Ok fellas, I am releasing the curse of the almost 500 post thread and starting a new one. Here is the deal for those of you who are not yet up to speed. I swapped the old carters with a mc2100 and added to it the hei upgrade. After finally coming to the realization that I should check my plugs...

I'm looking and pricing to replace my grossly cracked ex manifold. If I am going to spend the 200 bucks for a stock replacement, why not kick in a couple of extra bucks and put a set of headers on it. I have seen depending on the brand it says to be usually used with manual transmissions. Since...

Got another one for you guys, as most of you know I have a crack in my exhaust manifold. After further inspection, I also noticed that a bolt has sheared off where the manifold connects to the downpipe. My question is: is there any kind of gasket between the manifold and downpipe or can I just...

81 cj7 258 auto. I am way out of time and for the life of me, I can figure out how to loosen my distributor. Any help?

Do I HAVE to bypass my computer when changing to a motorcraft 2100

Does anyone know where to hook up the pcv vacuum? There are two avail ports on this carb. One goes to the dist vacuum. That leaves one avail port and the is connected to the choke housing. This seem right? It has threads, that's what's confusing me. Here's a pic

Among the laundry list of things to do on this beast, I have had a slight leak (two - three drops) a day at my transfer case. It looks like the lower rear plate (Oval) (right above the "skid plate") is where it is coming from. Gasket set on order so in the mean time, does anyone happen to...

Alright folks, I feel as though I have graduated from oil changes to radiator swap to u-joint replacement. Its now time to put my "big boy" pants on and finally ditch my sh**ty carters carb. I am really tired of stalling when I go over a speed bump. I have a Motorcraft 2100 1.08 that I am going...

Feel like there should be a non mechanic (dumb ass) section. I am trying to replace gaskets in my trans an trans case. I started to remove the skid plate and low and behold everything started to come with it. Trans, trans case and all. How the heck do you get to the trans pan and transfer case...

Hey all, it's me again. I have a question about changing a leaky trans pan gasket. Although I am still working on the parking issue in my trans, the gasket is leaky. I had read that after you drain the ATF and repairs are complete, when filling back up, you need to fill the torque converter...

Hello All, I am having an issue with my transmission. I have a 81CJ7 with a 258 and a TF999 automatic transmission. About a year ago, I was having a normal day an it happened. I put my jeep in park and she started rolling out of the parking space I was in. I had a hell of a time getting it...

Hey all, I am having trouble identifying my transmission. I have a 1981 CJ7 with 258 6 banger with an automatic transmission. My question is, I want to put an AMC360 in there, does anyone foresee any problems with the install as far as lining up with the current trans? I know I have to change...

The general thought seems to be I can not fit 33x12.5x15 under a stock 81CJ7 auto w/258. With that being said, I was thinking of putting a new set of leaf springs to achieve a 1 1/2" - 2" lift for clearance. First off, does this sound reasonable? 2) Is there any other suspention parts I...

Hey Guys, It's me again. I have a simple question if anyone out there can help. I have a 81 CJ7 stock with 31x10.5x15 currently on it. I have already installed 1.5 inch spacers and would like to put 33's on it. Will I have any issues (rubbing on the inside, or if I go over a speed bump) and...

I just installed a safari Kargo rack on my 81. I mounted 4 lights to it and am unsure of the best way to run the wires. I will be removing the top from time to time and would like suggestions on what kind of disconnect and where to run the wiring. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Bry

Once agian I look to my JEEPZ family for advice. Thank God I'm not paying by the post. I have an 81CJ7 with a stock suspension (no lift at all) and 31's. It has the 258 in her. I would like to know what the largest size tire (height and width) I can put on there without altering the...

First off.... I love this jeep... Its like one of my kids (without the tax deduction) I am looking for ideas on fixing or replacing a rusted out portion of the frame. The problem area is in the rear passenger side where the frame mounts to the bumper. Looks like about 5in. worth of nothing...

I have a 180 degree thermostat in my 81cj7 258ci. my normal day to day operating temp is between 180-195 degrees. When I am towing approx 1200-1500 lbs the temp will increase as far as 210 deg or so. Is this normal? Would it benifit me to put in an electric fan assembly. Im not a mechanic...

I just ordered a Motorcraft 2100 to replace the POS Carters on the CJ. (81 CJ7 258 Auto) Anyone had experiace in changing the carbs out? If so, is there anything I need to watch out for or that was difficult for you? This is my only means of transportation, and I am not a mechanic. Dont...
