put some miles on her this week... running very well and actaully being able to keep up on the road with 60hp, 3 speed and 5.38 gears. The engine is surprisingly strong. Tonight I drove from Killingworth, up through Durham and Middletown, into Portland and finally to glastonbury to visit my girlfriend, and then back home again. The ride home was a little chilly, but always a good time

nice man. are you using a lead additive for the fuel? those carbs are easy to rebuild i just did one a few months ago for my cj5. great looking jeep man. i havent used a lead additive yet but i have been thinking about it, i definately need to research it a little, id hate to hurt that engine. yes the carbs are very simple, when i first got the jeep i had it apart like 4 times because of all the rust in the stock tank |

left me stranded driving home from work yesterday. charging system quit and i cant seem to justify putting any money into something that old (12v generator and 3 wire regulator). Picked up a Delco Si10 63amp alternator today, so ill be putting it on over the weekend and maybe my winch as well
