    Welcome from Huntsville Al! Great looking jeep! If I did not misread, you said 4:56 gears? That would cut into the ole top speed I would imagine. Aside of tune up that the other guys mentioned.

    Tone: You need plugs (gap .040), dist cap, rotor. The cap and rotor may be OK but it ti's over 2 years old, get new ones. Also check your wires.

    Jim, I thought the FSM calls for .035 gap, not .040. My newly bought Bosch Platinum were pre-gapped to .040, and I had to bang 'em to .035. But maybe that's because of my FAT fingers. :D Just seeking clarification. :beer:

    After sitting for a year, the carb rebuild is probably what you need. I will be rebuilding a dauntless in the not too near future and was looking at the AZ rebuild kit for it myself. The carb will be rebuilt as well. At least your's is running. Mine is back together just to see if pieces are missing. At least it looks like an engine.

    Hippo: You are correct, sir. BUT with the HEI you can easilly run a .040 gap (more juice there) :) . This gives you a larger spark at low engine speeds. The Bosch platinums hardly wear their gap at all, so you don't need to worry about it getting larger as time goes by. Some use a .045 gap. This of OK but a bit on the large size and I really don't think anything more would be gained past .040. This would be especially true of you are using non-platinum plugs. In a years time, you would probably have a .050 gap--not good.

    Remember, Tone has HEI, you don't. HEI=more juice & larger gap. Non-HEI=less juice & standard gap.

    And no, FAT fingers would not affect this; just a FAT plug guage! R)

    Anthony: The correct plugs are:

    AC--AC44S or R44S

    Champion--UJ12Y

    Bosch platinum--WR9FP

    BTW, AC means AC Delco--GM product.
