  1. No clue how long you’re staying on I-90, I know you can take I-35 south through Iowa when you get to Albert Lea, MN, but the roads are great here along I-90 in this part of WI
  2. Echoing above, which engine and trans do you have? If you’ve got the Peugeot, there’s not much you can do about it, other than put another slave cylinder in it. If you’ve got an AX5 or AX15, swapping to an external slave cylinder would be the way to go.
  3. Thanks for the link!
  4. Lmao, do you really expect me to read? I still stand by two spark plug wires possibly being swapped
  5. Glad to hear this went well. I’m dreading the day that my car needs them.
  6. I was thinking maybe a couple of spark plug wires got switched if any plugs were pulled for any reason
  7. I couldn’t give up an all terrain either. If you and I are thinking of the same Goodyear Wranglers, those would be perfect and not have too much bite. I just wanted to make sure you didn’t want to go with a mud terrain or very aggressive all terrain. I would say that 237/75s are a very common tire. Most 70s-90s 4x4s had them. I think that was just unlucky. 15s are definitely getting harder to find though. Just like how 14s became obsolete when 15s came out, 15s are getting phased out now that everything is on 17s or bigger for the most part.
  8. Losing and regaining grip or clutch dumps on dry surfaces and it not spinning the tires is going to be what will break axle shafts. That can be as simple as not dumping the clutch when it’s dry and if you’re in a situation where you lose grip, lift off the gas. Don’t stay in it because that’ll be extra shock when the tires hook up again. If you drive smart, the D35 will live. Between me and my parents, 5 out of our 6 D35s have survived abuse and clutch dumps. The 6th one was an AMC 15 (Dana later bought this design and called it the 35) and was behind an auto, but had 2 piece axle shafts and the spines where the two pieces meet stripped out. I have another D35 with a locker that was on a lifted XJ with 4:10s and survived, but I haven’t run it at all. If you’re worried about it, find a different component to be your weak link. In the case of our Jeeps, the tires were always the weak link. They’d break loose before the axle would break. Unless you’re dead set on 31x10.50R15s, it might be worth looking into 30x9.50R15 tires or even stick with 235/75R15s. The smaller contact patch will perform better in the snow and it will hopefully break loose on dry pavement before damage occurs. You don’t need huge tires or lockers to be able to play off road. I wish I learned that earlier because it can save a lot of time and money. That said, there’s nothing wrong with having big tires because they look cool. Or consider the tire compound. Maybe look at a tire that’s designed more for road use than for trail use. A more road friendly tire will most likely have a harder compound and spin easier than a more aggressive off road tire.
  9. Fuel pump or fuel sending unit? The sending unit is the one that reads the level.
  10. How much fuel is in the tank? I’d hope it’s out of fuel haha.
  11. You are correct. All of the kits require trimming though.
  12. I believe they’re all made by ACC. The reproduction vinyl flooring is garbage, it didn’t fit well in my truck either. I replaced it with ACC carpet from rock auto and am very happy with it. I’ve got ACC carpet in my Eagle too and it’s been great.
  13. The firing order should be somewhere on the intake. To set the timing, make sure the rotor is pointed at the #1 terminal of the distributor cap when cylinder 1 is at TDC of the compression stroke.
  14. How does the vacuum line to the pressure regulator look?
  15. Are you sure the timing and firing order are correct?
  16. I second this. They look period correct, yet have great light output without breaking the bank.
  17. Is the gas still good? Let me get this straight, the engine turns, but it won’t fire and run, correct?
  18. One of my favorites!
  19. That seems like a pretty fair price for that. Factory aluminum valve cover, NP129 and non disconnect transfer case, two of the most important engine mods IMHO (HEI and MC2100), plus the rare sport style steering wheel. That’ll make a great car for someone.
  20. Very straight. Turned out nicely.
  21. If the door gaps are fine, I’m sure it’s good to go. That looks like it might be able to be fixed with paintless dent repair.
  22. I think this is the first I’ve seen you post since I’ve been on the forum. And I’ve been here something like 5 1/2 years. Glad to hear you’ve still got it.
  23. There could be a number of factors causing this. Faulty fuel pressure regulator allowing too much fuel pressure, could be an injector hanging open, or could be a faulty oxygen sensor. I’d start by making sure that the vacuum line for the regulator is hooked up.
  24. So both APC and APB are both two tone codes? Could one be for the truck being two tone and the other code be for the stripe separating the colors?
