If I am not mistaken, the add a leaf is exactly that, you will be adding a single leaf to your existing springs to accomplish the lift. The full set is a complete new pack of springs. You should really consider wheeling the CJ, I run a 82 CJ7 with 126000 miles on basically stock running...

Agreed, however I do not have cats.

Can anyone suggest literature/books/resources for one to teach themselves to weld? I have looked into the colleges/technical schools in my area and they all have classes, they are just during the day. I was told there was not enough interest for a night class. I have seen the work from alot of...

Look in the other forums, there was a thread a week or two ago that was similar. It was not in the CJ forum but the one below it. Alot of good information.

The torch or heat gun works due to the heating of the plastics brings their natural oils back to the surface. I have been doing that on my wifes truck for a couple years. After they go black again wipe them down to smooth the oils out and your good for 8 mos to a year. (At least here in Fl, it...

Thanks Saddle tramp, Unfortunately the valve covers are not original. I will see what I can do to locate the numbers. To expand on the original part of this post, I need to check the timing to verify it is set right- It is my belief the PO had overheating problems and retarded the timing to...

I am in no way a mechanic or salesman, but I wheel with several guys here in florida running four cylinders, we have water, mud, and trails. Some are running 31 or 32" tires with stock gears and they perform really well. If you go to 33" or larger tires I would recommend regearing the front and...

In believe that should be a personal choice. What will be the intended use? Mud, rock climbing, or straight trail riding? The use would be one of my determining factors along with tire size, gear ratios, etc. With the proper gear ratios the four cylinder would be acceptable, the six will have...

Well after 3 months of slowly playing with the jeep, I am down to that last few items to correct/make better. 1. Where does/is the timing pointer supposed to be located? My haynes manual shows a location but the pic does not match the bolt locations on my engine? (I have not found a way to...

Jps, that is a valid point, I am looking at the snorkel mainly for my son. The jeep is a project for he and I, it is not a daily driver only comes out to play. He went out a couple weeks ago and stalled it after a mud hole. I believe it is due to the mechanical fan basically acting like a...

Thanks for the link Sid. I will check it out. If I can find a way to fab one up I will post pics to the site.

Good afternoon Gentlemen, I searched through the archives and was unable to locate any previous chats that addressed installing a snorkel in a CJ that has had a v-8 swap. I have a AMC 360 with a 500CFM Holley on it right now. Does anyone have pics or information on where I can find the mounting...

Carnuck, The exhaust setup is stock manifolds to duals out in front of the rear tires. It is true dual exhaust.

I have a 82 CJ7 with a AMC 360. I have an upgraded aluminum radiator, high flow water pump and standard belt driven fan. I would like to upgrade to an electric fan and have seen that the ford Taurus fan fits some jeeps. My question is will a Taurus fan pull enough air for the V-8? Right now the...

I have never performed the gear swaps myself, I have always paid someone to do it. From my understanding there is a little bit of set up that has to be done, and if it is not correct it will drastically reduce the life of the rear end. I am running 4.10's and 33" tires right now, but I have a...

Have you verified that you are getting spark? Possibly bad coil?

The item behind the taillight is known as " liquid fuel vent canister" It is part of the vapor venting system for the gas tank. My 82 has two vent lines from the tank to this canister, then off the top of this canister comes a single vapor vent line to the passenger front to where the charcoal...

Saddle Tramp, Thanks for the explanation and pic. I will stop by the auto parts store and see if I can acquire one of the proper filters. My jeep still does not have a charcoal canister nor does it have the liquid fuel vent canister. Any idea where I can find these. I have gone as far as calling...

Saddle Tramp, yes the single vapor vent line from the top of the liquid vent canister is not attached. The connector it is supposed to go is broke. The single vent line which is supposed to go to the charcoal canister loops behind the passenger front fender. I would assume the PO removed the...

If we are referring to the check valve located directly behind the drivers tail light, is this a necessity? I have finally determined that my jeep stalls due to over pressirization of the fuel tankm therefore flooding me out. right now the vent lines are free from the canister and I have not had...
