Ride on bb! Keep it coming.

Welcome home soon ltp! I hope you have a safe and speedy return. Thanks for guarding our freedom from afar.

I think you would love a Willys project. Lots of help out there and parts can still be...

This is a great place to visit.

Every time I pour in the beer, it comes out my nose.

Thank God there aren't a lot of wires under there Steve. The toughest part is crawling underneath. I am getting to the point where that is painful for days!

It is a bad thing TJ. Keep and eye on her for sure.

Wow a new one leaking. That is always a tough deal. You don't look there first because you don't expect it. Glad you got that fixed!

What a great project! Thanks for bringing us along.

Mark, see if there is a very small amount of voltage at the + on the coil. Like millivolts.

Haha status quo, Bob is all mixed up! OK I am pretty sure on this one. You have a "3 Wire" GM 10SI alternator. The wire that is not hooked up would have gone to the indicator light on the dash. The...

If you have nothing in the circuit like a radio for instance that might have a capacitor in it, the only place I can think of for a significant leak would be in the charging circuit. In an alternator...

I keep getting confused between witch one of these we are writing about! I was on Mchambers post and then I was here and now....

Haha as LarrBeard always says, It is amazing how we always seem to...

Yes I agree. I think step one is some verification. Set the Mutlmeter to Volts and the range to 20 or whatever you have near that. With the engine off measure the voltage across the battery...

Gerry, it sounds like the speedo head needs maintenance. Theirs a place called Bob's Speedometer https://www.bobsspeedometer.com/1/120/index.asp that might be able to rebuild it. I think Larrbeard...

The white "reducer" is the ballast resistor. It looks to me like it has 3 wires on it. One wire should be coming from the ignition switch on one side of the resistor. On the other side of the...

I did not see the use of the Ballast resistor on the other side of the air cleaner with all the wires hooked to it.

Larry, are you saying they are jumping off the ignition ballast resistor to...

Lake Tahoe, man I miss that place! A million years ago I called on the auto parts stores in the area. Beautiful isn't close to describing Lake Tahoe. I met Chuck Yeager in Grass Valley not far from...

Take some pictures of what you have. Some close ups of the regulator, the back of the alternator, and the battery. That will help a lot.

I am 5'7" and not that heavy and the steering wheel is right there! I stare right at the top of the windshield. I think it's safe to say people were much smaller back in the day.

When you say you...

What a great start. I really envy you guys who get the "good ones". I think you will find the electrical is as basic as it gets. Your Jeep is on the "cusp" of the 12 volt era. Sometime 56' to 57' the...

Well don't just go! Maybe someone will pick it up and stay on the forum. You could watch it go from afar.

Well said gm, well said!

Not sure what happened to that link. This is their indoor cover. They make a few with varying protection levels.

Mark is right on. It is the drain hole on the bottom of the bell housing. The gear you see is the flywheel ring gear. Oil dripping from there on a Jeep is like the sun shining on a clear day....
