It's not Western Engine, I've dealt with Terry for 15 years and there's nothing he likes more from a customer than a young kid or old man with a passion for internal combustion. The only complaint he ever gets is taking so long being meticulous.

Remember this isn't the first time Gabe's been sabotaged, either.

No problem with Western! This BEEP is happening at the tow shop I work out of.

Maybe there needs to be an FSJ invasion at the shop. I'm sure a little ass beating would go a long way. People suck! Sorry for your troubles man!

On the bright side, my BJ's order already shipped!

You want to keep that old iron turd if an engine here while you're at school?

Or your welcome to squeeze stuff in my storage container if you need to.

Keep in mind I have another worn out 401ci turd that could use the company. Pulled one from my dad's wag when Western dropped my built 401 in it.

I appreciate the offers! You guys rock!

I've got it worked out with my parents. I'm coming back next summer now so I'll be able to finish it then. For now all my Wagoneer build stuff will get mothballed at home.

Well, save you pennies. Might have a 401 J-10 to trade for that Cherokee of yours next summer.

I told Gabe he could bring his stuff up here to my offgrid shop while he is gone. At least nobody will mess with it.

Like I said you guys are Awesome. I couldn't do this BEEP without you all.

Changed the thread title to reflect the recent changes. This is now "Gabe's FSJ Diary (formally Grand Wagoneer build thread)" hopefully it will change back to it's original course some day.

Today went well. Got the Cherokee moved down the driveway to flat ground and got the fuel injection off. It is boxed up for future tinkering but for now I'm going back to Points and Carburetor! Get out your dwell meters boys, 1973 is calling.

Distributor rebuilt and in! Tomorrow carb, wiring, fuel pump, spark plugs, and hopefully noise!

This thread is such an emotional roller coaster. I am very tired just thinking about who could have done that kind of sabotage and why.

Nikkormat · Post by **Nikkormat** » Sat Jul 29, 2017 5:56 pm

I know exactly who did it, I don't have cold hard evidence or I would do something about it.

He has some mental problems from being beat within inches of his life mafia style with a stick of rebar by an old business partner. Can't make this BEEP up, he was in a medically induced coma for a long time IIRC three months. But I wonder if the beating was deserved after this and other incidents. He's the kind of guy to change all of the air line fittings in the shop because his tools use some weird connector no one else has.

The Quadratrac chain arrived from BJ's! And it is one nice looking piece of hardware. The links say: RAMSEY USA

Hey Gabe! Im not much of a reader nor do i have as much time to spend on the forum as i would like. But, i just ran across this thread and couldn't put it down! Really stinks what happened! Sorry it didn't come together for you but in time i am sure it will. Once again you are inspiring! Glad you were able to get into school too! Hope we have a chance to see you again in Ouray.
