Thanks. Hated to see it go but at least the wife no longer gripes about it. Did make a profit so that also shut her up. Should have sold her. Probably would have to pay someone to take her off my hands. :)

It sold yesterday. Folks came and took it for a test drive, complimented me on what an outstanding vehicle it was as they had been looking for one for about a year. Haven't figure out how to remove the ad yet. If you know, would appreciate any help. Thanks, Dennis

Hi Ralph, after you mentioned that I went and flipped it over. :) Thank you! So far, lots of compliments from folks from Classics.autotrader and eBay, but no buyers. Lots of scam artists stating they wanted it. I ought to sell the wife instead. LOL!!!

I wondered about that. :) Thanks

Hi Everyone! First, I'd like to thank everyone on IH*MUD for helping me over the last 3 years. Man, been that long? Also a big thanks to Tammy at Tanco Paints, Tim at Land Cruiser Specialties, Steve at EBI, and many more that I've forgotten the names. My wife and I are both 74 yrs young. So in...

No, although not a bad idea. I contacted Performance Distributors. First, the tach wire should not be grounded. I could have sworn the previous owner had it grounded as he had some really weird wiring going on. So, disconnected that. Tried ignition switch and does not blow the fuse, however, no...

Something new after nearing the build. I'm blowing the fuse from the battery to the relay switch. The following is the current wiring configuration for the relay switch: 30 Battery w/fuse . Was fused with 15A which was working great. Upped it to 30A and still blew 85 Ground 86 Black wire...

My Weber ran like crap, despite how much i tried to tune it. Then bought a carb from Advance Auto parts and upon starting, leaked like a sieve. Both carbs had a return line outlet. Then bought the carb from City Racer and now the engine purrs like kitten. As for the return line, the City Racer...

It was the aftermarket carb from City Racer. And they offer a 1 year warranty.

Correct. I believe it was the aftermarket carb. I believe they were sold out of the OEM carb at the time of purchase. I'll double check and get back to you.

I'm WAY, WAY behind on updates. Will correct that this winter. New carb I got from City Racer works great! Glad that I got rid of that Weber. Also eliminated other headaches as to extra lines. I thought I'd take a shortcut, just sand and prime over the existing paint on the front doors. Then...

I'll get back in touch with you later. I'm going to try leading the panel and see if I can flatten it out that way. My understanding of leading is that once properly applied, a person can pull and pound on it as it hardens the metal. I had great results with leading other parts of the FJ. Other...
