Did I pay a fair price for this cj5?

    I think you did great! I haven't seen one of those bug shields in years. The top mount electric wipers are neat.

    Would you happen to know the parts number for a set of spark plug wires for my 225 v6 that NAPA could use? All the wire sets they have showed me for this engine have the same length wires and mine are different lengths. I used the number on the distributor to get the correct points, condenser and distributor cap, but Iam having trouble with the wires. Thanks

    JMO, I always buy the "universal" sets and cut them to length. That way you can make each wire just the right length...

    Actually that's not entirely true. The wires on my Jeep now weren't universal, but I removed the terminals and cut them to length.

    Looks good to me! As one of the previous posters said, Napa and O'Reilly's too are a good source for a lot of parts. My '63 had similar ills, but I had to replace shoes and wheel cylinders as well as the master cylinder. Get the Jeep CJ Rebuilder's Manual '46-'71. I think i got it for about $15 on Amazon and a field service manual. Mine's running pretty decent now and almost ready for the state safety inspection. I just need to get the turn signals and horn working. I'm pretty much a novice at working on it, but it's been pretty easy and rewarding. This forum has been a big help too. Enjoy!! -tp
