Ignition problem, no spark to the distributor cap?

I HATE WEARING THEM RUBBER GLOVES TOO! I HATE MY HANDS TO GET SWEATY INSIDE OF THEM.

SOON I WILL HAVE THE NEED TO WEAR THEM WHEN I FIBERGLASS THE BACK SIDES OF WHERE THE RUST EAT (ATE) OUT UNDER MY DRIVER'S DOOR. IN MY PIC (FURTHER BACK), I JUST HAD GROUND IT OUT, IT DID NOT APPEAR AS BAD AS IT REALLY WAS, THE RUST AND PAINT SORTA HID THE ACTUAL EXTENT OF THE RUST DAMAGE. AFTER I GOT IT TO "BARE METAL" I SPRAYED IT WELL WITH "RUST TRANSFORMER" TO HOPEFULLY KILL THE RUST ACTION TILL I CAN GET IT GLASSED AND BONDO-ED. MAYBE MY NEXT DAY OFF.

IT IS LOOKIN' REALLY NICE!

SO. THE WRANGLER IS NOT STARVING FOR FUEL NOW? THE REGULATOR NUMBERS DON'T NECESSARILY "JIVE" WITH THE ACTUAL PRESSURE THAT MAKES IT THRU THEM (HENCE THE LITTLE FUEL GAUGE I INSTALLED BETWEEN IT AND MY CARB, I TRUST THE GAUGE MORE THAN THE REG SETTINGS)

JUST SOME INFO THAT MIGHT BE GOOD TO KNOW----IMMA A PLUMBER (SERVICE IS MY THING, STARTED IN 1989) I CANNOT FIND A LOCAL PLUMBER TO HIRE ME, IN THE 'BAMA ECONOMIC SYSTEM WE HAVE NOW.I WAS OUT WITH A BROKEN FOOT (DONE AT WORK) WITH COMPLICATIONS, MY EMPLOYER LAID ME OFF, SOON AS I GOT OFF OF THE 1.5 YEARS OF WORKERS COMP (RELEASED BY DOC) I WENT ON UNEMPLOYMENT TILL IT WAS ALMOST EXHAUSTED. I HAVE SINCE GOTTEN A PART-TIME JOB WITH "ADVANCE AUTO", EVEN THOUGH PAY IS ABOUT 1/3 WHAT I GOT PLUMBING, IT IS A "CLEAN, SORTA EZ JOB", I LIKE DEALING WITH PEOPLE, THE CASH REGISTER IS A TRIP TO ATTEMPT TO LEARN ALL THE PROCEDURES.

THE "UPS" OF THIS IS I CAN LEARN SOME STUFF ABOUT NEWER VEHICLES, I GET A 20% DISCOUNT---FOUND OUT A FEW THINGS THAT WILL HELP ANYONE. THEY WILL TAKE IN "USED MOTOR OIL" (SAVES TIME DUMPING IT AT THE LANDFILL COLLECTION POINT) AND FOR US "CHEAPSKATES" THEY SELL "GOOD" USED BATTERIES FOR ABOUT $34 (COUPLED WITH MY 20%, IT WILL HELP WHEN IN A BIND) THEY ALSO SELL "OLD-NEW BATTERIES" (ON SHELF OVER A YEAR) AT DISCOUNT PRICES (WARRANTY UNKNOWN AT THIS POINT). INFO THAT IS NOT REALLY ADVERTISED, THOUGHT IT MIGHT HELP

THE MEDIC

BEEN LOOKIN' TO SEE IF EVERYTHING'S GOOD TO GO

YOU GOT IT GOING SO WELL, I SORTA FEEL LEFT OUT, I DIDN'T EVEN GET A CHANCE TO ANSWER ABOUT THE BRAKE DRUM!

KEEP IT GOING, I'M SORTA IMPRESSED BY YOUR FORTITUDE

ARE YOU IMPRESSED WITH THE O2 SENSOR JETTING/ TUNING METHOD?

THE PICS ARE MY M-416 AND MY GRANDSON, ALTHOUGH IT IS NEWER THAN THE WW II BANTAM TRAILER (ROUND FENDERS), THE "HALF HEXAGON" M-416 FENDERS SORTA GO ALONG WITH "WILLY'S" FRONT FENDERS.I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS TO BE PLEASED ANYWAY!

THE MEDIC

YES--I HAVE DONE THIS MANY TIMES---IT WOULD BE BEST IF I DID SOME PHONE COMMO TO EXPLAIN. STILL GOT MY NUMBER? OR WANT ME TO EMAIL IT AGAIN.I DO NOT HAVE TO WORK TOMORROW

THE MEDIC

THAT SURE DOES LOOK A LOT EZer THAN THE WAY I HAVE BEEN DOING IT!

KEEP THE UPDATES COMING---I KNOW I WAS PROBABLY BORING ON THE PHONE, BUT I DO ENJOY TALKING TO SOMEONE WHO IS NOT "JEEP IGNORANT"

I'LL BE HAPPY TO SEE IT WHEN IT'S ROAD TRIP READY!

THE MEDIC

IF I REMEMBER WELL ENOUGH--THIS ARE PICS OF THE CONSOLE (20MM AMMO CAN W/ LOCK AND CUSHION) MY CONVEX MIRROR (AFTERMARKET STAINLESS) REMOVABLE CANOE/ LUMBER/ PIPE RACK/ STEERING GEAR BRACE (MODIFIED ANGLE IRON) THIS REMOVES PLAY FROM THE FRAME TWISTING---STORAGE BOX MY REAR SEAT SITS ON TOP OF (ABOUT A 4" SEAT LIFT)

THEY ALL WOULDN'T FIT THE 1ST TIME

THE MEDIC

SORTA LOOKS LIKE THE CLIP IS MISSING----WILL IT PULL APART?

MINE ARE SORTA FOLDED OVER SPRING STEEL---YOU PULL IT OPEN LIKE A TACO--THEN SLIDE IT OFF

IT'S 22:30 HERE--I'VE BEEN REALLY BUSY TODAY--CHORES/ WORK/ REPLACE VALVE STEM ON MR. JEEP (HAD FLAT BEFORE I GOT IN HIM TO GO TO WORK, VALVE STEM SORTA BROKE IN HALF)

I'D ALMOST BET YOU JUST "WENT FOR IT" AND THE WIPER TASK IS DONE!

THE BEST ADVICE I CAN GIVE YOU ON INSTALLATION IS---MAKE SURE NOTHING IS BENT (EVEN SLIGHTLY) WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS WHERE THE "PIVOT SHAFT" GOES THRU THE SHEET METAL FRAME. THE PIVOT SHAFT ASSEMBLY WILL SORTA "TWIST OR ROCK" IN THE THIN METAL OF THE WINDSHIELD FRAME----THE METAL WILL FATIGUE---IT WILL EVENTUALLY "TEAR" AROUND THE PIVOT----OR THE LINKAGES WILL SUDDENLY BEND OR CRIMP OVER, WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE PIVOTS WILL BIND THEN BEND FRAME AROUND IT. THIS WILL KINDA MAKE THE FRAME LOOK LIKE A CHAMELEON EYE BALL----THE METAL WILL BE SO FATIGUED, TAPPING IT BACK IN PLACE WILL ONLY RESULT IN A FEW MINUTES OF OPERATION---THEN ANOTHER CHAMELEON EYE BALL!

YES YOU WILL BE WAY OFF---AND IT WILL POUR RAIN 24 HOURS STRAIGHT

I ALWAYS USE "RAIN-X"---KEEP THE WIPING TO A MINIMUM

I SORTA KNOW THIS 1ST HAND, AND FROM OTHER PEOPLES JEEPS

WHEN I DEVELOPED THE LIZARD EYE BALLS AND TEARS---I LOCATED ANOTHER RUSTY WORTHLESS FRAME. RUSTED TERRIBLY AROUND THE HINGES

USING THE DONOR FRAME, I CUT OUT THE PIVOT HOLES IN A "DECORATIVE FASHION", THEN ENLARGED MY OLD HOLES, AND I RIVETED THEM OVER THE SCREWED UP HOLES (YOU MIGHT WANNA SAVE YOUR OLD ONES, FOR FUTURE USE. IF NEED BE!

LOOK AT HOW I DID MINE IN ORDER TO NOT BUY THE WHOLE WINDSHIELD FRAME! MAY BE HARD TO SEE, I PAINTED THEM THE SAME COLOR, I INSTALLED BOTH TO KEEP IT SYMMETRICAL. THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS MY PROBLEM CHILD

ONE LAST BIT OF ADVICE. NEVER STICK YOUR FINGERS IN THE OVAL HOLES. WHILE THE WIPERS ARE RUNNING OR MESSING UP. DON'T EVEN ASK ABOUT THE STITCHES OR HOW LONG I SCREAMED LIKE A LITTLE GIRL, BEFORE AND AFTER I GOT 'EM OUT OF THE HOLE.

THAT LINK IS ACTUALLY SCANNED COPIES OF THE AMC JEEP SERVICE MANUALS AND OTHER MANUALS TOO

I HAVE THE 1979 PAPER MANUAL--IT'S ABOUT THE SIZE OF A PHONE-BOOK, AND 2+ INCHES THICK....IT IS BY FAR THE BEST MANUAL I OWN, I WISH I HAD TAKEN CARE OF IT SINCE 1983. IT SHOWS HOW TO TEST EVERYTHING... UNFORTUNATELY THE LINK'S SCANS BLURS THE DIAGRAMS, BUT BEGGARS CAN'T BE CHOOSERS!!! IF YOU NEED SOMETHING BETTER QUALITY, IF IT'S IN MY MANUAL, I CAN MAYBE EMAIL YOU A BETTER PAGE FROM MINE

I DON'T KNOW IF I SENT THIS--TOO LAZY TO GO BACK AND LOOK--EZer TO SEND IT AGAIN...SEE OCTOBER 16TH IN THIS POST---THIS IS "POOR MAN'S IMPACT WRENCHING"...A REAL IMPACT WILL STRIP OR BREAK STUFF!!

As I remove these EVIL fasteners, I replace them with "REAL" hex headed bolts.....Even the stainless ones on my windshield hinges, etc. Before I install aftermarket stuff that comes with these pathetic fasteners, THE Torx stuff, gets thrown across the woods, real hex is installed instead!
