Thanks to all for the suggestions. I will look for the stone filter and see if I can clean that. Also will add some gas dry. A couple easy...
It has a CRT Performance HEI distributor. I have never really messed with it at all since we've had the Jeep. Spark plugs are still in from when...
Decided to drive the 1971 CJ5 10 miles to the nearest small town to run errands. Jeep fired right up, ran good to the gas station. Filled up...
Resurrecting this thread as I am hoping to get this resolved this summer. I have all of the gauges working now, except that the temperature gauge...
I bought this from Amazon 3 years ago and it is still in pretty good shape....
Figured the tank was probably low enough to drop it over the long weekend and continue the struggle to get the gas gauge working. I had purchased...
I wondered if that could be it, but it seems odd that there is no other sign of any radio or speakers ever being installed on this Jeep.

So after getting everything put back together I took it on a test run to the nearest town for about a 30 mile round trip. It ran great and all of...
Thanks for the feedback on the return fuel line. I will move the speedometer question to a new post.
After installing an internally regulated alternator (Powermaster 100/70 - works great) I took it for a test drive to make sure everything was back...

It has 5 holes, also unevenly spaced, but it is possible to turn the float to different directions. The replacement float I purchased does not...
That is what I am thinking. Guess I will drive it for a while to run down the gas level, then pull the tank and see if rotating the float will help.
The sending unit I purchased was a 10-70 ohms as per the original. The sender is grounded via a ground terminal on the sender. I ran a wire from...
Trying to get the last non-functioning gauge working again. 71 CJ5 w/Dauntless V6. When I got it the PO had replaced the original rear fuel tank...
I put the Omix HD shackles on my 71 CJ5 with stock springs and bushings. The new ones went in easier than the old ones came out. The only issue...
Thanks to all for the input. Since I already have the sensor the bushing seems like the best approach. I will stop at the hardware store on the...
Currently working on fixing problems on my 1971 CJ5 with the Dauntless V6. The temperature gauge was not working, so I ordered a new temperature...
