    My Jeep is an old farm Jeep from Iowa. It is extremely rusted. There is no solid metal. The underside is especially bad. It didn't even set level on the frame when I bought it. I ran a piece of...

    That would work but I've already spent a ton of money on this Jeep. Mechanically, it's as good as anyone can make it. I need to drive it now. What it really needs is a new body. I don't think I'm...

    I think I'll try a regulator. I just have a cheap $50.00 electric fuel pump on it. It's not high performance at all but it still could be too much.

    Carter vs Solex gas mileage.

    I have a question for anyone with the F-head engine who has had both the Carter and the Solex carburetor. Did you notice much of a difference in gas mileage between the two?

    Thanks

    I need a locking gas cap for a 1956 CJ5.

    Someone siphoned all the gas out of my tank last night. Does anyone know where I can get a locking gas cap for a 1956 CJ5? It has a wider cap than modern vehicles.

    If you are using a Delco alternator, here is a print to make sure it is wired correctly. For that resister, I used a 10 ohm, 10 watt resister but the size isn't real critical.870
