not sure if anybody is still reading this but i like to keep records :P
found a big hole in my dist. coil cover which let water in while i was driving in the rain and fried the coil. found out that i have an HEI dist. from a SBC so i ordered a 67 vette coil and cap for it, already put the coil in and it fired right up, still waiting on the cap.
also ordered a new ignition lock/cylinder because mine is worn out and it can be started without the key in it.
somebody on a CJ only forum mailed me a license plate bracket so now i don't have to have the plate duct taped to the rear window ;D
going to have the carb rebuilt and then just going to drive it and replace/upgrade things as $$ comes in. waiting on my buddy to get his hoist installed at his shop so i can do my axle swap, HD steering upgrade, and 1" body mount lift.

If you still have the Carter carb from the factory look at upgrading to a MC2100. Much better carb and doesn't mind steep hills and extreme angles when offroading.

since it's just the iron duke engine i didn't really plan on messing with it. i really want to drop a amc 360 in it since it's a direct bolt in. but depending upon how much somebody wants to rebuild this one i may do just that. thanks for the advice roger

just a reminder the offer still stands
i build cool stuff
yes it is a mile high but that will change(but it would be awesome in the early 90's when mile high lifts were cool so i guess i got a vintage cool going on)
and my cj is cooler than yours

the coil and cap cover fit on the dist. so i'm not asking questions anymore. and the dist cap has 8 points but only 4 of them have the metal attachments yet again, i'm not asking questions anymore :o it runs and drives now, mostly off of PFM so i'm not touching it ;D waiting on my buddy to get a hoist installed at his shop so i can swap out my axles, replace the body mounts, shocks, and steering.
