This came of my 72' 40. I was tearing it down and notice my gaskets and the plunger from my rebuild kit didn't match. In fact the new plunger wont even fit.
Led me to think that this may not be the original carb and the PO did a swap on me. Can any one tell me where to look on this thing to...
I just got through replacing the water pump on my 72 40'. Original F engine, only running an alternator(1 belt). Taking the water pump off I noticed the spacer behind my water pump pulley and didn't think much about it. Now putting my new water pump on, I put the spacer back where I found it, on...
I went to Jeep fest today at Dallas Market Hall. Drove about an hour each way, the 40 drove great all the way there. Pegged 60 the whole way(even blew by a lady doing 45 in her 7 series BMW). But when I was arriving, I had to stop at a light on the service road and she started sputtering real...
I have noticed when Im out wheeling lately the temp gauge(factory guage) is showing real warm but I haven't had time to pay it much attention. When I jump back on the road and it cools back down real fast.

Also, how much...
It doesn't get very cold here in TX but the other day it was 40 deg and Rainy and I was wishing I had a soft top for my 40. Does anyone run a bikini top with hard doors? I don't want to shell out for a Paki top and only use it 2-3 months a year so I was thinking about maybe getting a bikini top...

I have an Axle seal that needs to be fixed....or better yet someone to show me how to do it. I would love to learn how to do it myself if possible. Maybe...
Hi guys I have a 72' that was torn down by the prior owner and partially restored. When I got it the heater blower would turn on but it was making a terrible noise. Now that is getting relatively cold here in TX I decided to pull this out and tackle the heater noise. Found out the plastic fan...
Hey guys, new to the forum here. Impressed with the amount of knowledge being passed around in here. Any way here is a pic of my new girl. 72 with the infamous 3 speed. I just put some new shoes on her!
I need a little help. My jeep looks as though it originally came with the interior light...
