I've looked thru a couple old threads and have seen a few ideas, but what would b the best recommendation for installing a tilt steering column in...
Thanks Tim! Yes, found it today. The wire comes up from starter and appears to make like a "T" by the alternator. It's all wrapped in the...
Thank you guys immensely. Yes, the chiton and Haynes have a bit to be desired. Amazes me that one of the most capable off road vehicles ever...
Thanks! wow, I had NO idea a 69 wouldn't run a fuse block. Do you think me "blocking" my jeep and separating out circuits is a worth while...
My 69 CJ5 "Pandoras Box" too good to be true price has a bit of a wiring situation. The PO took all wire leads under the dash and hooked them to...
Thank you ALL for your help. the reason that I feel it is absolutely twisted is that after all the work done....shackles, springs, tire pressure,...

Right on thanks. Compression is good. What is a good leakage test?
I know some of you have followed my story of my recently purchased 69 cj5. Just want a reliable fun jeep for around town and trails. Had to...

Keep in mind motor is in jeep, so I am under jeep and just pulled rear cap. Old seal was original "rope" style. New seal is improved rubber 2...
Not sure I understand Pete. There is a feed hole in crank which I can turn over, not sure if there is a feed hole in the upper half of bearing...
Excellent idea! i did that also, still gets stuck in same place. I'm gonna do that again tomorrow and rotate crank until oil feed is on bottom...
