That would be great if there could be more regular gatherings of the FSJ
crowd.

I'm thinking of a suspension lift next.  I'd like to talk to some of the
folks who have done this and to view some other rigs for ideas.

Subject: RE: fsj: 401 flywheel wanted

A: Just a little nit here: The 401 didn't come out till late '70 and the last
one was in '78 FSJs. None to be had in AMC cars after '74 AFAIK. There were 2
401 cranks. '70/'71 was made for the Borg Warner automatic (which self
destructed when someone hammered the go pedal too much) and '72 up have the
crank sleeve installed for the TH400 in trucks, because it was bored out to
fit 727 torque converter noses ion AMC cars. The bolt pattern is slightly
different, as is the balance between early and late cranks.

Subject: RE: fsj: 401 flywheel wanted

Scott,
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you on this. I have been up and down
the coast of Texas for the last 3 weeks or so.
I called my friend here and he doesn't have the manual tranny flywheel for a
401. His originally had the TH400 behind it. He also said that there were
scarcely any Jeeps with a 401 and manual tranny BUT that there WERE manual
trannies behind 401 mills in the AMC muscle cars of the 60's and 70's. Try
looking there if you haven't already found what you need.
I am about to do yet ANOTHER engine upgrade in my 1980 CJ7. I have in my
possession a TBI equipped GM 454 and the original TH400 tranny. When I can
cough up the $$ for an Atlas t-case, that combo...along with the Ford front
and
rear axles...is going ion my CJ7. WOOHOO!!!
Good luck with the swap...

A: Vince, do yourself a favor and walk into your nearest parts store and get a
'68 Dodge pickup (318 if they ask, but it doesn't matter) ignition resistor
(sometimes called a ballast resistor) and you'll be good to go. (buy 2 in case
you get a short!)

Bruce:
Tell me about the resistor.  Was it exactly 1.35 ohm or did you do something
special?  I found that Radioshack sells a 1.0 ohm resistor.  You mentioned
you mounted the resistor on the firewall.....how did you do that exactly?

Subject: fsj: Re: today in and around Ouray

A: We saw a lot of deer (including a couple herds and some large bucks) but
the most amusing one was the doe that was looking me in the face when I woke
up saturday AM! Unfortunately, we also saw a lot of road kills on the way. On
the way up I saw a bear (and what was left of the car that hit it) on the
Snoqualmie pass, then a cougar on the side of the road in my lane. Various
small animals that were hard to tell what they were (except the skunks) but
the worst was the amount of deer that were hit. We saw a doe on the pass, then
when we were coming back from the FSJ picnic, we saw another get hit across
our lane into the ditch from someone coming up the hill too fast near the
peak. On the way home, a car screamed past us the opposite way in the dark
(near the Wyoming border) with only 1 headlight. After it passed, we rounded a
corner and saw a HUGE buck on the road. Too big for the 3 of us to move past
the shoulder, but I made sure it was dead and not suffering (same with the
others) We flashed lights at the oncoming traffic to alert them after we drove
through a herd along the highway a little further (they weren't scared of us,
but did move to the shoulder as we came through)
   Bottom line: Be careful out there! If you tend to drive fast at night, put
those cheapo $5 deer whistles on your rig. No-one that I know of has been hit
or hit one so far.

I think the max towing of a GW is 7,500 lbs  depending
on the hitch, you will lose power with propane.

Not sure about MSD ignition.  Jacobs wires are great,
but not their ignition modules.

Avoid the K&N filters, they're over priced, a pain
to clean, expensive, and don't filter well.  The
Amsoil filters are a much better.
See my sig file for info. :)


I'll look into the trailer ratings
 if you remind me around Saturday... :)

trans cooler etc.  The engine is a 360 but I have absolutely no history on the vehicle so I have no idea what was done to it.  The cat and pollution gear looks like it is removed, as is the gas tank and spare tire (propane tanks sit here now).  I am in th

I am planning on new free-flow exhaust system (Magnaflow), K&N filter, possibly new MSD ignition system.

Actually found the resistor at Napa - exactly 1.35 ohm.  Turns out it wasn't
my problem after all.  But if anyone needs one of these, I have two.  They
are about $6 apiece and are ceramic housed with a screw to mount them
whereever you want.
