That’s not fun. Course I had a brake line blow out on me on my way to work once and that’s how I knew the prop valve bypass still works.

Hahahaha she doesn’t leak that much actually. I might be the only vintage Jeep guy at ford but we will see.

I GOT THE JOB!!!!!

You know @boxyjeep could get this produced for us. Nudge nudge.

This would be an awesome fridge sticker!

Thanks guys. I passed my background checks, so its just a matter of getting a call at this point.

I can look at my paper catalog but before I was stripped of my digital catalog access, they were a factory decal package that came only with the Pioneer trim.

According to my paper catalog, secondary seal. But it’s door seal to prevent the rain from running down in that channel and causing rust to the hinges and what not.

Thanks Carter Ωhm, yeah I hit a point where I need a job and said well I’ll endure the madness that is fomoco part numbers. I got kinda lucky by walking in, filling out an application and interviewed in one shot.

They, being both the hiring manager and the head of receiving both loved me and the amount of time and knowledge I have put in at Dodge. So yeah here is hoping!

Looks like I might be working at a ford dealer.

Funny enough, the FSM calls for petroleum jelly to help hold the rollers in place when rebuilding but that’s also great to know.

So in my adventures of the NP229 I decided I needed to address the issue of shifting in the t-case. I finally got it all apart but before I got it apart I noted that it was very clean inside but it still was having an issue shifting. I think it is the shaft that the linkage arms on the outside and inside attach to that are giving issues and not rotating as smooth as it should. Also here's my special little hell I created on accident: These are the needle bearings for the gears that the forks slide back and forth to shift from 2wd-4wd and hi to lo. And yes all are there to my surprise and was able to sigh in relief. Gonna be fun to put back together.

I mean the cracks in the rubber of the OPs pic just have me a bit concerned. But Pete usually says to check them.

Looks like the balancer should be replaced while you have the whole front apart.

In front of them works the best but I’m sure if you got them measurements they would be able to reproduce the graphics.

Oh easy. They need original graphics, either new, repro or a vehicle that still has them.

Rare zenith needle cartridge? Interesting.

Wife and I have been doing this with the 45’s we buy from goodwill. Our way of discovering songs we might enjoy or not. Then sell the ones we don’t. My grandparents had a Hi-Fi like that, I think my cousin has it now.

Shoot! I’ll reach out today.

The only numbers that match on these jeeps is what the VIN says it should have and the date code on the block.

Knowing AMC, they are still there.

This. I have a strap under mine just in case. Not sure what it would be but wayyyyy better safe than sorry. And prevent from buying a new rim and tire.

This has a good chunk of the connectors AMC used. What I have found isnt in here is Metri280 unsealed connectors and pack-con connectors. Metripack150, weatherpack and packard series 56 connectors are in here. Delphi Connector_Catalog.pdf

Series 56 terminals.
