Paint, colors, details
Jeeps are the best
Can someone tell me [or point me to a site]...
================== * What were the original '46 Cj2A color options from factory? * What were the color of the rims when new? Same as body or a standard "all models the same" color? * Were the underside and underfenders the same color as the body? If not, what color? * What year did the "4 Wheel Drive" stencil begin appearing on the tailgate? * Were the "Willys" markings on the '46 painted different than the body color? If so, what color? * What were the seat covering options and colors? * Is there a "Cj2A restoration guide" website? ================== Guys, I am months away from this, but I am getting ready. Any help? Dave in Green Bay [It's almost game time!] In progress: '46 CJ-2a / '72 Honda CB 350K3 Super Sport / '71 Honda CT Trail 70 :)------------------How-To-Reach-Us-----------------(: David H.

Re: Spare rack

it and was not bolted down. I used straps to tie it down for transport and figured I'd check this out later. Upon closer inspection, I have found that this bed is narrower and longer than the orginal bed and will not work on my PU without a lot of major modifications (the holes and mounts are not even close). Someone said that the bed I have is from a 60 something model. The tire mount seems to be the same for all years from what I can tell. Needless to say I am going to have to start over with the bed on my truck. I found an original bed with the Willys logo on the tailgate but its kind of beat up for the price they are asking. I may strat from scrach or do a flat bed. Rob Bost 51 4wd pu -----Original Message----- |

More air on top?
Howdy,
This is partly a test to post to the new address, but mainly to ask a question: Yesterday I went to look at an anvil and ended up as a spectator to a conversation about engines. I vaguely understand about "porting" and the reasons for putting in shorter connecting rods, but in doing so, the air/fuel mix above the piston doesn't get compressed as much. I thought the ideal was to get the most volume squeezed into the smallest space before igniting it? Or am I confusing myself with some basic jet engine theory from way back? Is the point of increasing the volume of air/fuel mixture the whole point, period (not the squeezing)? Did I just answer my own question(s)? Straighten me out on this, please. PS. When I asked the guys in yesterday's conversation the question about the compression, they got a glazed distant look about them. Makes me think they don't quite understand everything they know about this stuff, either. JL |

Re: introduction
Well let's try this introduction. Been on this list for a while but the
newer members might like an update as to who we all are. I have a 57 Pickemup with the l6-226. It is in Richard Grovers gallery at F2. The truck is stock with the exception of white spoked wheels from a previous owner. Everything on the truck is legal with the exception of the emergency brake. The glass is showing a little age (white stuff) in the corners of the windshields and the rear window rubber needs to be replaced. One of the vent windows is cracked. The engine runs perfectly! There is a new carb, new exhaust (complete), new electric fuel pump (6v) and a previous owner has done some work internally on the engine because there are new gaskets in the engine. The battery is fairly recent and the rear brake lines are too. There is a little play in the front end which I suspect is in the kingpins but it drives and tracks fine. The frame is solid with hardly and evidence of decay. The spring pockets are fine but there is rust on one of the crossmembers. The 4WD works great with only minor seepage from the tranfer case and gearbox, probably because I can't drive it much so the seals aren't staying wet. The dash is intact with no cutouts for a radio. It has not been butchered and still has the original seat. There are still traces of the floor mat and some trim panels but not much remains except for the door panels. The drivers side floor has been replaced. Servicable but not to suit a purist The bed is pretty well shot but the rest of the box is decent. I was going to use the materials from a mid seventies Chevy to put in an oak floor (the dimensions are identical) and redo the rest. The cab is in real good shape with the usual degradation of the running boards attachment points. The firewall forward has a few dings but no rust. It needs a coat of paint but the truck could be used as is. Welcome all to the land of Willys.

Did you get the anvil? -Mitch Utsey Yup, I got the anvil.. To get back to the short connecting rods-- their reasoning was that in doing so the crank takes less time to make a complete revolution, there's less weight to pull while doing so, and with boring out the cylinders and putting in a nice snappy cam, the idea was to get more "hit" out of the engine. But I'm confused about the compression part. Enlarging the volume of air seems counterproductive to the reasons for shortening the rods: yeah sure, the crank goes around quicker, but the compression is reduced because the rods are shorter....?

Re: Getting it straight
Dear T Herb,
A little sarcasm here, but my attempt to deal with change. I logged on to the "one list" and I thought I was supposed to use my password somewhere, etc.... Didn't see any gates to pass through to use password, and archives buttons didn't produce anything at all. Am I with you all, or am I pre-Willys group computer abilities? Respectfully (sort of, Dan) |

Another E-mail or two might prompt them into part sales. I can make the uprights with a "break" but the neat little ridges at the corners would not exist w/o tooling costs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Help support ONElist, while generating interest in your product or service.

Re: What is this pull handle? (answer)

Dave,

As the caption on the photo says, it is the control for the governor. CJs with PTOs were frequently also fitted with an engine governor so that the PTO-driven equipment could be operated at a constant speed. Since there was no tachometer, the governor controls were calibrated. I don't have the book handy, but the first notch was about 2000 RPM and then each additional notch was another 100 RPM or so. The details vary by governor manufacturer, at least two manufacturers were used. I have an original ammeter that does not work very well that could be rebuilt or at least would look right in the dash. Let me know if you're interested.

Is this because someone else left it off or is it notused on my 62 pu. Ron, I just rebuilt the t-90 on my 63 wagon with 6-230 and if memory serves me well I did not have a washer either. Perhaps that goes with the 29 tooth gear. By the way--do you know where I can get the bronze gear that drives the oil pump/dist? mine is trashed and I expect it to fail momentarily.

Re: a question on your msg to WillysTech
Ok, am I doing this right? All notes I'm getting from the list have the
original sender's address on them. So when I hit the reply button, my reply is addressed only to the sender. On this note I put the WillysTech address in the CC: Is this the correct procedure. I sent a reply out before using just the reply button and got a bounced message. Damon in Va., did you get my response? On to this response. The farm hitch isn't a three point jobbie. It's just a big "C" that has holes top and bottom for a large lynch pin to go through. I've seen these used mainly for hay wagons but could be used like a pintle hitch.
