Mid-Illini Jeepers

Got the rebuilt motor in dad's 7 fired up tonight. It even carries oil pressure. now we just have to time it and tune the carb and it is ready.

Why are they always out of stock of the part I need to finish something? Why also does it take 3 weeks to find out that they are out of the part? The part in question is a dana 44 lockright. Richmond gear who now produces them is out of stock and does not plan on making any until the week after next...

I am going to use the dual master cylinder set up from Wilwood. It is a manual system that used one pedal to push 2 master cylinders. there is a balance bar in the pedal assembly to regulate how much pressure to the front and how much to the rear.

duty cycle has to do with a relative percent of time that something can operate at max capacity. An air compressor that can run at max for 12 minutes and requires a 4 min down time would have 75% duty cycle. The reason to run an air tank would be to limit or eliminate the down time. The 12 volt comp...

That would require a body and a master cyclinder. Oh and a few feet of brake line.

I got the rear disks put on the rear of the 6 last weekend, just have one question. How do I bleed them? Air rises, but the bleeders are on the bottom. Oops, the axle goes under the springs not on top of it.

You already have that shop truck. The travelall. Ha Ha.
