Do you live in a high altitude region? The Motorcraft 2150 is the high altitude version of the 2100. I have one 2100 for a manual Jeep. It may need rebuilt. I swithed to a 4- barrel. What's on your Jeep now? Are you trying to do a factory restoration? I also have a factory Jeep padded roll bar...

I have a factory grille guard in good condition. It is black in color. The guard has PVC surf rod holders attached to it. They can be used or taken off. I am in North Carolina. Price is $175.00. I have alot of other Jeep parts as well. (919) 422-9565

I went with a Borgeson unit. I think it is of good quality and it is easier to remove and re-connect than my old stock unit. This is important when you have to put on header gaskets all the time! There is more to the steering system than this piece. I'm experiencing loose steering still. The...

There are plenty of Jeepers around NC. There is a 4 wheel drive shop in Wilson that developed a trick Dana 300 set-up that was featured in JP Magazine. You can take your Jeep to the Outer Banks and ride on the beach. There are a couple of National Forests that offer trails. I know of two four...

The axles are stock. Years ago I installed a pair of degree shims in the front after putting on a set of Dessert Steel shackles(lift @1-1.5"). At that time I ran a manual steering box. I wore out one manual box before my Jeep rebuild. At rebuild time I went to power steering and removed the...

I installed the Daystar kit on my CJ-7. It gives you all of a 1 inch lift, maybe more. I did not have to cut the body around the transfer case shifter. I did not lower the transfer case either. I do not have a fan shroud to mess with. You probably will have to modify the clutch linkage rod. And...

I'm 95% finished with my '80 CJ-7 and am finally on the road some. But my steering seems too loose and it is down right scary on the highway! I know CJ's are not known for their highway manners but mine seems down right dangerous. My Jeep has a power steering unit from a '79 CJ. I have a Borgson...

1048855 Still trying to solve my problems. May be a bad seal at carb. base! Parts guy gsold me a Edelbrock carb. base plate. I also got another new gasket. This plate is a thin metal plate. My carb. came with a (riser?) about 1/4 " thick. This is made of a hardened card board type material. Do...

1054181 I followed the timing technique on mine. The distributor was in the correct location so it did not solve my particular problem. JoeyCJ5 how does the MSD combo perform? My distributor is the only item I did not upgrade during my engine rebuild. It could be my weak link.[addsig]

1054202 My problem: Remember the "HOT Headers/ lean condition?" discussions? I tried everything to get the Jeep to run. Finally I took it to a performance shop. I hated to take my baby to someone else , but I had reached my limit! They have been tweaking the carb. and adjusting timing. Mechanic...

1054203 During rebuild I upgraded to a larger diameter clutch. It's the OE clutch used in the V-8 trucks and Cherokees. It's an 11" instead of the 10.5". A little more surface area. My old clutch was still working after 10 years and lots of miles. YES a new pilot bushing is recommended and YES...

1054255 Yeah it's a book! The timing is just what the mechanic said was making it work without turning the headers glow orange. I have worked on my Jeeps all my life. Never have I had such a frustrating problem. It makes me want to start over with the engine and go all stock! I can't believe...

1055226 rrr.rrrr.rrr.dead! I'm not sure I'm following you. Is it turning over at all? Are you saying it's not a battery/charging problem? My Jeep has a factory tach., and one time the thing went bad and the Jeep would die. It would do this going down the highway and at idle. I by passed the...
