    Gauges stay powered when ignition in “off” position. Help!!

    I, fairly recently, installed the new Painless wiring harness into my ‘83 Scrambler. I believe I wired up everything correctly. All the gauges and lights work as they should and the jeep runs good (I also installed a Holley Sniper EFI ath the same time). The issue I have is that the gauges...

    Pinion gear swap 2.73 to 3.54

    I’m sure this is buried in a thread somewhere, but I can’t find it. I currently have Dana 30/AMC 20 stock wide track with 2.73 gear ratios. I want to swap them to 3.54. Do I have to swap the carrier to go to that ratio? Thanks in advance!

    T176/Dana 300/AMC 20/Dana 30 Fluids

    Tachometer questions??

    The tach below is what was in my 1983 Scrambler when I purchased it in 2013. It has the 258 inline 6 but from what I have read, this tach is for the V8. (With the 5000 redline). Is that correct? How differently will this tach read as compared to the correct one (higher/lower rpms)? I believe...

    Factory A/C vs. Aftermarket

    OK... What's the consensus? Install a good factory A/C unit into my CJ8 or go with an aftermarket new version? My CJ8 is fairly original looking and has the original drivetrain, 4.2, T-176, Dana 300, blah blah blah... It has never had A/C. What do you experts think? Thanks, Chip
