    Are those circuit breakers instead of fuses? Hard to tell from pic? Some day maybe I will have a lovable flattie.

    Parking brake working now, exhaust system on the way. Today I cleaned up the speedometer. It was gunked up with some sort of old grease. There wasn't a single moving part in it, which broke the old cable.

    Aren't speedos fun, first off getting them apart and then trying to remember how all of the parts go back together. Al least it looks like you took digital pictures. I didn't have the same option back in the 70's. I hope it works now.

    It works. I've always enjoyed working on speedometers.

    Naw, I put it at 43,000. It was at 42999. One of the odometer digit cogs is missing a tooth. It was in the tens column, so I moved it to the ten thousands column so it'll work properly until it tries to turn over to 50K.

    The Jeep looks great. I wish I could fix my stuff that fast...or even just fix my stuff! What is the idea behind the blue LED's...just looks or some other function?

    I've had blue lights behind the grill of all my vehicles for many years. My wife's car, and my Dad has them, as well as my nephew.

    Rebuilt the carb today. I was amazed at how much junk was in the float bowl.
