Re: T90 Spacer Kit - an urban legend?

Hallmark Card, CJ
David H. Hatch
Friends,
I found a Hallmark Card today, in their "Impromptu" section... It's a pic of a very little boy in a jean jacket, at the wheel of either a CJ-7 or a Wrangler. It's a closeup pic. Kinda cool. The door and windshield hinges, along with the flat windshield tell us it's a Jeep. The inside is blank, so you can give it on any occasion. I am giving it to my wife, letting her know not just boys get their toys. :) She gets hers tomorrow. Leaving in the AM for the surprise trip to the ice skate factory. My wife will be getting those long awaited custom skates thanks to the Jeep parts sales. Weather permitting, we fly in my buddies private plane. Weather not permitting, sore fanny by the end of the day. Take care, Dave |

<snip> Two paragraphs later, my question: If you had to doI have similar yet different problem. Some PO apparently got a new toy in the form of a rivet gun and thought that this was just the neatest thing invented by man since fire. This dude riveted EVERYTHING!!! One of the worst places he attacked was the left rear quarter panel. He replaced this and used about 100 rivets to install it. There is a double row of rivets that follow the wheel well, down along the bottom of the panel right up along the top! Sorry but looks a little more then just "rustic". Someone suggested spot welding each one then grinding them down. Any other ideas? Kendal Jackson --It might look like I'm doing nothing, but at the cellular level I'm really quite busy-- |

T90 Spacer Kit - an urban legend?
Mike Boyink
I just called both 4WDH and Turner, neither one has ever heard of the T90
spacer kit (mentioned in Granville Kings Jeep Bible as a slip-out-of-second-fix). 4WDH thought their small parts kit included whatever this spacer kit did. Lets hope so! On another note, I also ordered the side-body "Jeep" stickers for my dad's repainted Wrangler. $8.75 *each*! Wonder how much of that is trademark payoff....

Re: Buick 225/231 front axle clearance, now burst oil filter
Mike Boyink
From: Bill Lagler <wbl@...> AFAIK this only happens to swapped in V6's, not the factoryHmmm..the first V6 swapped into my Jeep I'm pretty sure was a car motor (it had a 1bbl carb and didn't all the Jeep V6's have a 2bbl?). The oil filter on that was level, as is the one on my current V6 which is a Jeep V6. Could this be a 198 V6 vs a 225 V6 thing?? Regardless, it always makes for a fun cleanup after an oil change...:) Mike Boyink Holland, MI 1966 CJ5 1983 6.2 GMC Rally Van (towdog) |
A Thanks to Landon
Reed Cary
Yes, a thanks to Landon and Rick Grover for scanning the Warn OD manual and putting it up on the
web. I don't have an OD yet. Been looking for one for some time. And now, when I am suddenly offered a good one and at a good price, I don't have the cash (I know - sob, sob) But I will keep the manual on file for some other day. (No you can't have it. It was an offer off the list by someone who could use it, but doesn't need it right away - hasn't started his resto.)

Re: Buick 225/231 Clearance
Chuck Pedretti
That is what I used, but I also moved the trans x-member forward 1.5" forI think maybe that's what Chuck did, problem is the V6/V8 to T90 requires firewall clearance. If I hadn't moved it (and maybe I need to move it back) I would have had to dimple the firewall. _________________________________ Chuck Pedretti MCSD, MCSE Consultant Magenic Technologies mailto:chuckp@... _________________________________ (46 CJ) _________________________________ |

Re: Buick 225/231 front axle clearance - Long
Chuck Pedretti
I'll take a look at my jeeps tonight and try to getcould you check the measurement of the pulley (crank) center vertically from the front round x-member on the 2a? This will tell me the most as far as where I am at for height. Thanks for all the help - stupid questions getting quality answers. BTW I posted the same question on the parts Mike BBS (AA's suggestion for help) Question: I am completing my swap of a Buick 231 into a 46 cj2a using AA trans adaptor to the stock T-90 as well as their buick motor mounts. Their directions are vauge at best - suggesting moving the motor to the drivers side 1.5" and 1.5" forward - the side movement would results in their motor mount on the passenger side being too short. I chose to center the motor in the frame (moving it 1.5" to the passenger side) and moved it 1.5" forward). The motor is mounted level front to back. I am running a 2.5" lift and there is only 4" of clearance between the crank pulley and the 1st point of contact on the axle. Any suggestions? His response: "The reasons for moving the engine to the left is for driveshaft(starter) and diff clearance (pan).Your engine is also very low in the chassis, you are not going to lineup on the radiator very well. Have you thought of starting over and doing some fabrication on the mounts, I have installed the AA mounts without having to do this, maybe you don't have the correct ones. The ones I use utilize the stock Buick mount (insulator). Mike" Unfortunately although he recommends starting over he gave no usefull info on how to fix the problem - about as useful as AA's conversion guide. _________________________________ Chuck Pedretti MCSD, MCSE Consultant Magenic Technologies mailto:chuckp@... _________________________________ (46 CJ) _________________________________ |

Re: Buick 225/231 Clearance
Arne Anderson
I have no idea if this is possible and doesn't have much to do with this thread
but it does have to do with a 225/231 so here goes. When and if I am going to put a V-6 in my 2A my intention was to leave the transmission and t-case alone as to not disrupt my drive shafts and do modifications elsewhere. I don't know about the layout of the V-6 but given the fact that there is only 3 cylinders per side I think this would provide adequate clearance at the axle. Of course the other problem is firewall but I was just hoping that would work out and lastly the steering I was hoping could be routed acordingly. Just my thoughts of which I don't even know if it is possible. My other thought since I have never seemed to run out of power on the trail is a suped up f-head. Like a performance cam from clifford which widens the torque range, a header, the weber I currently have, perhaps port and polish the heads, and throw on an electronic ignition. Who knows so many options?! arne |
