All I did was tug on the tie rods and they seemed pretty tight. Is there another way to check them? How should I check the steering box? Grab...
I can grab the steering shaft and move it from side to side without the steering wheel and steering box shaft moving. It feels like the most...
I drove around in the CJ5 today (after the motor mounts were replaced, and the DMV gave me plates). Pretty fun driving it. But she sure did seem...

Well... I bought a 1980 CJ5 last night. It's missing the front driveshaft. The engine is a GM 4 cylinder. The PO was in the process of putting...
Advance Auto said they didn't have a dwell meter. But I picked up a feeler guage, spark plugs, and a new coil. I also ordered a new set of plug...

Yep. I see what you mean. I thought you meant from the engine bay through the firewall and back. I'll shoot a pic and then check out the...
The wiring on the jeep is pretty much homegrown, so it stays on the inside of the engine bay. I'll check the wiring from the coil to the dizzy....
Morning everybody! I got a multimeter and I'm not getting electricity passed the dizzy, but it's getting to the coil(?). Under the dizzy cap...
Well, my little tester light isn't working and I can't find my multimeter. I ran the wires to a switch. Now it's harder to shock myself. :)...
I tried touching the red wire off the coil(?) to the blue and red wire at the same time... But I'll have to look to make sure its connection is...
Howdy, I towed my 59 CJ5 from Texas this week. http://www.jasonthomasfrance.com/photos/vehicles/cj_1959/index.php?image=towing.the.cj5.02.jpg...
