Thanks Tim,

The rebuild wasn't that bad, there was a lot of head scratching trying to figure out how to get the machine pressed parts separated without ruining them.

I'd do another...

This was on a jeep that was for sale....It kinda proves that a jeep will run on almost anything...

Click on it..it's a short video.....

I'm putting the various components back on the engine....



And I set the timing when installing the distributor...

I did not have the anchor for the throttle return spring, but I had the one for the emergency brake....so I copied it...i think it'll work fine...


And I straightened and welded the old spare tire carrier..



It's nearly time to put the manifolds on...hoses are in, I'll add the fuel pump next..

I searched for a color match for the oil filter housing..

somewhere i read about a Duplicolor Chrysler engine paint..

The right half is painted with the duplicolor, the left is still the original paint...pretty darn close



now that adds a little color!



The paint is Duplicolor Chrysler Hemi Orange engine paint..DE1652

The jeep came with this governor mounting bracket...I'll re-install it, just in case I find a governor one of these days...

It reads:  "Warning  Do Not engage or Disengage Governor While engine Is Running"

I've read that this refers to a Monarch governor..but a Novi would do...

I've been doing some body work in the mornings when it's still cool enough..the metal storage unit is like an oven in the afternoon...

But mostly I've been cleaning the old parts and brackets etc.

Can you see the connection for the heater hose on the water pump in the second picture? At that angle it won't work as the hose hits the oil filter bracket...the heater connection on the old pump was on the other side  near the output...

any suggestions?

My CJ-5 has a curved hose connection there and that works fine...

This was my approach to the same issue...



I think I picked it up at Lowes or Home Depot.

Thanks Tim, that looks perfect...I figured there must be something out there that would work, I have not seen another curved one as on the CJ-5...

You might be able to see it here...

Picked up the wheels, grill and tailgate from the sandblaster today...I'll try and get them primed tomorrow if it's not too hot...

Four of the wheels are riveted K-H 15 x 4.5, and the fifth is the same size and profile, though it's not marked K-H and it's not riveted...
