1. I need a starter solenoid for a 1977 BJ40. I have removed the existing one and don't see any part number. Any help wrt to a part number or source of supply would be appreciated. I'd really prefer to replace this one rather than try to repair the internal components.
2. I have also been unsuccessful extracting the starter from the vehicle. It won't fit underneath between the frame and block, and top side is obstructed by injector pump and steering gear. IF I could remove the dipstick tube assy. it may come out top side but the nut at the block won't budge. Various rigid brake and fuel lines also complicate matters. When I took it loose I was thinking it would come out under the fender above the frame, but no go so far. So any tricks or tips would be appreciated, although I think I can reinstall solenoid with starter loose in there, and then reinstall starter assy.
3. The bottom solenoid stud has a jumper wire that goes to some gizmo mounted on the side of the block inside and rear of injector pump. Apparently it connects that widget momentarily when the key is turned to start. Can anyone enlighten me as to what that thing is?
4. And finally, can anyone here recommend the title or source for a comprehensive parts manual (complete vehicle or engine) with illustrated parts breakdown for BJ40 series?
Thanks in advance.
