new jeep owner, have some questions.

You'll need to tell us your location for advice about the title. In my state (Massachusetts) all you need is a bill of sale to get a Mass title for a car that old.

The fuel pickup is in the top center of the tank, under the seat.

 

Im from decatur,Al.

 

Tim shouldnt that be pickup is in bottom center of tank?

 

Maybe it depends on the year. The under-seat tank I put in my '73 had the pickup and sending unit both go in from the top. The earlier tanks may have tapped the tank from the bottom.

 

mine came out the bottom. I would recommend installing a small magnet on the lower outside of the tank near a corner and run a inline fuel filter to help keep rust/debris out of the gas lines.

 

Google is your friend! Here's a FAQ on titles in Alabama. http://www.ador.state.al.us/motorvehicle/title_faq.html

Since you know the last registered owner (the farmer), you should be able to apply for a duplicate title.

 

the outlet is in the bottom. the pickup for the gauge is the center top.

 

Sweet Jeep! only one thing... where are the rust holes? I thought they had factory rust holes:?

 

well thanks for all the help. I have found out that bolt on my master brake cylinder is vice grip size.:twisted: One of my spark plug wires needs replaceing(Cylinder one's). And probably by the end of summer the distributor cap will need replacing. Alright have a weird question. I didnt think the engine was missing but my dad did. We had it running and it would idle down and rev up nicely. My dad pulled number1 sparkplug wire and two things happened. 1. it had a short in it and it shocked him. 2.the engine dropped a few hundred rpm. He pulled number 2 and it didnt shock him but the engine dropped a few hundred rpm. Now something unexpected happened when he pulled number3.....the engine died. Now I am pretty sure it wasnt running on just one cylinder because it was running pretty well. What could casue this?!?!?!

 

Nope

 

Another good check is to look at the spark plugs. Their condition will tell you a lot about the engine. However, you need to replace the plug wires first.

 

Hi tuxpark, I am just finishing a two year restore on my 64 Tux Park, been through it all, everything all rechromed, engine and drive train redone, all body work and painting....you are starting a rare restore, and a fun one...give me an email and I can help a bunch with your process.....

 

my e-mail address is traxxboy@aol.com Thanks, I have a few tux part missing. I am away from home right now so cant list them.

 

Well it looks like one og the only things im missing is the passenger sides tailight.



(btw the jeep is in the garage now)

 

Okay guys a small update, I have tested the fuel pump and it is good. I am not getting good spark. I have a bad coil, and I think my rotor is shot. Currently replacing these items. If that doesnt work I got to check my carb.

 

I'd dump your points and go with an pertronixs brakerless points upgrade. Well worth it! Noce Tux by the way!

 

Thanks, I cant wait to get it driving.

 

IT STARTED TODAY!!!!! After rebuilding the distributor, replacing the sparkplug wires and sparkplugs, and coil....It fired up and ran on all four cylinders. Tomorrow after school Im going to start fixing the brakes. R)
