Lets see...
I bought a heat riser kit for mine cause the bushings were very worn. Took the manifolds to work and sandblased them. My intake had a cracked ear on one of the bolts that was welded bad who knows how long ago. Has pin holes in it. My exhaust manifold had a lovely crack in it to. Good thin I work in the same building as a machine shop and a very professional welder. Made a 2A top fit my 3A windshield. Not pretty but does what it needs to. |

Replaced oil pan, since the block is from a '41 Americar it had no skid plate.
Also added a draw bar I took my old gas tank and wire wheeled it. found 3 holes. Was told about something called Seal-All. Couple dollars at Dollar General, it is oil and gas resistant so we shall see. |

Decided with the top on, the mirrors on the body would be more useless so I made brackets to put them on the doors.
The UPS man delivered some goodies today... Installed the wipers and all wired up. Also put on my windshield vent gasket. |

Well I drove her today. maybe 20 miles. ran good. drove like a '47 Willys. I only had a straight pipe on it so it was loud!
But then the day went to hell. Bushing for the cold start valve both popped out. Bought a muffler, put it on was running but then no longer wanted to. Also changed the oil and flushed the radiator. but now it won't start. |

OK haven't updated...bought new Distributor and been driving it. I have put on 170 miles. been for the most part nice here in Ohio. Went to a toy show on Sunday. I took the top off on Tuesday and just enjoying it.
Few problems though. This Jeep likes to mark its territory! Also the closer I get to 50 MPH oil starts shooting out the dipstick tube. Only noticed that when oil was flowing down the passenger side floor. Only did it with the top off, so I am thinking I am creating some kind of vortex/ wind tunnel or something. I have a small vent air filter in there. If i keep it around 40-45 it's fine. I'll worry about that later. Under the distributor on the block it must be thin or cracked because I have a little seeping of water there. Rear main seal leaks. A lot. Should have replaced it when I did the oil pan gasket.. A little wander in the steering but not terrible. I know I have a bad tie rod end but I want to upgrade it. I have the TRE's already I just need a tube roughly 35 inches to go from knuckle to knuckle. Brakes are decent for what they are. (9 inch drums, dual reservoir master cylinder) Will quietly look for 11 inch set up. I have been just piecing the exhaust together. Tractor Supply muffler and pieces. Will eventually just order the full kit. One of the brass bushings fell out of the manifold for the heat riser, so a leak there. Probably more but it is early. Pictures now then to bed i go. |
