    Brake pedal won't get hard.

    Two Scramblers. both have new vacuum assist master cylinders and new lines and new wheel cylinders. My friend brought his bleeder machine over and put fluid in and blead both Jeeps. One has a stiff pedal and works fine. The other the pedal goes to the floor. No leaks. Would this be a bad master...

    Rollover valve and LCV replacement

    A couple places on Ebay sell a check valve with a T at the bottom to replace both valves on our Jeeps. I have a DeLoren check valve that I could use if I T the two vent lines into it. Is this a good idea or should I get the replacement valve with the T? Anyone have any experience with this?

    Oil Pressure sending unit location

    My 304s had the unit near the oil filter I think. The unit I have is like on the 6 cyl engines, a big can. It doesn't look like it will fit on the 304. Is there another spot on the engine that it will fit? Or can I turn that brass square fitting a certain direction and get it to fit. Or is there...

    Building a Scrambler from left overs

    I recently traded for a left over tub and frame (thank you Oregonscrambler). l Started patching the tub and the bad areas in the frame. I painted the frame, one side at a time, in the garage while the weather was cold. Just finished up getting the AMC 20 back together with new bearings and seals...

    Ignition stuck

    I have an 83 GM column. It's been sitting for over 2 years and the lock cylinder has corroded (I expect) and the key won't turn anymore. I've been spraying WD40 in it but it still is stuck. Anyone have any tips other than pulling the wheel and getting down to the lock cylinder and replacing it?

    Anyone know of a Jeep Swap Meet in Oregon?

    I went to the Portland International Raceway Swap Meet on Friday. Jeep parts were few and far between. Anyone know of any Jeep groups that put on a swap meet in Oregon? I went to one many years ago about two hours south of here but don't remember who put it on.

    Won't move.

    My Scrambler with I6 and T5 gets moved 3 times a year when I move it out of the garage and have a truck back in with a ton of pellets for my shop pellet stove. Today I moved it out, and when I went to put it away, it wouldn't move. Checked the transfer case and it shifted fine. I can put it in...

    Under dash wire ID help

    Got this '82 wire harness from Ebay. God shape but I could use some help identifying some wires. First picture shows two dark orange wires and a black one. The dark orange one with the end should go to the cigar lighter. The other two could be the radio but I thought the radio was wired direct...

    Fuel fill hose and vent line.

    My Scrambler has the 15 gal steel tank centered in the frame. I was trying to find 1" and 3/4" fuel fill hose from a roll to connect to the filler. I'm not finding those sizes. Does anybody know of a source? If not, looks like I'll be buying the short bent ones made for the 15 gal tank and...

    From left to right, one, two, three, four. One is plugged off on two of my CJs. Two goes to the roll-over valve. Three to vacuum at the carb. And four to some vacuum switch near the carb. Where is one supposed to go? And four goes in as far as the raised ring and stops. Is there something...

    Master Cylinder & Booster for CJ

    A few years ago I bought a used TJ booster & MC thinking I would use it on a CJ. I made an adapter bracket that would put it in the right position to fit the CJ pedal. This all looked very nice until I put it on the car. I can see that the booster will interfere with the hood. I see on ebay lots...

    Bumper end caps fit what?

    I've made end caps that fit our Scrambler bumpers. Now I'm going to make end caps to fit the J-10 or Honcho trucks for 1977 to 1979. I'm haven't had any of the Jeep trucks so I'm asking for a little clarification of which ones had which bumpers and end caps. I thought the 1980 Honcho hand...

    Supercharge your Jeep?

    Magnum Powers makes a kit for 96 to 2006 Jeeps for about 5K. I think BigWalton has tested this for JPFreek. The foundry that cast the end caps for us also makes the castings for the superchargers. Yesterday I asked who he was making the supercharger castings for and it's Magnum Powers in...

    Help identifying steering wheel colors available

    The slotted 3-spoke steering wheel showed up on CJs about 1981 or 82 through 86. Does any of you know what colors of leather were used to cover these wheels? Other than being used on CJs, were they used on J10s, Eagles, Wagoneers or any other AMC vehicles that you know of? Here's a picture of...

    I have 84 and 85 ACME catalogs which show the hardtops they had available. Here are the pages with the info on them. So many times people ask for identification of a Scrambler Hardtop and maybe this will help. If someone else has a catalog showing Classic or Grisly or any other brand hardtop...

    Strange dash radio opening!

    A dash trivia question. This dash came with a recent purchase. I haven't seen an opening as narrow as this before. The dash has the original dark blue paint on the back and under the light blue on the front and has obviously not been cut. The dash has only one speaker grill so that makes it...
