I might be the receipient of a gift from my father in law. It is a 1981 CJ8 scrambler 4 cyl, straight shift that runs OK and has new paint.
My question is. Where can I find information related to what the jeep came equipped with when new. What is the original specs etc.
He has had it painted and runs pretty good, although the carbuerator needs work. Shifts oK, but needs tires. Drives loose, which may be because of the tires or worn out steering box.
Was power steering an option? Could it be installed?
If I get this vehicle, I want to be able to take it on a camping trip without ending up stranded. Will require some work, but not sure on the costs. Would like to restore to original specs, but won't have the money to do that right now.
Any help on how to get started and where to find info would be much appreciated.
