Sorry for what may be a silly question, but was this same transfer case previously bolted up to your transmission, and now will not reinstall, or is one or the other of the "halves" different or new, trans or transfer case?

Asking because if you've changed from an automatic to a manual transmission, the TC only uses (5) studs on the T4/T5, and all (6) studs on the automatic.

If the above doesn't apply, and the output/input splines really are aligned, there should be no reason for the TC to not seat correctly, unless there's some other physical/mechanical impedance.  Just thinking out loud -- is the trans supported with a floorjack, like maybe sitting higher than it would be when supported by the crossmember?  If so, could the transfer case be hitting the underside of the floorpan and binding up?

It's not terribly easy to do if installing the transfer case by yourself, but it does help to jiggle the TC output yoke back and forth (where the rear driveshaft bolts up) WHILE trying to push the TC onto the back of the trans.  If there is misalignment with the splines, it should take just a fraction of a turn in either direction on the TC output yoke to get the correct alignment.


Hopefully this helps...

So I am trying to bolt my eagle together and while it seems as who it has splined onto the output shaft of the transmission, my transfer case won’t mate completely with the transmission and I can’t even get any of the nuts on any of the studs

Good looking Eagle. Welcome to the forum, lots of good information here to help with all those problems. Sure I still have a few of the same ones.

Welcome to the Den!  That's a nice looking Eagle you have!

We had another member from Italy several years ago, Unfortunately he had to sell his Eagle a few years ago, but the new owner had it fully restored.  Here is LaGuardia's last post, which contains a link to a dropbox file with pictures of the restoration.  Looks like it is still in Italy!

The other challenge we had was when we went to put the sock on the fuel inlet. I bought one from an AMC supplier and one from Amazon and the hole on both of the socks was bigger than that the inlet tube. I bought this fuel sending unit after I got the car so it is aftermarket. We couldn’t come up with a workable solution so we put the sending unit in with no sock. Not too worried since the tank is clean and I will continue to use a 40 micron filter before the fuel pump.

I also needed to replace the float as the older one had a crack and had some gas in it. I picked up one from OReilly’s that is made for an 80s jeep. I think the brass ones for the 60s Fords would also work.

With two people the tank went in pretty easily, took about an hour and a half. That includes time to think about the fuel filler options and what to do about the sock. Put some gas in the tank and the car started right up. The needle on the fuel gauge went up so I am ready to get this Eagle back on the road!

Thanks for reading!

My neighbor and I put the tank back in today. There were a couple challenges. The Kammback originally came with a rubber fuel filler hose, which starts with a 2” ID at the license plate inlet and tapers to a 2” OD at the tank grommet.  When I got the car, the original hose had turned into the nastiest goo I’ve ever seen.  And of course, the original style filler hose is not available. At the time I ended up going with a 2” ID hose, and a 1-5/8” ID hose slid inside. I didn’t realize it, but they were both radiator hoses but got the job done.  There is a picture of the setup below.

This time I wanted to see if I could come up with a better solution. We decided to go with a tapered fuel filler hose 2” ID on one end and 1-1/2” ID on the other. The small end was a bit too small for the grommet on the tank, so we put that end inside a 2”OD piece of exhaust pipe, which fit perfectly into the tank grommet. I found the hose on eBay, the exhaust pipe at Advanced Auto.

Here are the links for the hose and the exhaust pipe
