The Premium Gas won't hurt it. Don't waste your time siphoning it out.

Check out Kilby.... ::Kilby Enterprises::

That circled item is the distributor. There are numerous things that can cause a poor idle. I would refrain from just poking around in the dark as you could make the situation worse. Has the Jeep been like this since you owned it? Did the problem just start? Did it get progressively worse...

Here's my little CJ5...

I pay about $24 a month for liability on my 80 CJ5... and about $60 a month for full coverage on my 04 Duramax. It would've been less but wifey got slammed twice for speeding in two consecutive years. :roll:

It's also gonna depend on which engine you're running. In 1980, the GM Iron Duke was available. That has a GM bolt pattern. If it has a 6 cylinder, then it will have the AMC pattern. Also matters which transmission you have. The T4/T5 pattern isn't the same as a T176 although some of the...

As mentioned, do some research. However, I think by far, the most common source of TJ "Death Wobble" is a sloppy track bar. Have someone jump in the rig, fire it up and carefully turn the steering wheel side to side while you take a close (be careful) look at the track bar to make sure it hasn't...

That front axle should be about 60"ish wide between wheel mounting surfaces. You'd definately have to outboard front spring hangers on the frame in order to run the axle full width. However, I think if you narrow the long side about 4" (it's been a while since I researched), you can reweld the...

If you've got the drivetrain out of the frame, you can measure diagonally across the frame in a few places. Pick the same points along both frame rails and then measure diagonally to a point on the other frame rail. Repeat on the other side. If the distances are different, the frame rails are...

Since your CJ has the "short nose", it's gonna be a tight fit for a V8. I did a SBC swap into a 71 (also had the shorter nose) and ended up running the short water pump and accessory drives. I also ended up cutting into the grill and shoving my aluminum radiator up against the headlight buckets...

Hi Dan!! Best advice I can give to a new Jeeper is.. Join a local Jeep Club. All the clubs in the HR area are full of good people.. with a lot of knowledge. Great way to learn about your Jeep, see what modifications look good/not so good, go on organized trail rides..etc.

I'm not positive if they have any for the Dana 30 either but there should be some floating around since Dana has made them for the 44.. the 30 is pretty much identical.. just smaller. You may even be able to take a spindle to a machine shop and explain the situation. Any machinist should be...

There are also tapered shims that actually sit under the spindle. My front D44 had them on one side. You might be able to Google "camber shims" or "spindle shims"...etc. I would imaging they make them for D30s also. Between the shims and the offset balljoints, you could probably dial at least...

Thank you kind sir!! I'm thinking about stripping my buggy down and building another one.. lighter, more power, cleaner lines. :twisted:

Yeah.. I was swamped with work. I plan on making the Annual though.. I love that run!!

Hey Richard!! It's a small world!! :D

I've welded a few 4 and 6 cyl headers.. usually charge a case of beer if the person removes it and brings it to my shop.

Maybe I missed it but what brand lift springs are you running? All springs are not created equal. Your higher quality springs will have a better spring clamping setup to allow for better droop. Those springs that have the clamps "wrapped" around all the leafs usually don't flex as well. Any...
