Subject: Good evening from Whittier, California
I just started reading the FSJ List and have a couple of questions.
1) I'm under the impression that someone out there in Web land has a
Cherokee/Wagoneer that they put a 455 in. I also suspect that this is a
Buick motor, correct? I'm also a Buick fan and have a '64 Skylark that will
be getting a 455 in the next few months. Anyway, my question to you is: What
kind of milage do you get with your 455 FSJ???
2) When off-roading and going down extreme downhills I could use more
front-end braking, does anybody know of an upgrade to the front brakes of a
'78 Cherokee (It came with disks from the factory)? I've been contemplating
swapping in both front and rear diffs from a J-20 truck but don't know how
much more beefy the front brakes are.
Thanks in advance.

about it :)

the axles on the j20 are WIDER than on ur chero. the difference in the front
discs is 1" (12" stock chero, 13" stock j20) u can, as im gonna do,
put in rear discs, or as i HAVE done, put in a lo-gear set for the th400.
also, bleed out ALL ur ole brake fluid, put in fresh DOT 3 or 4, and make
sure their bled correctly!!

Today being Friday? No, Becky and I went to Woodinville in the
little wagoneer to the new Chinese resturaunt in what used to be
Creekside... I think Old Blue was home at that time. I did take
him down to Bellevue in the morning, and then over to Airport
Welding, but had him home by 11:30 am...
So there's another one like Old Blue? He's kind of unique in that
he has a padded vinyl roof, sunroof with deflector and an unusual
looking rear carrier with no tire on it right now...
later,
john

Christ also told that adultress to GO AND SIN NO MORE. I don't care if you're Jerry Falwell, a Jim Baker, a Jim Jones, the most liberal "God is Love" biblically unaware Social Gospel "Christian" with a "cut-n-paste" theology blessing all kinds of things the Bible condemns, or just a plain old hick that can read God's Word, YOU MUST BALANCE SCRIPTURE AND HANDLE IT WISELY if you're gonna claim it all... It's a good thing to serve those in need and care about them. But what do you do about this?: Rom 1:22-28 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures. 24 Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, that their bodies might be dishonored among them. 25 For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27 and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. 28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper,... (NAS) ----- Remember when I shared that post I left it OPEN for anyone with either view to let Chrysler know what they felt, I didn't say go and bash (insert whatever label you prefer here). Name calling doesn't do anyone any good. All sides of an issue have a right to state their case, that was the intent of making everyone aware of the opportunity. But sin is sin and the grossest sins are even recognized by those who have little or no light. On the other hand, to group everyone together on either side of the issue carte blanche isn't right either. Recognizing that with as many of us as there are on the list there will be differing views. When an issue of social concern comes up, it's important for us to know and make our opinions known. WE ALL NEED TO BE CAREFUL when posting any social or political issue that we provide the opportunity for those with whom we disagree to fairly voice their opinions too. BALANCE is important. I don't like it sometimes when it goes against what I want or believe, but if whatever it that I believe is TRUE, it will prevail. It's amazing how we can rationalize things, cognitive dissonance is an amazing thing. Tobacco company executives might even relate smoking to eating Gummy Bears, ya just never know... For me, the only absolute in this world is the Word of God, so on issues like this, it's pretty cut and dried, but that doesn't give me the right to knock someone upside the noggin' with the Book or call names... reconciliation AND repentance is the preferred approach, as displayed by Christ. ----------------------------------------------------------------- THE NATURAL LIFE CYCLE OF MAILING LISTS I enjoyed the non-FSJ post about list maturity.... We've been at level 4 for a long, long time, but we're creeping toward level 5, unfortunately... actually we've been in and out for a while... but if you disagree with me, I'll just quit the list... <grin> (just kidding... :-) ----------------------------- Doc, you and Timex are quite a team... You are nuts, but that's what makes you doc... You HAVE to get that transfer case fixed, just think, with all those sinkholes down there you may have to extract a freight train or something... :-) ----------------------------- So, let's get back to our regularly scheduled FSJ content and let this topic alone... no more bashing and no more holier than thou stuff... cool? I was gonna talk about Old Blue, but I'll send a "clean" message and hope y'all forget about the other topics for a while... and, for the RECORD, the Buick engine stuff is RELEVANT to all of us.

KEN Where did you get your lo gear set for your tranny??Ive seen them
advertised thru TCI but never commanded the strength to ask HOW MUCH??I also
wondered if you have a problem with breaking front axles since our set ups
are close in the same.If you are,are you purchasing axles thru
aftermarket??I have looked into trying to find aftermarket axles that are
better than OEM but cant seem to find any.I brake at least one axle every
other trail trip.I break them on the shaft itself not by the u-joint.
Another question is do you run a 60 rear?If so where did you find rear discs?

Subject: Low Range and other Q's
I'm new to this list and have a few questions.
1)I was out driving and put it in low range, I started off and went about 25
mph. The thing is, it wouldn't shift out of first. Is this normal? My Jeep is a
1979 Wagoneer that is bone stock.
2)I need a 1piece rear bumper. I looked at the junkyard, but all they had were 3
piece bumpers.
3)What is the thing in the engine that says "tach test"? It is next to the air
cleaner and has a wire going to the distributer.
If anyones interested there are two or three Wagoneers for sale up here, I
may be able to get you some info.

no, d44 F n R!

many companies have conversion kits for the 60 and the d44, stanless
steel brake and tsm come to mind. look in the back of the 4x4 mags for them.

Bend swap meet with a little bit of money left over. Found to get a few goodies for the Lark & managed to not buy any more cars :) As expected, talked to a couple of fellow fsj'ers who also have Studie's (one is a friend that I'd forgoten about his J10 affliction :) ). Neither are on the web yet but said they'd find a way to check out the sites. The new fella I met is from Michigan & he has a wagon & j10. He was impressed with the parts book I got from Zack (BTW Zack, I gave him your address & he said he'll write you for one). I gave him one of the decals I got from Joe. On the way home, I stopped to drop off a windshield at Joe's house. Unfortunately I missed him & met Joe Jr. (sorry Joe, I forgot his name). He's the one who made the decals. Sounds like he has a cool job making the graphics which go on the Indy 500 cars. Did get a glimpse of the Cherokee with the plow mount. Another wierd thing is the '66 impala. I put a zillion miles on a '66 hardtop when I was younger. That was one of my favorite cars. Joe, it looks like your son will have a nice ride when the convertible is done. BTW JOe, If you don't like the glass (it has some fogging at the bottom I'd forgotten about) let me know & I'll pick it up whenever I'm passing thru again. No hurry on my part.

He also has FSJ owners manuals for the following years: '80, 81, 82, 83, & '84. They sell for $8.00 each (I bought one for my new '83). He also has some O.E. decals which he called air cleaner stickers (but maybe were valve cover decals). The V8 ones say "4 barrel 360" or "4 barrel 401" (the numbers are much larger than the text). There weren't any "258" ones but he did have "232's". They measure approx. 1 1/2 x 4. He sell them for $1.50. I got one & will check out where it fits best before getting anymore. Let me know if anyones interested & I'll look up his number & address. Mike Saltsgaver.[Back to Top]
