BLACKMGTD, No, I did it as quickly and carefully as possible and only lost about 1/4 cup or so of coolant when switching out the old sending unit.
What confuses me is that the coolant level was set months ago, and this overflow problem didn't start until recently, right after I replaced the...
OK, here is what my 79 CJ5 is doing - when I drive it for any amount of time, any distance, in any temperature, as soon as I park it and turn off...
Wow, thanks guys. ;) I now know everything I need to...I think.
Thanks, I'll go get one. I see where the turn signal switch harness clips onto the main harness at the middle of the steering column shaft,...
I'm wondering what is involved in installing a new turn signal switch on a 79 CJ5 with a tilt column and manual transmission. I bought a new...
Thanks for all the compliments guys. Chilly, you are right with the "Ha Ha, he said DONE" comment. I still have to hook up the winshield...
The problem with both of those sources is that they only trace VINs back to 1981 (that's when VINs became 17-digit codes used by all...
I'm afraid I already know the answer to this question. I just finished a 2-year frame-off restoration of my 1979 CJ-5. I have had this Jeep for...
OK, I'll try to post some "Before and After" shots here. The photos are only a sliver of what I took during the whole process and don't give a...
Thanks everyone! I am from Beaverton, Oregon. Born and raised. I work in Tualatin, where all the work was done on the Jeep. I just took it to...
Well, it's been about 9 months since I posted anywhere on this forum. And I'm back to say thanks once again to all those who helped give support,...
What I did was print it on high quality sticker paper that you can buy at Office Depot or Staples. I have a laminating machine, so I printed the...
Just my 2 cents - I just did a frame-off resto on my 79 5 w/AMC 304. Had the original block rebuilt. It runs like it just rolled off the...
I have a 79 CJ5 with the 304 and when I bought it ten years ago, the guy said he had rebuilt the engine, but it soon became clear that he hadn't....
Point taken. I'm just a little reluctant to lower the rear at all. Call me stubborn. By "plenty of clearance" in the rear I just mean it looks...
I just measured. The aftermarket rear shackles are 6.5" long hole-to-hole, and the front shackles (which I believe are stock) are 3.5" long...
Years ago, I installed a shackle-reversal kit on the front of my 79 CJ5. This gave it about a 1.5" lift over stock in the front and I also...
Thanks, that sounds good. So the electric choke switch connects up to the electric choke on my Edelbrock carb? And it threads into the hole on...
I have a 1979 CJ5 and from what I've seen, the 76-87 CJ dash pad is definitely different than the early-mid 70's CJs. It looks like yours would...
