Title: New member from LA!
Post by: Quinton on July 24, 2015, 09:16:54 PM: I live in Los Angeles, California.ï¿½ I work for a large appliance manufacturer performing in home appliance service. I just acquired a 1963 Jeep Dispatcher (to be verified via a forum post) in need of some TLC. Can't wait to share my restoration project with everyone!

Thank you all for your expertise in advance!!

I cleaned the carb and installed new points, condenser, coil, resistor, plugs, derusted the starter, cleaned the oil pan and replaced the gasket, replaced the toilet paper filter with a cartridge filter, did some temp wiring for the battery and new key start. Currently I dropped the tranny yesterday and cleaned the sludge and gears... cleaned off the surface rust. It's only been 2 weeks lol and I feel I made some serious progress!! The engine fires up!

It's missing a bunch of stuff! I wanted to join here and show the progress and I'm going to need some help figuring out what's missing and where certain hoses go...

:D

They have a DJ specific section.
They might be able to give you some good serial number info.
