What is the normal operating temp. of a 304 v8 ? New water pump & a new thermostat 195 degree. Should it be running at 230 degrees in traffic ? Thnx. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

Hey fellow jeepers, its time to change the oil in my T18 trans & also transfer case. Just need to know what weight gear oil to use, is it still 90 weight or something else, I dont use synthetic in this old '74, so please keep it simple. Thnx. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

I keep my battery connections clean religiously so I dont think thats an issue, could there be a ground connection loose somewhere I dont know about ? I dont think my alternator brushes are serviceable, it does put out 14.5 volts constantly. Could my starter solenoid be going, it is the fender...

My 74 cj5 has an intermitent problem. Once in a while it will not start, acts like there is no battery in it, no lights, no horn, no electrical at all. Yesterday i had to push start it then it started right up, ran great, got me home, shut it off, waited a few seconds & cranked right over. I...

Idle oil pressure is 35 to 40, 2000 rpm around 45 psi. Forgot to mention, I live in an area where summer temps are 90 to 110 degrees if that makes any difference. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

First post in about 5 years, got busy. I had been using 10w30 oil in my 304, do I need to use a multi weight oil or straight 30 or 40 weight ? It has a 4 barrel & very heavy cam. Input pls. Thanks. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

Sometimes it seems like it runs out of gas, I will investigate that next. Thanks for all the responses I will keep you guys informed with my progress maybe this will help someone else with similar problem.

It's a 1974 so no cat, only headers & loud mufflers. Also no smog equipment.

Yes I have checked those too, oil is clean as is the coolant. Could it be vapor lock, how do I check that ?

My cj 5 starts great when cold but when warmed up to running temp stalls out, let it sit for a few (15) minutes will fire right up again. It's a 304 with edelbrock hi rise, 625 carter afb (rebuilt last year) & a healthy cam. I have added a 1" phenolic spacer under carb, new ignition switch, new...

I have a small problem with my 1974 cj5. On the bottom of the master cylinder there is a small threaded hole with a plug in it. I cannot get this hole to stop leaking. I have tried plumbers tape thread lock etc This is the 3rd mc. I have installed, the last one was a brand new unit & still it...

Not! I have used Holley's in the past. The orings start to dry out & crack then you have leaks, not a good situation. I'll stick to something simple, thanks.

Thanx, I will probably try that.

I have a 1974 cj5 with the 304 v8. It has the Edelbrock Performer manifold with a Carter AFB- 4 barrel. I want to get rid of that carb because it gives me nothing but problems. My question is: has anyone ever tried using a Ford 4100 shoebox carb on this engine ? It is 625 cfm just like the afb...

thanks
