    I went down to the local NAPA flaps in Redmond today and the building was empty and a "for lease" sign planted outside. I went to O'Reilly's, but they didn't have a ball joint. For now, I'm just going to use the broken clip so I can make progress. When the gas pedal is pushed (this is a '68 cj5 with Dauntless), what provides the gas pedal return action to idle? Is it just the internal action of the carb or is there a helper spring? I looked in the FSM, but couldn't find a picture of the carb that showed any kind of return-to-idle spring.

    What's the small L-tab-with-small-hole on the intake, below and to the left of the throttle for?

    Mine has a spring on that tab. Focker, what is the pod on yours for?

    Throttle dashpot. Makes the throttle shut slower at the very last little bit.

    GM Saginaw manual steering gear. One of millions in existence. See the "S" cast in to the top? I expect taking those bolts out without proper preparation is a bad idea. You might want to simply replace it and turn in this one as a core, if it's frozen.

    Any '72 or later Jeep TSM covers the Saginaw steering gears. http://oljeep.com/gw/74_tsm/11-Steering.pdf Page 11-18 forward.

    What's with what looks like a tailgate hinge mounted to the grille, or is that an M38A1 thing I am not familiar with?

    It’s an early M38A1 thing. I like it!

    Its a grill hinge, used on '52 and early '53 M38A1's. The M38 had a version of this hinge arraignment too. Its a Military thing, though later '53-on used the center bolt.

    I'm at the wiring stage of my '68 CJ5 project. One of the front driving lights/turn signals has a burned out bulb. It doesn't look like bulb is removed from the back of the assembly. It appears to be sealed.

    On close examination, there's a snap ring holding the lens in place. How do you remove that ring? I've tried carefully prying it out with a pick tool, but it doesn't seem to budge. It could be rusted to the housing. I don't want to apply more pressure because the 50 year old plastic lens is brittle. Is there a simple way or a special tool used to remove that ring to get access to the bulb?
