Have to sell the jeep. 1981 CJ5, 258 Inline 6. Gets 20mpg and the engine has been through a rebuild 1 year ago. Blazer heater upgrade. The jeep is blue with a denim blue soft top and 2 bikini tops plus the windjammer. The transmission is a T176, shift well in all gears with no grinding...

did you use a spray can or spray gun? Nice looking job. I am planning a new paint job for my '81 CJ5 in the near future. NICE JOB!

Does anyone know where on the Dana 300 T case I should look to locate the vent? I believe mine is clogged and would like to clear it. Thanks.

I used to get 18 MPG everyday. This past weekend I took care of an exhaust leak at the manifold, ran alot better and my muffler was finally put to full use. This week I have been getting 22MPG in my '81 CJ5. I am running the original Inline 6, 258. Could repairing the exhaust leak have...

swamped stories I am just about ready to swap my Carter BBD for the motorcraft 2150. Question is, what all will I need to complete the swap? ( adaptor plates, etc.) I appreciate all of you help. Planning on swapping out my old rusted exhaust manifold at the same time, so with the new carb...

Need to change out my ingition cylinder and am hoping someone here can shed some light on how to do it. I can get one from Quadratec for 18.00, but then what? MIne is stripped and is no longer working. Please help. Joel

Can anyone give some instruction on replacing my exhaust manifold? I have a new gasket set and the exhaust manifold, just need to know how to do it. Thanks, Joel This is on a '81 CJ5 with a 258 I6 and regular exhaust, no header.

OK, here is the problem. When I take off in 1st gear, if I do not let the clutch out just right, the front end shakes like every bolt is going to fall out. Ya think it may be the engine mounts? What else should I check? Last problem (for this week at least), my front end is wandering very...

Today was great, 70 degrees, sunny with a few clouds, just perfect. This is the day I have been waiting for and took full advantage of it. Even though my "girl" is a little on the old side, she still runs well and enjoys a topless day. Guess that is what being a jeep owner is all about...

Does anyone know the web address to Besttops' clearance page? I cannot find it, but I thought someone listed it here before. Thanks, Joel

Can anyone tell me where the stock radio antennae was placed on the CJ5's? My CJ is a 1981 model. Thanks, Joel

I am currently trying to decide whether to keep my '81 CJ5 all original or modify to suit me personally. The dash is my main area of concern right now. Soon I will be getting a stainless dash and need to decide what holes need to be punched, etc. My wiper knob is kind of in a bad spot, it...

I recently installed a stereo in my '81 CJ5, gives me something to listen to on my daily hour commute to and from work. Question is, I have an old CB 6' whip antennae mounted on the rear left and it kind of looks like it was meant to be there. Is there a way to splice this in to my antennae...

my email is 1981CJ5@cox.net Thanks for the help.

Anyone else have a CTO with only 3 stems? All 3 stems on mine are plugged, is this OK or should I re-run vaccum lines as original? Next question, does anyone have a vaccum diagram for a 3 stem CTO? I am running a stock 258, w/ a Carter BBD. Thanks, Joel Happy Mardi Gras!!!!!!!!!

Bounty, no cat on this one. I just happen to have a replacement exhaust manifold and gaskets laying around in the shop. The current manifold is rusted to hell and back, probably does not need changing, but I am sure it will look better and run better once I replace the manifold and gasket...

Bounty, I do not know the cause. I changed all of the hoses and thermostat last July and flushed the radiator well also. I have retarded the timing a hair thinking that this was the cause. Here is my problem, in the morning here in Louisiana lately, it is around 40-50 degrees. She does OK in...
