Thanks for the update . Great to hear the job has been going well. Nothing to fear upon reinstallation , you've got the experience . Every job always has it's easy and tough moments . Looking forward to a great running jeep soon , just as you are . Hey , how is the clutch assembly ? I did mine...

Your welcome . Let us know what you find .

Welcome to jeepz.com . its likely the ignition coil has overheated . Check any wiring to'it and to the starter relay for signs of burned insulation which will indicate burned copper strands . The ignition module may have taken a hit as well . See if the grease that is supposed to be applied to...

Hello and welcome to jeepz.com. You could check the harness pigtail to the ignition module for an open with an ohm meter just to be sure there isn't a break in the strands . But it's more likely the pick up coil is weak and must be replaced . Unplug it from the ignition module and hold the ohm...

Respecting your need for a proper diagram . Although a diagram SHOULD show the correct placement of ignition wires starting from #1 and so forth in the correct rotation , I've seen inconsistencies for whatever reason and can't always rely on one . My suggestion is to confirm #1 cylinder TDC...

You are correct , heater cores have a nasty habit of producing spills IN the cabin when a/c condensation has the courtesy to drain out of the cabin as all leaks should should . Was hoping the OP could enlighten us if the cooling system holds pressure. Air introduced into the cooling will...

I must apologize for my poor writing skills . My apologize to the moderate . Must learn to condense as well. Thanks brother .

Hello and welcome to jeepz.com. That problem of excessive water coming from the a/c moisture drain sounds like a leaking heater core . Guessing the coolant consumption is excesssive . A radiator pressure test will confirm that but as long as your seeing colored liquid draining . It's sure to be...

BTW , the dowel pin are not pins like you would find on a small block chevy for example . They are round , hollow spacers pressed ( recessed) into the engine block where two of the bolts that bolt up the bell to the block are . I had to use a pry bar ( not a wrecking bar) to lever the bell off...

Agree that proper support of the engine is essential . I had two floor jacks and the scissor Jack all working together . Sorry I didn't mention that in any of my posts . Not cool to allow the engine to hang from its mounts . Try to get the engine to get close to the firewall since you'll need...

Thanks for the pics ! Real sweet ride ! I totally appreciate anyone who puts this much pride into restoring a CJ . I still feel and always will that the CJ must be preserved . Without it , the off road life style would not have gotten to where it is today . Sorry about the trans snafu but you...

There is no doubt that the toughest part would be getting the input shaft to go through the throw out bearing and into the pilot bushing as in any install but I was able to perfectly align the bell housing even with the block and after rotating the companion flange to spin the input shaft it...

I don't know what type of Jack you'll use to do the job , maybe yours will do easier than dads scissor Jack . However , do pull the tower off the trans and the shifter off the t-case to allow better movement under the jeep . You'll need it. You can do this all without lifting the front up but it...

I just completed a clutch replacement job which included all components from the pilot bushing to all related throw out bearing parts including pivot and spring parts on my 1973 cj5 back in May. I'm 53. If I can do it , you can do it. I dropped both shafts ( rebuilt u-joints too ) , the cross...

Just thought I would ask , is the computer and oxygen sensor grounds bolted on where the battery negative grounds to the engine block ?

The fact that your starter isn't engaging needs to be diagnosed . A starter will ground upon bolting it on to the engine block or transmission bell. Are all body to chassis and engine to chassis grounds installed ? Is there any reading at the starter lug of battery voltage ? I am assuming that...

If the engines stuck and it may be , they got all kinds of concoctions a recipes to free up the Pistons . Yeah , just use penetrating oil down the spark plug holes and repeat as necessary . Plenty of time and application . I know that stuff in your crank case is verboten but gotta do what ya...

You mentioned no fuel . No tone from the fuel pump with key on ? Will need to check if fuel pump relay is active as soon as key is turned on to RUN position when PCM primes pump . You may have to pull,the relay and put jumpers from relay terminals to socket terminals to probe terminal 30 and 85...

If there are no fuses or relays pertaining to a factory security system u dear the dash or power distribution center , I would have to say your jeep dosen't have one. Was only asking to rule out the system is armed and preventing the starter circuit from enabling. Since the accessory position...
