    Fuel tank sending unit assembly

    No good and worn out. Have to keep an eye on fuel w/ paint stick stirrer. Primitive but only run out of fuel 90% of the time.

Also looked at both of their front ends, 1, the steering knuckle comes straight out and the other it...

    Front two tires not plumb..leaning

    Thank you for the quick reply....hadn't thought about that....welding the race in. So I could leave the Pass. side axle assembly, Brake, S. knuckle, R. G. & Pinion all intact and take it to them?

    Front two tires not plumb..leaning

    Front two tires not plumb..leaning

    Today noticed, while Jeep on flat level ground, top of front driver side tire was tilted toward the pass. side tire. My wife even noticed it the other day. Jacked it up and when grabbed tires at 3 & 9 o' clock not much play. 12 to 6 o' clock, the tire immediately collapsed inward at the 6 o'...

    Auto to Manual trans.

    Good advice....I have everything ......You would need the transmission, clutch, flywheel, bell housing, throw out bearing, clutch linkage, peddle, and all that goes with it. The shift lever. ......... Would be much more problematic to swap out to the manual trans. Thank you for your reply and...

    Hood replacement

    Changed out hinge on the right side and it fixed the problem. If I ever have to do this project again, I'll remove the 3 bolts that hold the Hinge spring assembly (after propping up that side), then the 2 bolts into the hood and then attach new hinge top 2 bolts followed by the 3 that attach...

    Auto to Manual trans.

    727 has been leaking fluid and need to deal with it. I have a 4speed from an '84' Dodge pickup with the granny Low. Mine has the 318 and 203 TC. What would be involved to swap the 727 with N435 or 455 ( not sure which it is as I'm typing but it is the granny Low)?
