Try losening the diff cover bolts, the bolts that hold the t-case to the tranny, and the power stearing hols fittings! That ought to get some good leaks going. If that doesn't get things good and oily, losen the transmission pan bolts too (if its an auto). Losening the valve cover gaskets usually gets some good drippage as well. Let us know if it works!

But I have one other question: Do I need to replace the little "valve" at the end of the air vent tube to the front differential? The old one is broken off. OK, now the truth comes out. The reason I'm changing the oil in the differential at all is related to this small piece of plastic. After I changed the fluid return line to my power steering pump, I decided to give the engine compartment a bath (it was very filthy under there!) After a good wash down with pretty good water pressure, I noticed I was spraying water right down the end of a small hose with a broken off plastic cap. I traced the hose... You guessed it! Right into the front differential. Well, I'm not to smart, but I know water in the diff is a bad thing. So that's what kicked off the beginning of the project to change the fluid in the diffs. Sometimes I think I'm the reason for most of my "necessary" repairs! Laurence[Back to Top]

>So whats up with soon to EARN a different name TIMEX?
Hell, it ain't her fault.... it's just lack of time, kronky weather (it's
summer here in sunny Florida... quit laughing, Tom), and that's about it.
She may not want to idle, nor start, but she STILL gets me back and forth
to work. So THERE!
The previous record was out in Phoenix when she had no rear driveshaft, no
clutch, no starter, no rear brakes, and a massively leaking rear main seal.
Till the starter went, I still drove her 62 miles each way to work. Right
now, she's just got no starter, not much for rear brakes, no transfer case
chain or bottom, chunks out of the tranny gears, but she doesn't suck oil
into the air cleaner anymore!
Oh, an update on the open PCV conversion, for those interested.... I
think I need to get the proper doohickey for that... The little "peanut"
filter I used doesn't seem to want to stay in the hole, and oil's seeping
around it. But it's still better than filling the air cleaner! Let's see,
what's it been, two weeks, and my air filter is still nice and white (paper
stock-type, haven't gotten around to replacing the K&N yet).
Welp, 'bout time for me to finish this cup of coffee (just got up about 45
minutes ago) and go perform surgery on you-know-who...

HEY GUYS:
The first thing is thanks to john for the great pictures of my fsj on
his page. I showed it to everyone at work, they all got a kick out of it. I
couldn't beleive the spelling mistakes I made, I thought I used the spell
checker, but O well. The update on the page looks great.
The other day I checked out a looks to be a late 60s fsj in a public
lot for selling veh. The owner had cut the roof off from the top of the front
windshield all the way back. It would make a pretty good parts veh. I guess.
I also saw a late 60s fsj in a MTV song video. It was rolling through the
desert with some people on the roof. Didn't like song but the jeep was great. I
surffing the channels when I found it, I don't watch MTV or let my young kids.
I'm thinking of making my own pins to disconnect the sway bar, doesn,t
look to be very diffcult. Anyone had any exp. on the subject. Also might put a
set of white spoke rims 15x8 on and put a set of winter tires on the factory
rim, seen other FSJ with the white spokes, I like the looks.
Those of you that have tilt steering wheel notice any playin the
shaft at the joint, mine seems lose.

Subject: woo hoo!
She's BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!
I had the kronking phenolic spacer on upside down. Flipped it over,
tossed the carb back on, hit the key, vrummmmmm..... just goes to show,
that true to form, "if it looks like it obviously has to go this way, it
won't fit or work the other way" then it goes on the other way... got the
mixture set somewhat close, idle speeds right on. Well, curb and fast
idle... solevac kronked the bed, or bad wiring or something. She runs
well enough I didn't feel like kronking with her anymore tonight, just
raised the curb idle up a little bit to compensate. Idles almost smooth as
silk. I figure when I get her to the tune-up shop to get the final
adjusting done, and clean the plugs (hey, they don't need replacing yet,
they've only got about 80,000 miles on them - Bosch Platinums), she'll be
like glass!
Whoa, she's got MUCH more power now! And WAY quieter (she never was very
loud anyway)! I can even hear the turn signals now at idle (but not while
moving, because of the tires).
Took the starter back to Pep Boys, they didn't have any more "lifetime
warranty" ones, so they gave me a one-year warranty one and said they'd
honor the lifetime warranty. I said no prob, I've known the managers and
most of the guys working there for years, and besides, there ain't no real
difference. I know, I used to rebuild starters and alternators for a
living... Not for long, though, but enough to know that.
Anyway, I had no problem with that... it's happened before, where they
were temporarily out of stock of the limetime part, and I accepted the
one-year, and never had to replace that part again! So, true enough, this
is the first starter she's had in about five years that sounded correct,
and she's had LOTS of them... cranked 'er up about 50 times, in addition
to the repeated times I had to crank her to fill the carb and fire her up,
and no change, no strange noises, no problems. Cool...
She's alive, ladies and gentlemen, and feeling MUCH better now. Wasn't an
expensive job, either... 12 bucks for the carb kit, 8 for the gallon can
of carb cleaner, about six for all the vacuum hose I bought. Oh, yeah, and
I think six bucks or so for the heater hose and hose clamps, if that much.
BUT.... I lost the "peanut" filter I was using on the PCV system... must
have popped off on the way home this morning, or perhaps on the way to work
last night. Heck, for all I know it could also be sitting on top of the
tranny.... <shrug>. So maybe tomorrow I'll spring for the seven bucks for
a fancy chrome jobber...
Time to take a shower and get ready for work. Ciao!

Let me know if that will help and give me an address. I bought the manual (original and BEAUTIFUL) for $35 from: Auto Literature Shoppe Fort Littleton, PA 1-800-526-7099 They are a family business and give great service.

He says, "If it works, don't spend anymore." I had asked about a complete rebuild. He said if chains and bearings are OK, leave them alone. I like this guy, he lives in town (1800 people), has an impeccable rep. First question -- any "nudges" I should give him on stuff to check? And, the nagging question, and I'm embarrassed to ask, is this a good deal? Jack[Back to Top]

Air cleaner snorkel, it has a vacuum hose running off > of this...where does it go? I guess that the vacuum port on the side of the carb is the "Ported vacuum" so I hooked this up to the yo-yo thing, then hooked it up to the 1st port on the TCS. I have a manifold vacuum fitting on the intake manifold by the rear, I hooked this up to another vacuum fitting at the back of the carb, then hooked it up to the Air-guard By-pass vacuum, then I hooked it up to the 3rd port on the TCS. And of course the distributor advance is hooked up to the 2nd port on the TCS. Is this right?[Back to Top]

He used to be a motor head in the 60's when Donoho raced for AMC. They would cast special cylinder heads & manifolds (but used the "factory" part No's to cheat the rules) for the race cars. Any of the parts the race team didn't like, this guy would carry home to put on his Classic.

Date: Fri, 23 May 1997 23:10:10 -0400 (EDT) From: Chrisharon-at-aol.com Subject: Oily air filters I fixed (?) mine by taking the hose that runs from the fill/vent cap to the air cleaner, and replacing it with a couple feet of hose (3/8" maybe?) and went from the vent/filler cap overboard down the front of the motor. Probably not the most environmentally friendly fix, but I got tired of oily air cleaners. I also put a plug on the air cleaner side, but come to think of it, I didn't have to as the fitting is on the outside, so it would have just been another place for air to get into the filter. Oh, by the way, this is am AMC V-whatever fix. Mine is a 360 but it should work for any of the V-8's. Does anybody know what the OLD AMC V-8 engines are that have a valley pan like the Chrysler products??? And as I recall, it's rear distributor...[Back to Top]
