Subject: Re: another PNW FSJ Fest???
David,
You say when and I'll have at least two other FSj's here... If
nothing else we'll meet over at Tom's, he's got about 7 in his
backyard... :-)
What works for you?
I was thinking that maybe the fourth of July weekend might be
a good time. I dunno. Roti, Allan, Java Joe, Eddie, Ron, Alise, and
any other lurkers in the neighborhood... Any suggestions?
I tried to put together some FSJ's for Mark Wallace's visit last year
but no one showed up...
Let's see if we can coordinate this thing well enough for a large
number of FSJ's to appear, in fact, I may even do up a flyer and get
non-list FSj'rs to meet with us and maybe get the PNW IFSJA group
enlarged... I know of two or three FSJ nuts without computers that
have virtual wrecking yards at their houses...
I know Ken Wetherall thinks we would even make it into Four
Wheeler...
I could even work towards getting the event sorta sponsored even...
Perhaps we could meet at a Jeep dealer or some other large parking
lot near a restuarant so we could hang out for a few hours so
everyone will have the opportunity to meet up. The gears are
turning... Hey Roti, why don' t you give me a jingle and let's put
our marketing heads together for something that will be fun and drag
all these FSJ's running around here together for something fun and
inexpensive... :-) In fact, I hope to be working on Old Blue
saturday morning (unless I get reassigned to yard work), why don't
you wander over...
Java Joe mentioned the possibility of being over here later in June
as well... Eddie, how's Ole White doing??? Up to a trip down here?
Maybe we could pass the hat and contribute something toward your
fuel... I'm sure if we all kicked in something we could fill your
tank to send you back safely...
I guess the three folks we need to calibrate on would be David
Klingenberg, Eddie and Java Joe. There are also a couple other
FSJ'rs in Idaho that might be able to make it out here. And of
course Brad's down in Portland... come on Brad, you don't NEED
reverse to make it up here... :-)
Come on folks, we've got to show these other IFSJA chapters how it's
done... :-)
Let's keep this item open and active.

Care to trade for a gas shock swing down unit??? You can see it on
the back of Old Blue, it works fine, and might even have his spare on
it this weekend if I get the auxillary tank and new hitch on...
(might have to fix the gray wagoneer first... too many projects).
If you're interested I'll just swap you... It's a good unit, I'll
even throw in the extra bracket I fabricated for behind my aluminum

yours...)

I dunno, I bought my Jacobs coils and wires a few years ago,
it's a regular looking coil, paid about $60 for it and about the same
for the wires...
If you can, just getting the wires will make a difference! A set
might run close to $80, but they MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE. I've tried
all the fancy colored sets you can find, Accel, Motorcraft, Mopar,
AC, and so on and so on... The Jacobs wires are the best....
I may look into that module for Old Blue once I get other projects
out of the way...

From: ck1-at-pacbell.net
Subject: Shopping List: 1970 Wag
OK... There have been several really great responses to my posts
for a glovebox door and radiator, so I thought I'd take a 'walk
around' and see what else needs replacement. If anyone has any
of these items, please reply via e-mail with your asking price.
I'm sure that after the rig gets back on the road and goes
through a complete shakedown, I'll have more to add to the list.
Also, there is a yard here locally that says they have a couple
Full Size Jeeps, and as soon as 'Pinecone' gets OTRA, I'll be
checking those out and posting more about what's available there.
All items (unless otherwise noted) are for a 1970 Jeep Custom
Wagoneer (1414C393#####). The vehicle is a mid-forest green
metallic exterior with tan pinstripe package, and the interior
metal and upholstery are light tan colored. The engine appears
to be the V8-350 Dauntless 2-bbl model (as stated by the serial
number series), although I haven't been able to get to the
casting numbers yet to confirm this.
BTW: Can someone tell me if there was an OEM power steering
bracket available that DID NOT have the integrated mount
for the Air-Conditioning compressor ? I might consider a
trade as I don't think I'll be putting the AC back in,
because I'd have to replace MANY of the components.
I'd like to clean up the engine compartment a bit, and
getting this massive steel bracket out would be a BIG help.
'The List' begins (episode one):
1) OEM or direct replacement Radiator (complete unit) with mounts
No holes please - already got one-o-dem :)
Also Fan Shroud if you have it.
2) Interior Rear View Mirror (head, stalk, and base) prefer OEM
No worn out joints please (I have enough of those myself...)
3) Arm Rests (all 4 doors) with mounting screws
4) Dome Light Fixture and lens
5) Ash Trays (front drivers and passengers - the ones above the
glovebox) and mounting brackets/slides/fasteners
6) TailGate Window Mechanical (Electric or Manual) Don't need Glass
7) Hood Adjustment stops (the bolts with the rubber pads and
plastic 'expand' nuts that fit in body
8) Right Front Cornering lamp lens
9) OEM Wheel covers with cutout in front for hubs
10) HeadLight trim rings and fasteners
11) Right Rear Taillight - Complete Lower Half housing/trim
12) Wind Wing Frame - Drivers side (with good latch)
I have good glass, but if the price is right will take all
13) Defroster/Heater air output hoses
14) Battery tray and hold-down clamps
That's it for now. Thanks for taking the time to look through
this list, and please let me know via E-Mail if you have items.
I apologize if the list is a bit hard to read, but I thought it
excessive to put a blank line in between each item...
| All the Best to You and Yours,

and what Channel on TV was WLS? ;-)
for extra, extra credit - WHAT DID WLS STAND FOR? :-)

Not likely... the problem comes when it's opened a little... I've
found that mine leaks around the j-clips for the wind deflector, I
used a little bit of the foam weatherstrip tape and that seemed to
stop it...

RTV is fine. Nothing is required. Gear lube is thick enough that

It can fire more than one spark but only if its needed. The Jacobs senses the sparks of the plugs and uses a microprossesor to adjust the voltage of the coil. so if a cylinder needs little voltage to burn the mixture it will have that or if it needs much it will get that. (at least thats the theory very roughly explained) The MSD simply fires a bunch of sparks all the time hoping at least one of them lightends the air/fuel mixture. Something like ten hunters with shotguns shooting one duck. I have tried the MSD system and it did the same as my chrysler ignition, only at a higher price Frank Norway[Back to Top]

Folks, As I go thru computer engineering(it's good to know that age and guile can still beat young and quick in school, But that's another story) at SWCC, my part time job is sporting goods at WallyWorld(WalMart). After I returned from swampy Southeast Asia, I vowed I'd never handle another firearm. In the next 33 years in an urban environment, my views were validated. After working at WW and meeting the folks who buy our rifles I've changed my mind. These folks aren't killing there wives and Bambi, they're hunting, teaching thier kids a culture, in the main, they handle them with respect. The ones who want to buy automatic weapons for "protection" still creep me out, but the hunter/fisher guys are cool. BTW, there were a ton of turkeys(poultry version) up here. They're coming back.

Subject: gee...
I guess I must need to take the time to actually READ messages.... I
thought he said he didn't want to hear about J-trucks! SORRY!
Anyway... if ya don't want an SJ, then by all means get the Ford! <grin>.
Can y'all find it in your hearts to forgive me? <smile>

Subject: razza fragga kronkin'....
I don't get it.... still won't idle, but she DEFINITELY has more power
than before. LOTS more, it seems like. I did find a vacuum leak last
night, evidentally I must have more. Just got home from work, will take a
look after she cools down.
Starter problems I told y'all about: wierd stuff... starter works once
or twice, then kronks up. Won't engage at all! Pull starter, re-install
starter without doing a kronking thing to it. Works fine. Once. Next
time, crunch zing bang. Time after that, crunch zing bang wheeeeeeeeee! no
work. Pull starter, re-install starter without doing a kronking thing to
it. Works fine. Once. Next time, crunch zing bang. Time after that,
crunch zing bang wheeeeeeeeee! no work. Pull starter, re-install starter
without doing a kronking thing to it. etc. etc. etc... Starter going back
to Pep Boys in a little while, after they open, and after the exhaust cools.
Neat dumb SJ owner trick this morning... was at the light right around
the corner from the house, stalled. Starter no workie. Got out of truck
to ask kind soul behind me to give me a push (thank God I don't like autos,
eh?). He says ok, I walk back up to Timex. Door locked. I guess I really
do need to take that kronking lock apart and fix the spring, eh? Good
thing I habitually drive with the vent window open. Had to swing mirror
out of way to open vent far enough to reach arm in to ignition and grab
keys. With traffic inches from my butt. And of course the ignition switch
isn't quite as easy to operate, especially the key release lever, with your
arm twisted behind your back, reaching over the steering column, etc,
etc.... sheesh.
And y'all wanna mess with me about ONE little message............... the
FSJ god is getting me good this week....
