We found this jewel in lower old Quebec. The kids liked it for sure.

Hey all - how do you feel about hammer damage to your harmonic balancers? I just pulled this off of my Jeep and, not knowing a TON about Harmonic Balancers, wanted to get your opinions on whether I should swap in a new one instead of risk reusing this one. Also, have you ever seen them with...

Hey guys, so I am rebuilding my heads and when I was putting one of them back together I was testing whether the valves were closing completely where I put the spark plugs in the head for the test. As I was eyeballing the valve fit I realized my spark plug electrodes were wwwaaaaayyyyyy up...

Hey guys, I think I have blown out my oil pressure switch that came with my Speedhut gauges. In my efforts to find a replacement I had to turn to the Internet as neither O'Reillys and Advanced Auto were able to figure out where this thing came from. But, here is what I believe the actual...

Has anyone had experience with the need to run a coolant bypass on SBC swaps when using Vortec heads? Vortec heads have coolant passages both front and rear where as Gen 1 SBC's have only a front passage in many of the intake manifolds, even ones for Vortec heads. Due to this, I am reading a...

Hey guys, It has been a while since my last post but a lot has been going on. Besides the family growing and kids getting older and more active, my Jeep project has also continued on. Two years ago(?!?!?) when I came up to the Sand Blast event, a few of you pointed out that my ride was smoking...

I wanted to provide what I found through trial and error when replacing my pinion seal and the yoke. I had replaced the rear AMC 20 last year with a used wide-track, just before heading up to the Silverlakes meet up. You might remember that I had asked if I could get away with having one of...

Hey guys, anyone have a good source for AX15 Transmissions? My TH350 has begun eating it's clutches and I would like to convert back to a manual. Usually the AX15 is about $1700 new (Novak / Advanced Adapters) but so far everyone I have called has no idea where the transmissions are or when...

Hey guys, I had a great time at Silver Lakes and the highlight was meeting you all. I got back home, unloaded and slept and then got back in the drivers seat. I was on my way to auto-body class one evening and my driveshaft hit the pavement. One of the strap bolts that holds it to the Dana...

Hey guys, I was going to put in the Wolf Eng. lower steering shaft bearing in today, along with a new Borgeson steering shaft and low and behold o_O my steering column has an extra sleeve inside between the outer sleeve and the steering shaft. Anyone ever seen one of these that has a sleeve in...

Hey guys, just an interesting item for you. I have a Chevy 383 with a mild cam and heads and have been running a Holley 750 4160 duel feed. I have been smelling gas since I installed the carb after the reman'ed Quadrajet I had been running bit the dust (butterfly rod had hollowed out the base...

Hey Guys, I am posting to provide some info that might help others with SSBC brake conversions on an AMC 20 axle. As you may or may not be aware, SSBC went bankrupt and has now come back. I bought my CJ-8 from the original owner who did a TON of work to it some 20 years ago or more. One of...

Hey guys, before I pull my axle apart, can you all tell me if, using Mosier axle shafts and tapered bearings, will the drum brake backing plate slip over the bearings? I'm trying to get my Jeep to the Sand Blast event but SSBC no longer makes / supplies the parts for my disk brake setup and the...

Hey guys, another question - When you put your axles back together are you putting the dust shield back on or leaving them off? I have three axles, all of them had one-piece shafts installed, and none of them have the dust shields any longer. I kind of am leaning toward ordering a pair, but...

Hey guys, question for you - I am about to pull the axle shafts out of the housing so I can put the mounting plate on for the disk brakes, as I am converting from drum to disks. When I remove the bearing so I can remove the backing / mounting plate - I have the following questions: (Assuming...

Hey guys, I am swapping my narrow axles for wide and have my old axle out. My old axle has an SSBC disk break setup that I wasn't going to use again, but while taking the axle out I realized why the parking brake isn't working so have changed my mind. So, taking the brackets off of my old axle...

Hey guys, as I am swapping axles, I thought...maybe a YJ spring conversion? And then I had questions that maybe you can gut check me with. As this is my first Jeep to mess with other than keep running, I don't have the experience of constant swapping or really anything to compare with...

New Guy to Axles Alert!!!! I've never taken a set apart before and I'm not having very good feelings about these parts. Hey guys, I bought a set of wide track axles a few years ago and finally dug in as I am prepping to regear them. But, upon taking the front axle apart I'm a bit worried...

Hey guys, I was just goofing around the net and looking to see if anyone has done a Jeep CJ electric conversion. I found these guys and have requested additional information since their site, while pretty, is pretty spare on details. https://erevon.com/electric-ev-conversion-kit-for-jeep-cj/...
