1970 Jeep Rebuild

By day 3 I am always asking myself how I fit all this crap in here 2 days ago.......

 

I finished the seat belt harness and got that all done.






I got all the parts for the frame tie in, I’ll get that done this week.

 

Nice seats, Rob. You will be a less beat up after 4 days on the trail.

 

Thanks Tim, I’ve been running them for the last 5-6 years… and your right they are comfy.

 

I had been driving JEEP quite a bit and the power steering pump started making grinding noise. Looking closer I could move pulley 1/4” from side to side and the fluid smelled burnt. Took it off and I actually had side to side movement from the shaft. Pulled the pump from the housing and found metal shavings stuck to the magnet inside.

this is after I wiped some of the metal shavings off.


pulled intake off to fix oil leak. Ordered fuel injection system, it’s 6-8 weeks out. I’ll be putting carburetor back on until it shows up.


pulled radiator to see if I can make the fan shroud fit better. This is how it fits now, I’ll be chopping it up and re fiberglassing it enclosing the bottom so I can get better air flow through the radiator.

 

Took everything off the intake manifold and took it to friends house who has blasting cabinet. Brought it home and chased all the threads and put it back together with new thermostat. Sitting on bench ready to go back on engine.

 

Ordered new GM power steering pump, waiting for it to come in.

 

Does that upper radiator hose have a ground for the sensor?

 

Yes it’s on the bottom side in that picture and is grounded back to the block. I’m using that for the electric fan I have hooked up .
