...

Thank you. So Mrs Google says: Engine – Setting The Ignition Timing Correctly Before attempting to check/adjust the timing, make sure the air...

Nice graph! The most important info anyway. The torque and horsepower show smooth flat lines. The horsepower climbs nicely but on a fairly steep...

Thank you bmorgil. I'm going to get to that point. Makes me puke to think I would dyno an old racehorse, but a bit short of that, a full map in,...

Az I can say I have had drivers tell me some things, but not the things you just told me. However I think you are saying it doesn't lug like it used...

Upped the idle. Worked like a charm. Everything works better including the clutch. Yea I know. Nothing to do one with the other. Except it does. I...

I found an all original Jeepster that was in a shop for 40 years. It was a great help in identifying the original parts for my restoration and where...

I agree mrgt, what a classic look. I remember in the 60's thinking how "inferior" that old stuff looked compared to our cool looking stuff we "young"...

Lewis, the idle circuit is probably the culprit. I have written a few times about that circuit. Even in a brand new old stock rebuild kit that...

That looks so cool and vintage.

Similar to the early gladiator SJ j series, except you've got voltage! Those are both cool looking

you can officially say "it runs and drives". Now there's some debate about not saying it steers or stops. But that thing definitely runs and drives....

Well we've finally got success! Replaced the fuel tank & complete distributor assembly, and now runs no problem! Will use only non-ethanol fuel for...

I found a couple of photos of Truck and Wagon Dash styles. The early trucks had the machine finish face with white instruments, and the wagons had...

Thanks bmorgil, I'm amazed as well how far this project as come. To see it move is quite fun for me.

Super options from gm there Joey, both of them. Original hubs if you can.

Fantastic! Wow is that cool. I love it. It is unbelievable, you designed and printed every part in it.

It moves! https://youtu.be/AQ8VHKzdLEI I needed to do some changes to the the frame to accommodate the shorter leaf spring. Now...

How we doing on your build?

I agree with Bmorgil. I would remove the broken bolt, and return the out of speck hub. If you run into a problem, drop me a note with your address,...

Joey, the parts sound out of dimension. If you are certain you have the right bearing races, they are held to some pretty tight tolerances, that...

Yet another Hiccup. So I had some issues with a broken bolt on one of my front hubs. The bolt is for the axle flange and I just could not get it out...

Thanks for the information. I found the parts I need at http://willysdistributors.com/

Thanks all. Will do and will keep you posted. Still, the noise dampening is something I just gotta do.

Any little burble or change in RPM on a single engine over water would make you draw up a bit..... Bmorgil is right on the money on the carb tune...

The moon is up, the darkness is down!

"You get tuned in to your toy and you start listening for things that aren't there." You even know how it is supposed to smell; anti-freeze,...
