    CJ-6 "Rat Bastard"

    Found the Rat Bastard that was responsible for all the chewed wires.

    CJ-6 "Rat Bastard"

    While the wiring isn't terrible, there is no fuse block. This puts me in an analysis paralysis state because if I am going to strip all the wiring and put in a new painless kit, I'm going to want to strip everything.

    CJ-6 "Rat Bastard"

    I pulled off the dash panel today and the wiring isn't that bad. The wire I am holding is coming off the ammeter and looks like it has been completely fried! I think this was the cause of smoke when I hooked up the battery last week. What I can't figure out is why it burnt up before the key...

    CJ-6 "Rat Bastard"

    Well y'all, I reached a decisional point today. I either need to transition into phase 2, tear down, or consider dropping her off with my mechanic to get running. After getting everything wired up and ready to crank, as soon as we connected the battery smoke started to billow from behind the...

    CJ-6 "Rat Bastard"

    Y’all! Got that dizzy seated. I just kept pulling it out and clocking it until I got it to seat fully. I’m convinced there is only one way it can go in (although I guess it could be 180 out). Got some fresh plugs in and some new battery cables. I was on hold for a while because I was in New...

    I’ve turned it two full rotations applied moderate pressure and still can’t quite get it to seat fully. Not sure what I’m missing[emoji2369] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I think this is the deal breaker. Now when I removed the other distro I made sure to note the orientation. You can clearly see the shaft gear with the distributor removed makeing it easy enough to line it up. The gear catches (as it should) and rotates the shaft about 15*. It is a littel hard to...

    Here you can see how it's blocking the #3 plug.

    Here you can just see how big it looks. Granted, the new part on a fresh barn find is quite the contrast.

    So far, I’m not digging the HEI distributor. It’s big, it’s blocking one of the plugs, and I don’t like how it’s secured. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Land Rover ideas for Jeeps

    Dudes, This three was made for me! I used to have a SIII 109" that I brought back with me from the UK. Since being back in the states i have picked up a couple of jeeps. Let me know if this has been covered but I have a left over roff skin from my 109" that I am planning on using in some shape...

    CJ-6 "Rat Bastard"

    I did pick up this HEI distributor from Southwest Performance. My other cj's seemed to have frequent coil problems some I thought I would try this in hopes of having a cleaner, more powerful spark. The wiring is kind of messy so I think I will try my best to tidy it up before I get this...
