Oh and its a 78 not a 76 lol just found that out

Ok I know its been awhile since I posted. We finally figured some stuff out about the truck. Aparently the truck originally had the 6 cylinder in it. And when the guy put the V8 in he didn't put the correct radiator in with it. So my husband got a radiator for a V8 and put it in. But had...

Well come to find out the carb was filthy and the float was bad so now the truck is running even better!

Ok the truck was running great for a few days now. Untill I got low on gas yesterday and since then has been running like crap. So we took the carb of and having my fiance's cousin rebuild it. I hope thats all it is.

Ok So i'm starting to love this truck more and more, Put a caliper on in the front and now it will actually move haha. Still needs some adjusting, Its running rich. I can even smoke the dullys! haha

Oh and since a caliper was so cheap we just picked up one and we are going to replace it today and then how the truck does..

Hahaha thats the truth!

Yea I'm happy. Now if it wasn't such a gas hog I would drive it back to MS lol

Ok so we found out the front caliper is locking up, but the truck it self is running strong. So I'm going to pick up caliper rebuild kits.. But I love this truck! Its a beast

Are these Jeeps suppose to have springs up front? I'm thinking not lol, but I'm about to take a look at the front end to see whats binding... Oh yea they are like coil springs..

Thanks for the compliments on the truck everyone! I'm finally home.. My fiance and his friend did some treaking on the carb and its running good

Ok well apparently I must have been the carb lol. my fiance and his friend did some treaking and its running good now. Now it seems something in the suspension or the axle is binding. I'm not sure. I'm home now so I'm going to try and drive and see what he is talking about

Ok I will check into that as far as I know, there isn't any leaks, I was just on the phone with him and we were going over specs on the cams that edelbrock has for this engine and came to the conclusion as to which one it is. Does the timing need to be adjusted when you have an aftermarket...

lol yea.. I'm going home in 5 days so I'm hoping I can get this shit fixed haha

Oh and We have checked the timing and we have it set to manufactures specs of 5 degree btdc so dunno if we need to advance the timing..

Funny thing is, we had another 74 J10 with same engine except everything was stock. and the thing would run. I could drive it back and forth around town and it would do just fine, but my fiance thought it didn't have the power it was suppose to have, lol I don't know what he expects out of...

Well I'm hoping he can get a hold of the guy and find out what cam he put in it. Its hard to find parts for this thing where we live as far as a salvage yard.. :(

It won't idle once its warmed up.. I can't think of what else right of the bat.. I'm not currently home, so I've forgotten what all the issues are lol. Basically it has no power from what I'm to understand. But the thing sounds like a beast when it does run.. So I'm just stumped by the...
