The Official "What The Heck Is This?" Thread

I would guess that's the BOP-pattern ring adapter for a nailhead TH400 automatic. From a Jeepster?

 

Looks like an SAE 1 bellhousing for an Allison automatic but doesn’t have enough threaded holes for the trans to bolt on. Maybe marine or industrial application.

 

I’m not sure what it came out of. Definitely was in a vehicle though. I just thought if we can figure it out someone might need it!

 

Does it have a part number? If it's the Jeep ring adapter, it should be the same as used with the 350 cid Buick Jeep trucks. That's a Jeep 942109.

 

That I’m not sure of. I don’t have it in my possession yet. Waiting till I get home to go get it as long as the guy still has it.

 

Fairly certain that's what it is. It has a flex plate, so automatic. This is a factory 225 from a Jeep, yes? A '66-71 Jeepster is the only Jeep 225 automatic app.

Jeep used the "universal" or "nailhead" TH400 in all their vehicles through about 1974. This required a ring adapter that mated the TH400 to the engine type. There were five different ring adapters (to '71 232/258, '71 304/360, from '72 232/258/304/360, 327, and 225/350).

 

Getting into the parts boxes as I’m putting the CJ back together.

What’s this?

 

That's a "dog bone" spacer for a transfer case mount. My 70 Jeepster/Commando has one like that.

 

I think your right. Someone had that whole setup in a car. The guy I am getting it from is restoring it to original and get this belonged back in a CJ

 

I have one on My 1974 CJ5 , Transfer Case Mount.

 

I thought those were ancient binoculars you unearthed.

 

I thought it was a Craftsman fender cover with a cast iron salt and pepper dip(for your celery n carrots).

 

Cleaning my garage and I found this in a box of Chevy parts. The only vehicle i can think of this coming off of is a 1964 CJ5. Pulled the 4 and put in a V-6. This has been in that box since 1975. Does this look like a generator from an F head?

Thanks

 

From here, yes.

 

Hmmm...1975. Likely the year I first ever rode in a Jeep, I was 6. Someone offered me a ride home from a friends house; I didn't really need it as it was only 1/4 of a mile, but it was a JEEP! In my mind, I can still see the dash, shifters and windshield as I climbed in for that glorious 3 minute ride. Clearly it made an impression.

I am not familiar with the F-heads, so no idea on your generator...but thanks for the flashback.

 

Same as Ford in-line sixes of the same time period.

 

How many RPM would I need to spin the generator to check output with a multimeter? Which contacts would I connect the leads
to?

 

It's little more complicated than that. But they were designed to produce power from 600rpm to maximum output at 1800rpm.

 

A generator is simply motor that is “driven”, if voltage is applied to it, it should spin correct ?
