    Ignition trouble with cj7

    You SHOULD have 7 at the coil. That's because of the resistor in the power wire going to the coil. With only 7 your factory ign module shouldn't fry again (unless you got a bad one) anytime soon. If you were to take out the resistor (the wire going to your coil actually IS the resistor as it...

    Ignition trouble with cj7

    You can swap in the whole HEI dist assembaly that would include the module, OR you can do the TFI mod and only swap in the GM ign module (like the module that is used with the HEI system). (least that's how I think it goes, my GM module's on my hunting jeep at my parents' so I can't get a part...

    National Anthem

    Needs to be sung like it was written. "Artists" now like to redo other people's music (AKA puff daddy) and claim it as their own and think they are being "original". Singing the Anthem is an honor and the people who are singing it should sing it as it's written. The words should be what the...

    Ignition trouble with cj7

    Re: RE: National Anthem GM module will supposedly hold up better (longer) than the stock unit, which is notororious for crapping out. I was kinda ticked when the guy "rigged" my jeep up with a new module (he just bolted it to the passenger fender) but it's been that way for a long time and I...

    Ignition trouble with cj7

    go over to jeepsunlimited and there's a thread running right now on ign modules and it has a wiring diagram on putting a GM HEI module in place of the jeep module. The GM module will hold up a lot better than the stock Jeep module.......

    YJ paint job cost?

    RE: New pics http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=159846 Stay away from maacrap. Check with your local hot rod guys and local mechanic for good paint guys who won't rape you. My paint guy retired from the GM dealership about 10 years ago and paints in a little metal shop in his...

    road rage wrecked my DD today....

    yeah, sometimes when you have a close one you're just so relieved you aren't dead you think "the damage isn't that bad" and you just thank God you're alive. It's a little different when someone is purposely ramming you and someone is asleep at the wheel (both are equally dangerous, but the guy...

    road rage wrecked my DD today....

    RE: Re: Suggestions... Well, the neighbor cop came over today and said my "assailant" came in to report an accident yesterday at the Fayetteville PD. They arrested him on felony aggrevated assault. He told the officer who wrote my report that he "bumped me", then changed his story to say his...

    paint hardtop at maaco?

    I put my top up on saw horses and sprayed it right there. You can use rattle cans at about a 45 deg angle so you don't have to flip the top on it's side or anything. It's easy, just scuff it with some sand paper (scuff, not sand, and any grit will do), wipe it clean with a damp cloth to get...

    road rage wrecked my DD today....

    talked to the police today. He said the tag # I gave them (wasn't 100 % sure if I got it right) came back to an address on the road where the guy was going to turn left. It was NOT a tag for the pickup that hit me, so either I got the tag wrong and coincidentally the tag I gave the police...

    road rage wrecked my DD today....

    I can see where someone would find that funny, it's not really funny to me but I can see where you're coming from. People in NW arkansas are crazy on the roads. I just thought Memphis was bad, but the hillbillies up here are just nuts. In east Arkansas, everybody drives within 5 miles of the...

    road rage wrecked my DD today....

    Well, I went to ace hardware today to get four bolts ($1,25) so I could attach an aftermarket carb air cleaner base to my factory air cleaner assembaly (MC2100 swap and the aftermarket cheapo air cleaner I had didn't satisfy me). I'm on my way home on a 4 lane road and this jackass in a Z71...

    paint hardtop at maaco?

    RE: Air intake Well, I didn't see any point in base coat/clear coat and whatnot on a trail rig. It looked great (he does an excellent job of prepping the vehicle, where Maacrap swiped it with some sandpaper and sprayed it). Maaco didn't even take off the "jeep" stickers in front of the...

    attn: Robrt-Stephens

    what else can I say... Robert, you are too kind. Right now things are going ok. Luckily we had money in savings and it will be enough to cover all the expenses from the delivery with some to spare for the next emergency. Right now I get to keep both jeeps by giving the "IF we ever get into...

    TFI upgrade Q's

    that is what I was going to suggest. You can definately run 12v to a blaster or similiar coil, and it will remain in the stocklocation. I left my stock coil on the engine and put the TFI coil on the fender. If my TFI coil quits I can just hook the stock coil up and it will get me home. If I...

    paint hardtop at maaco?

    Rear bumper - its GO time! Nope, you guys just aren't finding the right painter. I rolled the tan CJ on the left about 10 years ago. It was originally gold. I took off everything I didn't want painted (flares, lights etc) and likewise completely stripped the interior (the dash was...
