If every hoarder of MJ tail lights would all dump them on the market at the same time, You couldn't get $5 apiece for one.

Will a AX15 from a XJ fit a Dakota? 2.5 engine. Or a BA10. Or let's put it another way. Will the Dodge 2.5 fit in a MJ? Looking at nice Dakota, clean interior, rust dent free bod, good running engine, Bad tranny. Belongs to nice lady who's husband recently passed and she needs the money

I did install one FI in a Jeep. Being a old fart I don't understand computers so instead of wiring up a ECU I placed 8 push buttons on the console. I think my mistake was in trying to use a V8 instead of a 6. I had each button wired up to a fuel injector. When I wanted a cylinder to fire I just pushed the button for that cylinder. I could do all right up to 1500-1600 rpm but then I started to get confused as to which button to push. Never had that problem with carburetors. :D

Gonna offer him $50 for the tail lights.

No EFI. All carbs. Used the motor mounts for the engine and fabricated an adapter welded to the frame for the mount to sit on. Kept the Ford bell housing made an adapter plate to fit between the BH and Jeep tranny. Many of the Ford clutch discs fit the Jeep input shaft. If I couldn't find one then I used a Jeep disk. Get a pilot bushing from Advance Adapters. Get the necessary senders that worked with Jeep gauges or used after market gauges. Actually I found them to be easy, relatively speaking, to swap. Used mostly 289's but a couple 302's.

I have nothing that looks like that. Everything I have is just a hole in the pillar with a seat belt reel in it. No bucket.

'buffalob' timestamp='1358365260' post='370275'] This getting old $#!& sucks... eyes are going... wrists hurt... mind going....what's next? Tell me about it. And walking around with a 3/8 X 12 inch stainless steel rod in the left leg doesn't help. But I ain't complaining. Doc wanted to amputate it.

I have probably done 'over 20' V8 swaps into Jeeps. No MJ or XJ. Just CJ, and FSJ I used 1 Buick 350, 2 chevy 350 and one Chevy 327. I used SB Fords on all the others. And I'm not a Ford guy. My reasoning being the 150-200 lb weight difference. And the dizzy placement.

Sure looks nice. Good work.

That's the way I do it. So there must be something wrong with doing it that way. :yes:

Wanting to be different I dropped a V 12 engine from a 1931 Duesenberg into my Jeep. I regretted that decision the first time I went to buy parts for it. :yes:

That's your emergency brake handle. If the foot brakes fail, you drop out of the cab and as the truck rolls over you, you reach up and push it up.

Well that explains why they haven't delivered the two I ordered last month.

Dumass? isn't he the guy that wrote The Three Wierd Sword slingers?

Suggest you contact Craigslist. Sounds like a scammer to me. You might save someone a couple bucks.

Check ebay. There's always a couple hundred Chilton and Haynes listed. If you're going to be serious about maintaining your Jeep then get a FSM. Factory service manual. Also on ebay.

The way I'm always speeding, the whole Jeep vibrates. Can't pin it down to just one component.

Agrees with everything that's been said, so far.

BSEE, CTI. '73

No problem. They'll work OK.

Always preferred the direct approach. No misunderstandings that way. "Cultered", Isn't that what they make buttermilk and mold out of?

If enough people can get jobs and get back to work, maybe the Republicans can win next election? Or is that to political?

Now that is one big 10-4

Was in a bar in San Sebastion entertaining a young Senorita one night. She asked me how us Americans get what we want when we can't speak the language. Simple I replied. We just walk in a bar waving a 100 Peseta note with one hold and holding our (bleep) with the other.
