I am certain you are spot on Senior Chief. Cooking oil is a good fuel source if it is warmed up, but it makes everyone riding and passing by hungry for French fries.

Hamm is out again for another ice cream season.
The Heep is down right now. I pulled the starter and generator to get them cleaned up and bearings put in the generator. I haven't had time to...
56, larrbeard is 100 percent correct in regards to educated idiots. I too work with engineering, and some of the most educated are punctuation illiterate. If you wouldn't have told us that you...
You don't have to be a subject matter expert to teach. Whe I was in school, our metal shop teacher was a retired Army drill instructor, and the auto shop teacher was a former Chicago cop. The world...
The building is half the fun. The other is the years of smiles you'll get from driving Flossy.
Fuel has come s long ways since then. I had a John Deere B that had a small gas tank to warm the engine up then you turned the main tank which was for distillate, (low grade fuel). The deuce and a...
I really like the "light bar mount" design and execution. Well done TJ.
Well done 56! You'll have the body mounted in no time. Your carb rebuild looks good too for your first time. Now you can get it mounted up and tuned to perfection.
Bmorgil would know better than anyone when it comes to hopping up engines. His daily runner pickup sounds amazing with a great throaty note.
As with the links provided in my previous posts,...
A little more food for thought;

The key thing is, (and I'm sure you hear this all the time) enjoy this time in your journey through life. The skills and knowledge that you have been honing and acquiring through the course of this...
The only thing I could find was that there were 7.4:1 or 7.8:1 compression heads for the mountains. The casting would have a number cast in it as 7.4 or 74, 7.8 or 78 on the top/passenger side of...
Those are some good looking kicks!
You'd get way more thumbs up in the Jeep then Jungle Pam on the staging lane.
Keep at it 56. You'll be able to drive your Jeep through your Senior year. I drove my wagon my sophomore year and it was nick named the aquarium. It was a blast to drive around, but with the low...
Great question! I do not know off the top of my head, but will do some research to see. I know on the L heads, a common "upgrade" was to use the head off of a Kaiser Super Sonic head. Our Heep...
The best day of fabricating, is when you stand back and see how far you've come along. It seems to take forever, but the struggle is worth every stitch.
Sounds like you are good to go. The experts say that one should never draw a transmission bell housing up to the engine with hardware, and in most cases that is true if you do not have a mechanic's...
Spectacular work there. I can see why Jay Leno had them do work for him.
True Bmorgil. If any Jeep had as many drill bits stuck out of it as been stuck in it, it'd look like a porcupine.
Looking great 56. I like to verify the body mount/hat channel locations before making everything permanent, even if I'm nearly certain to where the original was located.
The carb is looking...
That's why our Heep will stay in the raw. Rain is no problem, just buff it down a couple of times a year to get the sheet metal shine to come back. The engine bay is crusty with mud stains now, but...
There is only a couple of conceivable absolutes when it comes to a Willys restoration. (1) The replacement body kits need a lot of work to make them fit correctly. (2) Solex carburetors rely on the...
This is a common issue with the Solex carburetors. If you get them tuned for off idle cruising, they often stumble at idle, and vice versa. Most of the time, the Solex is set off to the side and a...
I have found that dropping parts into Evaporust, (sold at Wally World in the auto section) will take most corrosion out of the nooks and crannies of the carb. You may have to apply a bit of heat...
