I saw a very nice, just restored 1 owner 76 J20. The guy said he put $7,000
into it. It had a 4v 360, RV cam, Jacobs ignition, factory PTO winch, <as
opposed to the wenches advertised on some jeeps> 5th wheel, and green interior.
He said he wants to sell it for $6,500 in about 6 months. Its only fault was
the fact that ford hubcaps were used.

When breaking<As in slowing, or is that spelled differently?> the forces on the
front axel will try to twist it, pulling the bottem of the back in a spring over
truck where blocks would be used. The block would act as a lever, then you're
in trouble, I'm not sure what would break first though. I'm not sure if it
would cause axel hop, but if it does this is bad for both control and stoping.
Rear blocks are OK because a much lower percent of stoping is done with the rear
axel, but will increase axel hop, although this can be curbed with traction
bars.

Tommy's PAGE IS DONE!
Claus' Page has coherent text!
I lunched one of my NT machines... my kid says, "Dad, we need more
disk space on the 586, why don't you take Linux off of it, you
never use it...". "Sure son", says dingaling Dad as he goes in
nice and neatly with fdisk and removes the three Linux partitions,
boots up, formats the new partition in NT and then reboots the machine
only to find it printing one "L" and perpetual 0's across the screen.
oops... it seems that the Boot Sector is looking for Lilo.conf... oh my.
Look in the NT books. Nada. Look in the Linux book... oh oh. Seems that
if you mess up the boot block you have to reformat the hard drive... Ok,
but please mr. microsoft, let me boot up one more time in NT so I can copy
all the files over my network to a different harddrive before I format the
disk...
So the question for anybody out there is HOW DO I CREATE A BOOT DISK FOR NT
4.0 workstation???? The repair disks are NOT bootable... If I load the
install stuff to repair it doesn't catch the boot sector problem... I
installed NT again into the new partition thinking that it would redo the
boot sector, nope.
Anyways... I'm tired. But by golly. I got Tommy's pictures all scanned in
and set up. Claus' page is also setup.

They may be aimed either with mechanical aimers or by using a screen. If Mechanical Aimers C-3674 are used, follow instructions supplied by the aiming equipment. If a screen is to be used, preparation for aiming is as follows: (1) Locate vehicle in a darkened area with level floor and with screen (wall) having nonreflecting white surface. (2) Mark reference line on floor 25 feet away from and parallel to screen (fig. 3-68). (3) Position vehicle perpendicular to screen and with headlamps directly over reference line. (4) Locate middle tape on screen so it is aligned with centerline of vehicle. (5) Equalize all tire pressures. (6) Rock vehicle from side to side to equalize springs and shock absorbers. (7) Measure distance between vehicle headlamp centers. (8) Position marker tapes vertically on screen to right and left of middle tape at half this distance. (9) Measure distance from center of each lamp to surface on which vehicle rests. (10) Position marker tape horizontally on screen to cross vertical tapes at measured height of each lamp center respectively. (11) Remove headlamp doors. (12) Clean headlamps. (13) Turn headlamps on low beam. NOTE: Cover the lamp not being aimed. (14) Turn vertical aiming screw counterclockwise until lamp beam is considerably lower than horizontal reference line on screen (fig. 3-69). (15) Turn screw clockwise until top edge of high intensity area is even with horizontal line. (16) Turn horizontal aiming screw counterclockwise until beam is off centering tape. (17) Turn same screw clockwise until left edge of high intensity area is 2 inches to right of lamp centerline (fig. 3-68). (18) Cover lamp that has been aimed and aim other lamp using same procedure. (19) Replace headlamp doors. I added step 19 as it was pretty obviously missing. I could scan figs. 3-68 and 3-69 and email them direct to anyone interested, but this is pretty clear without them.

Destroys springs and streches U-Bolts. Aluminum lift blocks crush too. So blocks loosen up, and often they have a little bit of taper in them to combat driveshaft angularity. So with loose blocks and a little bit of taper they can spit out. There was a guy at my high school who did a nine inch block lift, front and rear with wood blocks. The truck would regularly fall off the blocks. The guy eventually got himself killed. TPI for a Buick 350 or AMC 360...wow would that be cool.

The problem is I'm customizing a 79 Wag dashboard and I don't like the placement of the heater or air conditioner controls. I want to get them all in one unit.

I even have the new chain and gasket kit. JUST NO TIME! I can't even keep up with this list any more. How difficult is it (how much time) to drop the t-case, fix a rear tranny fluid leak, and put this chain in? Is that the 4-5 hours you were referring to? I only have the standard shade-tree equipment, no lifts or anything. Thanks, Ron Its no excuse for procastination, but I do have two spare t-cases if this one explodes. This one has the best clutches though, because it falls in torque spec.[Back to Top]

Date: Mon, 10 Feb 1997 19:04:12 -0800 From: "Gordon McKenzie" <gordmck-at-direct.ca> Subject: Jeep Name and Oil Pressure Major confusion O.K., I came up with a name for my Jeep. See, it's big, kinda dumb (no flames please) awkward but a real beast and really great for pulling. Sorta like an OX. So that's it's name now. OX. Gotta get that on a plate I guess. So, another dumb oil pressure question, but I'm confused. Just drove to Vancouver for the weekend (why I'll never know) and found my oil pressure acting dumb (again). I complained once before that I lose pressure at about 100K (60 mph) but what I found in this trip is that I lose pressure under load and it isn't a speed or rpm thing. Staying at 100 kph, I lose pressure climbing a hill and go back to what I think is normal (about 40) going down a hill. This was consistent over 500 miles and is consistent with what it has been doing since I bought it. Now I have rebuilt the oil pump and this added about 10 pounds of pressure across the board, but didn't fix my problem. Any one with any ideas? this didn't make sense to the guy at the Jeep Dealership (one place where they do know FSJ's and have several in their scrap yard) and doesn't make sense to me. I am going to hook in a mechanical gauge next weekend to check my gauge but if anyone has any bright ideas, let me know.

I do have the emergency repair disk. But the problem isn't with

Anybody know how to make an NT boot disk???? Microsoft strikes

Subject: Re: Block Lifts and TPIs
I must be getting old or something... but my desire to put a
Diesel in Old Blue is diminishing... the thought of a nice quiet
MPI V-8 with a 4spatod setup is more attractive... as Ken Cyr
has validated, near 20mpg is possible with the right modern equipment...
hmmmm.... now all I need is money, or a job that pays money... I
think I'm going to look for a permanent job, this consulting stuff
is great, but it seems everyone takes their time bringing you on...
I'm getting a lot done... Started wiring the office today... gotta
fix the valve train on the 4.0L tomorrow... getting all kinds of
cool stuff done, VERY PRODUCTIVE... shoot, if unemployment continues
for another week or two I might even get the vibrations out of Old
Blue...
We took Old Blue into Snohomish tonight for a pizza at Alfy's... no
wait, he didn't get any pizza, we did... anyways, he didn't seem to
be doing too bad. But that tranny is spewing cherry juice... front
seal or torque converter must really be wasted...
Anybody want to buy a running 360 and tf727??? they work fine, just leak...
later,

yep. about $148 Chevy SB to AMC transmission...
Save your bucks and have your TH400 recased... Cost about
the same but a much better setup... no spacers on your torque
converter...
