Took some pictures of the Jeep today.........

I was where myJ eep was today (inlaw's cabin) and snapped a bunch of pics.
I have dozens and will be posting lots of them with lots of questions in the near future.
One thing I noticed today while looking things over a little closer was that the alternator had a Motorola label on it? There was also something mounted on the inside fender wall that said Motorola on it and had wires running to the alternator and a couple going nowhere

Also the Jeep has no brakes..........traced the lines to the MC. It looks small? I removed the round access plate in the floor and saw a bolt (with large flat inc. washer) is this the fluid reservoir? Whose idea was that one?

It has a Dauntless V-6 that was not stock when new. How do I tell if it is odd-fire or even fire?

What does FLAP stand for?

Is HEI ? electronic ignition?

I got a million of them.................questions that is.

First time posting pictures here........hope it works.

Thanks, Jeff

 

What year? Looks to be a Tux Park, some of them had the V6 Dauntless in them factory. If it is a Dauntless its an oddfire.


On the brakes yes thats the fluid resv under the body.

 

Wow! Great-looking project!! Can't wait to see more pics. Welcome from Denver!

 

Great looking Jeep.

 

Man I wish mine looked that good to start with!!

 

:iagree: ... looks like a great project !!!

 

Welcome aboard Jeff! Nice JEEP, it's even the right color

 

Well, ahem.... perhaps not!LOLR)

Welcome from GA.

 

Welcome from central Va. The Jeep looks sweet.

 

Welcome from S. Carolina!! Looks like a great project. Keep the pics and questions coming....we like both!

 

A factory service manual would be a big help with answering the first half million and I’m sure the board would be happy to answer the other half. http://www.earlycj5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14378

Welcome Jeff, you have a very solid jeep to work with.

 

Wow........thanks for all the welcomes/replies!

The jeep is a '65 Tux Park. If I understand correctly the Dauntless came out in '66. My father-in-law and wife's uncle put the Dauntless in.

Ok the Motorola thing is probably the voltage regulator, makes sense. The alternator is a Motorola. I had no idea they did anything automotive like that......

Here's a few more pictures.........comments please.

 

Very good. Welcome aboard.

 

My Jeep had a Motorola alternator when I got it and I had nothing but problems with it. My advice to you is use it as a core and get a GM alternator with internal regulator. Save yourself the frustration I went through.

 

Is that a three speed or four speed?

 

I like your jeep aaaalloootttt!R) You lucky turd

 

I'm not entirely sure.........I think it is a four speed.
What would the shift pattern be? 1,2,3,4 H and R upper right?
Seems like that's what it felt like.
I would think I want it to be a four speed..........right?

This jeep had balloon tires with very deep wheels on it before we put the new tires/stock rims back on.
That explains the Pismo plaques on the dash.
It also served time as a snow plow!
