thanks for the tips. as for the hood scoop i actually like it haha so its staying. i know its the same motor as the jeeps but i would like an upgrade eventually to a efi set up and lift it for light off roading. ill be going to back school in a couple of years and this will be my project. yes i am in the general area of colorado im actually located in cheyenne wyoming. i got the luck of being stationed here ha. i gave the steering wheel cover and that ugly zebra print windshield cover to the previous owner. as for the valve cover i already saw first hand the ungodly leakage. i have the fortunate luck to have a junkyard with 4 of these beautiful cars put to rest and are just sitting there begging to be pilaged. as for the tach sadly it doesnt work
going to work up the motivation to take apart the dash to figure out why its not.
things i worked on this week.
-fixed the old cracked valve cover with one taken out of the junk yard in great condition just had to clean all the crap off. so much built up grim on it.
-replaced to exhaust and intake manifold gaskets to start it up to only find out that my problem lies with in the manifold itself (a crack)
waste of four hours replacing gaskets and cleaning intake and exhaust manifolds.
-changed oil and oil filter. (stupid sales associate sold me an oil filter to the four cylinder model)
Left to do next week
-pilage a used exhaust manifold and a new driver side arm rest from junkyard (the one in it now is purple... doesnt match ha)
-figure out tach issue
-do a transmission filter and fluid change
-replace two light bulbs on roof lighting so it will be even brighter
-clean up engine and get all the grim build up off of the front undercarage.
so far im happy besides the occasional problem of car wont go into 2wd and i have to guzzle gas in 4wd. i keep having to go under the car and manually switch it back with a wrench anyone know if i replace the vacuum on the transfer case will this fix that problem?
