The "ole dimentia ridden s.o.b." (his words not mine) may have clamped the timing light lead onto the wrong spark plug wire. Who knows? He hasn't...
Now that is something to ponder.
"Blind as a bat" It is your Jeep, so whether you want to guess your way through on working on it is up to you. The first thing I get when I start...
"Interesting. Seems a bit archaic with today's abundant lockers, but that's a cool trick nonetheless." Archaic ? Only from today's viewpoint....
Odd thing here is I don't see that bearing in the first set of pictures, so how did it find its way home?
"Now I don't have much experience, but it seems to me like cutter brakes won't do you a ton of good on a CJ. To my knowledge, one mainly uses them...
I think the real question is where is the missing bearing? Had to have been there before disassembly.
Think about it some more. Setting the "lash" with more "clearance" means the valve opens later, isn't opened as far, and isn't open as long as it...
"Does anyone know if they're making their own sheetmetal or re-selling parts from MD Juan?" I think Omix-ADA is just a distributor of various,...
I always install the felts as I think they help keep grit from getting to the seals.
Yes a bad exhaust valve can produce popping, but a bad valve isn't indicated with 120 PSI. It could be valve adjustment is too tight on the two...

"What's up with the speedo gear just sitting on the output shaft? I guess it gets pressed on with the yoke." Yes, another correct guess.:beer:...
The first CJ2A I saw with a SBC was at a deer camp around 1968, I was just a kid then, but I sure was impressed with what that Jeep could do. I...
What Howard said "How's the surface of the output yoke? if it's at all scrtched/grooved you will leak :(" Using two seals is often an attempt to...
"Did you read the initial post as well as the signature?" Yes I did, but the original post doesn't say much about what it is, other than the clue...
The speedometer gears can be swapped, but you have to swap both the drive gear and the driven gear. The tail shaft housing will interchange. Your...
"MD's case" ? Not sure what you mean. "Are the gears ID the same?" No, the gears are not the same. I think Jeep CJ5 went to 11" rear brakes with...
"I've replaced the coil, cap, ICM, and vac. adv. It does make a pop outta the exhaust while idling when it's first started up." You don't say,...
The M38A1 seats are less "plush" as Pete mentions, but they serve the purpose well and I think give a little more room between belly and steering...
