Ah oh. The story has changed. Yes, get the correct carb on there.
So this on a carb/engine that was otherwise running fine until recently? Ideas to investigate: Sinking float? Failing needle/seat assembly? Or...
I had an hurricane four with 5.38s and an overdrive, stock willys mb tires and suspension. It was just barely able to make enough power to unwind...
Had a noise like that on a Hurricane motor, turned to be a cracked belt pulley at the crankshaft end.
Paper t-stat gaskets always fail me. Just get the surfaces clean and flat, apply good rtv (permatex high temp), install and refill. No gaskets.
Just to chime in. Are concerned with the strength of the C shackles? I used to be, they just looked odd to me. But I've heard it from many jeep...
Thanks, that makes sense. Kinda like my signature line, when you change something, you gotta be willing to do it so as to minimize whatever...
Thanks Tarry. The illustrations help a great deal. It looks like the overall width is one problem and the offset if positive can keep your width...
LOL, 28 million, gillion, dollars... True, for a priceless piece of history, machinery built by The Greatest Generation, the value is beyond...
Sounds like we look at this thing differently and hopefully we can walk away from it friends. My comments are based on overall driving...
Well now, I am not trying to start a mud slingin' contest but my comments are not without validation or substance. I have experience too. And, if...
Hmm, "any tire over 7 inches wide with any stock rim and a dana 25 has been a problem". This must be why I never perceived any "problem" with my...
Thanks for all the heartfelt replies. So far responses to the CL add have been "nibbles" no one has committed to even looking at the MB in person....
Thanks Gunny, that's one of the things I've been mentioning to my dear wife. If I sell it, it'll be gone, I'll be sad, and if I were to want...
Howdy All! The crank pulley finally let go on my ol' willys and it got parked. Bought another pulley right away and then let 'er sit without...
Free is great. At least you "start out right" on the investment side of the equation. And, pretty much everything you do will be an improvement...
Will do, sorry about the highjacking. It's going to be a couple of months from now I reckon, but it'll happen eventually.
Awesome answer Oldtimer... I'll have to dig this up when I research the drum scuffing my backing plates... Most of the hardware is from CJ3a...
Yep, we call that project creep. You can use 11'' brakes and still keep the jeep looking stock. But, that does extend the project. Oh, and more...
Thanks for the FC and dizzy pix folks... After asking about the FC I sorta remembered those crazy looking rigs... There are a few of 'em buzzing...
