The Chilton manual shows a purple wire to the ignition. I found the purple wire in the harness when looking for the no start issue. I later dug behind the dash. I have the end of the purple wire attached to nothing. So I pulled out the connected to nothing tach connector with a yellow and a...

Well its up and running. Repaired a fused link, replaced a fuel pump, fuel sending unit and the line from the tank to the hard line. Still got a little bit to go on getting it to pass smog but it runs better than before. Thanks for all the help and suggestions. see you on the next post. There is...

I don't think there is a reg on the dist. I'll have to check with the smog guys to see if I can have the 258 if I take it to the 81 config. Since it had a 4 cyl in 81 I may have to make it a stock config. I think I can upgrade the 258 intake since same or newer are the key words in the reg...

Might want to check the gear oil just in case there was some water intrusion. Jim

The tank is already dropped. That's how I found it. The smog guys do a fuel cap test. They pressurize the tank and if it bleeds down too fast it fails. I pumped air in it and had the wife listen for a leak. It was coming out as fast as I pumped it in. Dropped the tank to see where it was coming...

That is correct. I can bring the engine to stock 77 258. not stock 77 CJ7. Or I remove the BAR tag and build to stock 258 in a CJ7 and actually the jeep originally had a 4 banger. Not sure at this point if I would have to go back to that engine. If The Cherokee or Comanche had 258 with a 2 BBL I...

Fuel line from the sending unit to the hard line is all shot. I might have broken the sending unit outlet tube but its loose. I'll call around looking for one in a bit but can I JB weld the outlet tube so it will seal and not spin around

I have not gotten inside the jeep yet still replacing wires and bad crimps in the engine bay. It comes out of the firewall big huge black plug and runs through the harness and just ends close to the coil. I just want to make sure that during my troubleshooting looking for the fused link that I...

Anybody want to guess what the black wire with a white stripe that comes into the engine bay through the bulkhead connector goes to. Looks like it pulled out of something and was not just cut and stuffed in the wire harness loom. My Chilton does not show it. It passes through the firewall and it...

I did find a fused link wire. I was going to get one of the maxi fuses but could not find the amperage I needed referenced any where so went with the 14 Ga wire the Haynes called for. I can take it back if anyone can tell me the size fuse I need. I bought some more wire loom so I'll go through...

OK I found the electrical issue. Looks like they cut the fused link out and crimped the wire together. The crimp was not a very good one and had pulled out. I'll pick one up on the way back from PT. Now the gas issue is all I have to worry about. The gage said 1/4 tank. I did pour a couple of...

Police Monkey161, I found a schematic showing the fused link is red. any Idea if its inside the cab or the engine bay. Not a lot of stock wiring left in there. I did find my tach wire. where can that hook to.

Police Monkey161. I can turn the engine over using a remote starter switch on the starter solenoid. Any idea of the color and location of the Fuseable link. Everyone else I will check your suggestion out when I get back from Physical Therapy in about 2 hours. hanks for the input. Jim

Ok One more little turmoil to add to the CJ wont pass smog an the fuel pump left me stranded for a while and finally limped home. Last night when verifying that the fuel pump was bad I had my son turn it over while I kept an eye out for fuel pumping from the fuel line. It didn't so I started...

Since I have the BAR tag the smog dude said it needed to be what was available on the engine. I have already gone beyond what the PRK smog laws. They say the same or like engine of the same year or newer. The jeep originally had a 4 cyl in it. Now its labeled for a 77 258. How all this happened...

I once drug home a 69 mustang uni-body that had been in the yard for 20 years. doors gone and no windshield. just some light surface rust that was easily removed with some sandpaper. Nothing else.

Well i took it in for the smog test. If there was a level above gross polluter My CJ would be the picture next to the definition. So here is what I got: at idle HC: Max 250, Gross Polluter 500, Me 747 CO max 2.5 GP 5.0 me 11.37 at 2500 rpm HC: Max 200, GP 450 me 172 C0 max 3.0 GP 5.5 Me 6.75...

That pic was just about 2 miles from my house. yep we have tons of trails. dry, dusty, rocky trails so very little chance for any muddin'. As far as rust goes there is one spot on the drivers side fender where it took a hit and crinkled the metal. Little bit of rust around there. Other than that...

I tried to get her involved in the dialog here and she's too embarrased to join in. Too bad. she said some funny stuff about the accesories. hello Kitty and stuff like that. Jim
