Make sure the pump gear cavity is filled with oil or vaseline. They don't self-prime. If the gears are dry, they will never suck oil from the pan. I've used a mid plate on my last 3 builds. I...

If the oil level is about normal you could just have some condensation in the crankcase. It's actually pretty common in vehicles that are stored for long periods, especially if it wasn't allowed to...

$1500 for a rebuildable 401 is about the going rate right now. I wish I would have picked up a lot more 15 years ago when they were plentiful and I could get them for $75 from a couple of local...

Welcome to the site. I had a 77 CJ7 that I built for rock crawling. I'll try to answer your questions based on my experiences.
1. rear end - As long as you stay with 33" or smaller tires, the 2...
Maybe MC can chime in here. He's in the Minneapolis area. PM jeepsr4ever here on the board.

Any leaks? The gears should stay filled with oil. If no leaks, try a different brand filter. I prefer Wix or NAPA gold. Please tell me you’re not using a Fram.

The 69 TSM says the gears should extend .0025-.0065 past the pump body. Given a .007" thick gasket, that would put end clearance from .0045-.0005". I think the end clearance is more critical than...
I had a 77 CJ7 that was a factory 304/3 speed. I mud bogged in northern Illinois for years, running a highly built 304. When I moved to Colorado, I swapped in a pretty stock 360 (stock compression,...
It's as easy as you say as long as the later 360 is factory stock. The TH400 was last used in 1979, so find a 1979 or older flywheel for a TH400/360. The TH400 flywheel has 3 large cutouts, the TF...
Glad you found it. I couldn't see if the PS pulley is factory AMC. There are 2 flavors of PS pulleys and pumps, 74 and older has a keyed shaft and pulley and has a nut on the shaft, 75-up is just...
It could be that the PS pump bracket or even the body of the pump has been tweaked from over tightening the belt. I'd try installing a new pump and/or bracket to see if it fixes the problem. The...
Nice. :headbang:

I know MC had the prints. I don't know if they were PDFs or anything like that. You might send a PM to jeepsr4ever here on the forum.

I don't think the high mount alternator bracket is compatible with A/C. If it's the one I'm thinking of, the U shaped bracket goes on the 2 front manifold bolts behind where the A/C compressor is. ...
I made one out of an old points distributor. Remove the distributor drive gear and slide out the shaft, cut the aluminum housing just above where the hold-down sits. Cut the shaft just below the...
