Does anyone know how to tighten up the steering on a 79 CJ-5 with power steering? We just put in a new gear box, but the steering is really loose?

Okay, the CJ had its maiden voyage today since the complete rebuild. Well, everything was rebuilt but the 3 speed transmission. We made it about 15 minutes away, before all of the gears except thrid quit working. You could still shift into the gears, but no power at all. The clutch is new...

Does anyone know how to wire a factory tach that has two 10-12 gauge wires that are both red. Neither one has a stripe on it. Can it be hooked up backwards? I have the wiring from the coil, but I just don't know how to attach it to the tach. '79 CJ-5. Thanks Zac

Does anyone know how to bypass the neutral safety switch? I bought a painless wiring kit and installed it, but I never hooked up anything to a safety switch. I don't even know where the thing is. If I could get any help on finding it or shorting it I would really appreciate it. Zac

Hey everyone, I'm new to the site and it is great. I have a question about the CJ-5 I'm rewiring. The tach is a factory tach with the 4 wires (2 big red ones) and my question is, which red wire is the power, and which is the wire from the coil? It might not even matter, but I thought someone...
