    knock sound

    Pull the valve cover and make sure all the lifter rods are attached and straight. Also that the rockers are tight.

    Replace Mopar MPFI with Carb

    I didn't know you could even adjust the timing at all on a mopar mpi kit. I just always set it at zero and thought the computer did the rest. I never had any pinging so maybe I never needed to adjust .

    knock sound

    A rod knock is usually unmistakable. It's not a tap. It sounds like a hammer hitting metal. If it's a rod knock it will need completely rebuilt. You can replace just the bearing but it will come back soon just like it did to you. A rod knock will be present at all engine rpm. It will be...

    New distributor installed. Now I have an issue....

    The reason it was doing that is you had a bit too much timing in it. It likely would have pinged on the road too.

    Advice on Potential Scrambler Purchase

    I feel like the first one is over priced a little. A similar scrambler sold on ebay a few weeks back for 11,600. The body was similar maybe not quite as good but the interior was better. Hard to tell much on the second one from the pics. Would want to see pics before paint.

    Lawdy it's hot, damn hot.

    Go to vintage air. It's all similar to the factory setup. Works good if you have a top.

    Looking for direction for my build - losing focus and motivation . . .

    Why not get a Rock Hard bolt in rear cage and be done with it? I would play statistic and look and see what is most probable. Most likely it's being rear ended or front end collision. A high speed roll over there is little you are going to do to a scrambler to save your life. In 1992 or 93...

    Selecting a Carburetor

    I agree with the Howell kit. The best carb is a Motorcraft 2100 or 2150. There is a seller on ebay that sells the carb and kit to put it on your CJ. He is the one that has a billet aluminum adaptor custom made for the CJ intake and Motor craft. Still not near as nice as a FI kit but best...

    Is this a potential MAJOR FAIL with PO installed spacers??

    There are some engineering rules for amount of engagement. I learned them and school but can't remember. It wouldn't take long to punch those studs out and put new ones in. Also locktite is recommended on those wheel adaptors.

    summer project #2

    Yes wagoneer. Yj spring in the front are wider and 1in longer. It only requires a few mods to do is the ride and flex is better.

    summer project #2

    This will open a huge can of worms. First of all your front axle will be much wider than the rear. Second you will have to address steering, third longer brake lines, custom shock mounts, new drive shafts, 6 lug front axle so different wheels. This is just off the top of my head. You...

    Skyjacker Softride opinions?

    I have the skyjacker 2.5 on my scrambler. Rides really soft. Maybe too soft. The front has sagged with no winch on the front and 200 miles.

    mopar mpi

    I will go take a look in the barn. I have a mopar intake and a factory one on the shelf. I really don't think there is any difference. The biggest problem I see is if they quite making all the parts. You really need the crank sensor relocation kit. Also the reworked harness is so much...
