I got the '73 J4000 today (only 1 other bidder because they pulled the other newer Jeeps from the auction yesterday, so Olympic $x$ didn't show. ) It was built 06/73 and has a TH400/QT (no low range that I can see, or E-drive, but it has Selectro hubs?) Motor doesn't turn over (I figure rod bearing because the PO lost the oil pressure line and poorly crimped it with vise grips, so all the oil ran out) and it's either a 401, or 360 with 4 bbl. (Intake and carb will be for sale shortly, and probably the motor too. No exterior damage to the motor, so I think it was idling when it quit and coasted to a stop in the bus zone) With the hubs unlocked and trans in park, the truck doesn't roll. My new tow dolly BARELY fits the truck (I put a minor dent in the right plastic fender while trying to roll it on w/o help. It'll pop out easy enough) It has closed knuckle front axle (not sure what ratio, but the open knuckle D44 I already have will be swapped in and this one sold). Rear is either a D-60-2 or D53 (not sure how to tell them apart, but the cover has an extra bulge on the passenger's side. Pics will be posted later) It has 15" wheels on the truck (ex-dept of Holidays...err Highways truck made of other truck's pieces I think) I took pics of the emblems too. (Custom cab? V8 emblem says 360 Quadratrac) auto shift on the column. Box has rust along the floor line and the tailgate fell off while towing it home because some -at-$$#0!& stole the arms and box catches before the sale and loaded the truck with trash and paper recycle. Now I need to get rid of the '70 Ford F100 (302 auto, but no PS or PB and it needs tierods and motor/trans mounts BAD!) for $200 obo. (Just put new tabs on and it's good enough to haul trash, but it labored slightly pulling the J4000 up the hill to my place! ) I've been thinking about it, and probably, if the QT isn't working right or it's a Dana 20, I will swap in a NP208 for a Chev with TH400 (I can get one for $50) The end plan for this truck is to make a tow rig out of it (one my wife can drive too) I'm cc'ing a bunch of people about this to get some ideas about what to do with it. From: Brad 79' Honcho Subject: Re: Re: TH400 > Dana 300 Adapter Jim they are a manufacturer. I called around and you can get them for under 400 bills, still spendy though. What do you suggest instead of the QT TC? ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 May 2003 00:27:02 -0700 From: "Jim B" Subject: fsj: Re: AMC-20 Gasket question A: That's what it is alright! I quit using them, and went with regular black silicone. No leaks (after trying 2 new gaskets) Anyone want to buy a Chrome AMC 20 cover? I paid $25 for it and never got to use it. (Now I have 2 Dana 60s or 1 is Dana 53) As long as your cover is round (looks like it's hiding a basketball inside) it's a Model 20. From: "Robert H. Davis" Subject: AMC-20 Gasket question I need to replace the leaking gasket on my rear differential. The local NAPA store lists one (#P37830) that is 10 1/4" round without holes. This is a 12 bolt rear end and I expected the gasket to be with boltholes. Will this work? Any rear-end gasket sealing wisdom to share? Thanks in advance. Oh, BTW painting next month! It's coming along.

Unfortunately, shipping costs killed one deal, and one local buyer found another engine. AMC 401 long block, complete with intake, balancer and oil pan. No accessories. Turns over freely. It came from a mid-70s full-size Jeep. Should be regarded as a core engine, but may be fine with a clean-up. $450 plus shipping.

This file may be found on the web at http://www.digest.net/general-notes.txt [last revised 5/1/02; removed list of spam strings, as i'm not the only one filtering on them -- rpw] Additional information on Digest.Net's spam policies may be found at http://www.digest.net/email-policy.html and http://www.digest.net/blocked.html Table of Contents 1. Why don't my postings go through? 2. Why can't I unsubscribe? 3. How do I post to the list? 4. Where are the archives? 5. What other lists are on digest.net? 6. Is there a web subscription form? 7. Why not move the lists to someplace like (egroups, topica,...)? 8. How do I contact the server adminstrator in an emergency? 9. What is Krusty Motorsports, anyway? The Meta-FAQ 1. Why don't my postings go through? There are several things that may interfere with postings making it to the list. a) Are you a member? Some read the ftp archives rather than receiving the list in email. Persons who read the list via email are automatically members, but readers of the FTP archive are not, and need to contact me (rwelty-at-krusty-motorsports.com) and get your name added to the list of "permitted senders". b) has your email address changed? some of you have had changes in your email address. your old address still works, and is still on the list, but your From: line shows a new address. this can happen for various reasons; you may have changed jobs or ISPs, and left a forward in place, or your IT staff may have fiddled with the email system. you will need to unsubscribe your old email address and subscribe the new one. this may require my involvement, if you can't figure out a way to get your old address off the list using the conventional majordomo commands. you can use the majordomo "which" command to probe for old addresses. send a message to majordomo-at-digest.net with one or more which commands in the body, one per line. to check for potential addresses for Fred Flinstone, formerly of bedrock.org, the following commands can be sent: which flintstone which bedrock note that the matches above might return any of the following addresses, if they appear in the list (in other words, you can use vagueness and incompleteness in your recollection as a tool): Fred.Flinstone-at-bedrock.org fflinstone-at-wilma.bedrock.org flintstonef-at-bedrock.com c) do you have more than one email address? if so, only the subscribed addresses can post, unless you contact me (see 1.a) above for relevant information) d) are you using (intentionally or accidentially) special "features" of your mail client? [this section is no longer operative, as the demime software now strips html, attachments, rich text format, etc. from postings automatically.] e) are your posts too large? there is a 10,000 character limit on posting sizes; this is done for various reasons. you can always split up large postings to get mail through. f) are you including majordomo commands at the start of your message? administrivia control is turned on; this is a trap for things like "unsubscribe" at the start of a message. try to avoid obvious majordomo commands in the subject and the first 10 lines, or misspell them in obvious ways (e.g. unzubscribe, 1ndex, h3lp, g3t, etc.) g) are you triggering spam traps? some things are red flags; for example, many phrases found commonly in spam are automatically blocked. h) are you using "funky" character sets? [7 bit restriction lifted experimentally on 8/2/00 -- film at 11] unfortunately, there are "issues" if i permit any character set other than old fashioned 7 level ASCII; therefore, you need to avoid national character sets that include various accents, umlauts, national currency characters such as the British pound symbol, etc. i) are you unintentionally including complete digests in your reply? You need to check and make sure you cut down replys to the minimal size; digests are between 20,000 and 25,000 characters in length, and if you include a complete digest in your reply, it clearly won't make the 10,000 character limit. By the way, this feature is intentional. j) Are you using a "bad" ISP or mail relay? See http://www.digest.net/email-policy.html for more information about Digest.Net policies about email. k) Is the error message you get back "User Unknown"? If so, you may be running afoul of spam control severices (again, see http://www.digest.net/email-policy.html) When these services register a hit, the error code 550 is returned. 550 is a generic code that many broken mail systems report as "user unknown". The "rejectlog" entries for the previous day's mail traffic on digest.net may be viewed at http://www.digest.net/rejectlog.01 Some of you may find it useful or instructive to use the telnet program to connect directly to port 25 on krusty-motorsports.com and see what kind of reply you get; this requires some technical knowledge and is not for everyone (you can get out of this at anytime after the initial banner simply by typing quit and hitting enter.) l) Is SMTP over TLS involved? This is a bit esoteric, but as of 8/8/01 the digest.net mail server will attempt to use "TLS" (Transport Layer Security) for outbound mail if the destination mail server offers it. SMTP over TLS is fairly new technology, and a bit buggy. I am monitoring the logs on the server, and when I see TLS related problems, I manually place the problem destinations on a special exception list; however, this may delay email to the destination host until I make the exception. 2. Why can't I unsubscribe? a) are you using the right address? send to majordomo-at-digest.net, and the command format is unsubscribe list-name my-email-address b) has your email address changed? majordomo has no way of knowing that Fred.Flinstone-at-BarneyCo.com was once fflintstone-at-bedrock.org. you can check this with the which command (see 1.b) above for details) 3. How do I post to the list? You may use either one of two addresses: for example, the bmw-digest may be reached using either bmw-at-digest.net or bmw-digest-at-digest.net If you are using the correct addresses and your posts don't show up, check out the stuff in 1. above. 4. Where are the archives? see ftp://ftp.digest.net/ for digest archives. the web archives have proven problematic, and are awaiting time for a systematic attack on the problems they've been having. 5. What other lists are on digest.net? see http://www.digest.net/ for more information. 6. Is there a web subscription form? Yes, recently added. go to http://www.digest.net/bin/digest-subs.cgi 7. Why not move the lists to someplace like (egroups, topica,...)? The Krusty Motorsports server (aka, digest.net) was explicitly to provide for efficient management of the various automotive mailing lists, done the way that the owner of the server wanted it done. Any migration off of the server (which is already bought, paid for, and configured) would create any number of issues. 8. How do i contact the Server Administrator in an emergency? If my regular email address (rwelty-at-krusty-motorsports.com) isn't working for you, you can fall back on rwelty-at-suespammers.org 9. What is Krusty Motorsports, anyway? Krusty Motorsports (http:/www.krusty-motorsports.com/) is a business which is owned and operated by Richard Welty (rwelty-at-krusty-motorsports.com). Krusty is an S-Corporation in the State of New York. Krusty provides a number of Internet related services, such as mailing list, web sites, pop3/telnet accounts, and consulting on internet related issues.
