    sway bar disconnect

    1043483 First, you need a set of these. Unless you want to unbolt them every time. the quick pins let you disconnect the front axle from the sway bar and you should tie the swaybar up against the frame out of the way. Also, YJs have track bars that limit travel. some people take them off...

    swap'd in a auto 999,neutral switch hook up?

    1043504 How are you suposed to start it in gear with a neutral switch installed? I guess I'm not the best to answer from a jeep perspective, but I think jeep autos were factory column shift and the swith should be on the column hooked up to the shifter linkage. your back up lights should...

    83 CJ7 Straight 6... Do they have a computer?

    1043537 I'm glad you got it working, I'm surprised it wouldn't run without it. when I started tearing into my jeep, I found the ic's in my MCU were all exploded on the inside of the box. I wasn't even having problems, I was just trying to restore all the hacked up parts from the previous...

    My first big problem with my Weber Carb.

    1045085 This site has some good info They also sell parts. That exploded diagram may be a bit hard to read, but should help some. Things I've found with my weber. A fuel pressure regulator is almost a must with it. Depending on what you read, weber recommends 3 to 3.5 psi MAX fuel...

    Transmission Stuck in 4wheel!! ARRRGH!!!

    1045086 just wanna add some thoughts. sometimes when I engage the hubs, I'll just reach under, grab the front drive shaft, and twist it till I feel it lock. if you have open diffs, you know you have both hubs locked then, if your transfer case is still in two-wheel or neutral. I leave my...

    power band of a 258

    1045142 from about 2 rpms to about 1500 rpms. well, not that bad, I think they list the torqe peak around 1900 and the horsepower peak around 3000. From what I've read, its common for factory ones to run out of breath around 3500, my old motor did. Some say a good a good ignition upgrade...

    HOLY QUARTS OF OIL BATMAN

    1045220 The capacity, according to haynes, for the AMC v8's is 5 quarts, unless you have an aftermarket oil pan. I'm afraid I can't help with dipstick length. Either way, I would try to avoid running too much oil untill you figure out why your dipstick is inaccurate. -keith[addsig]

    broken fuel gauge

    1045221 this might help some. I'd guess the wire broke or came off the sending unit at the tank or on the way there. or a ground at the tank broke. -keith[addsig]

    hmm wonder what that does :roll:

    1045271 I tried to find an online diagram for ya, but had no luck. I take it you aren't using a vapor canister or anything. berretajeeps idea will help keep dirt out, but won't help keep gas in much. the bad thing about venting to air is, your jeep will probably stink like gas and depending...

    So how does a choke work?

    1045368 I think 1980 may be an uncomputerized version of the BBD? here is some info on one particular BBD issue To answer the choke question. Gasoline does not evaporate/atomize or explode well when very cold. one solution is dump a lot extra in to get it going. In a fuel injected system...

    HOLY QUARTS OF OIL BATMAN

    1045529 from my experience, they are normally friction fit and don't need to be sealed, but I don't think they are all the same. On my six it was tight, I had to punch it out from the bottom to not wreck the tube. You may end up clamping on to it and yanking hard to get the old one out, or it...

    clutch replacement....

    1045829 well, I don't wanna re-invent the wheel, so I did a google search. This is a good article on replacing a clutch, although its not it a jeep. I don't know what size clutch you have. also, if your clutch is literally "smoked", you may wanna check the flywheel for hot spots/ cracks. It...

    steering shaft question???

    1046147 If you are talking stock, the are not designed to be adjustable. they are designed to collapse in the center only in an accident, so the the steering wheel isn't rammed through your chest. that stings. They also usually collapse a short distance at the rag joint at the steering box...

    Transmission Opinion

    1046927 hmmm, I never heard that the 700r4 was significantly weaker than a TH350, I always got the impression it was equivalent. I have heard it is more difficult to rebuild and is less forgiving in a rebuild than the TH350. Personally, if you know it'll bolt on with out much problem, and...

    T-5 Transmission

    1046928 If its stock '84, its not. I believe that the WC didn't come in till '87 +- a year. I also don't believe WC ever came in a jeep. it -is- a better transmission, but not -that- much better. better bearings and a few parts upgrades. I'm looking for a site on it now, I lost my link...
