I bought my Willys MB instead. ++ Cornel Ormsby ++ http://members.aol.com/OrigamiTB/WhRhino.htm ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 30 Apr 2000 20:56:50 -0400 From: "William C.W. Lamb" Subject: fsj: Sunday travails 90 GW Put a few more miles on the recently acquired "Black Hole" today - visited the local Sunday Sales pick-a-pull in Richmond, only one FSJ and no interesting SAABs but a veritable Mercedes treasure car. First, I ran out of gas today. Gauge doesn't work too well, stays pegged above full until it's ready to quit, then falls quickly and ran out around stated 1/2 tank. Friend came to the rescue as I was only 10 miles from home, got 4 gallons in, then another 12 at the pump. Book says I should have 20 gallon tank. - - Can I access the fuel sender from under the back seat? Haynes indicates later vehicles don't require tank removal. - - Is the sender related to the fuel pickup/feed? I.E. could my feed line be a little short? Second - nobody replied to my query about fitting an oil cooler. Who's done this? *I* think oil temp could be related to bearing starvation, and that oil does tend to get hot in the 360! Second-and-a-half - oil pressure sender or gauge would seem to bind somewhere around 35-40psi, sometimes it won't go above that unless I really punch it, then it won't drop down below that. I'm getting used to it, but has anyone else experienced this with the '86-'91 setup, and is it the sender or the gauge? Third - where is the rear wash/wipe glass-up safety switch? Wash and wipe on rear window inoperative, fuse present and good. Need/want stuff category: - - squarish rear cargo area dome light lens cover ('89-'91 only?) - - right rear door armrest, burgundy, with screws - - glovebox door latch and lock ('86-'91) - - driver door dome light switch (3 pin plug) - - burgundy cargo area cover (yeah right!) - - burgundy Jeep floor mats ("""!) - - Later style Jeep hubcap for late alloys (will trade earlier style) Well, that's all for now. ___________________________________________________ Cheers- William "Chip" Lamb West of Sweden SAAB Charles City, VA. http://www.wmsbrg.com/sweden/ ___________________________________________________ ------------------------------ End of fsj-digest V1 #832 *************************
