Short update, lot of work. Got it running last night. Fixed vacuum leaks and other issues. Now running ok. On to new projects. One thing, if you have a gap you cannot fix on the 2150 carb base,try a Fel-Pro 60094-1 gasket. Fixed 1/2 of my problem. I found the gasket p/n here or the other place with a google search.

Re: Big Orange Cherokee
Sounds good! I am glad you got it running. It was good to see it yesterday in person. It's coming along nicely.

Re: Big Orange Cherokee
Just took the Jeep around the block. Glad the engine runs good because it drives like crap. Transmission thumps in every gear. Rattles in the drive line. Back to square one. Geez.

Re: Big Orange Cherokee
congradulations on getting it moving again. Now on to square two! See what happens after the transmission warms up a bit. It could also be the U-joints causing the issue of both the thumping and the rattles.

Low fluid and rigging the transmission cable. I am used to a TH 400. All vacuum. Learning the 727 rigging procedure.

Re: Big Orange Cherokee
Yeah, the 727 linkage is not a 'kick down' but a TV. There are some writeups on how to adjust. If you feel lucky we are heading out to bulldog on Sunday. You will need to get a permit. Let me know!

Re: Big Orange Cherokee
Thanks, I work Sundays. I get three days off a week for working the weekend. Kind of sucks but doing stuff during the week is nice. No crowds.

Re: Big Orange Cherokee
Wrapping up some stuff today. My starter has an American Motors sticker. Is it possible it is original? And I found a crushed brake line to my left rear brake. Wondered why it did not look worn. Now to figure out how to snake a line past the fuel tank. Adding to the list faster than fixing stuff.

Doing tranny fluid and filter change. My pan was rusted and generally looked like poop. I need to get moving on this thing. I can't wait three days every time I find an issue. Time to start fixing stuff. So I beat the pan back in to shape, cleaned the corrosion and painted it. Probably a huge car maintenance f up. I don't really care. Time to get wrenching done and on the road. Last picture. I need to change the tranny mount. That is in progress as well.

Re: Big Orange Cherokee
Pan looks good. Perhaps it is too late but this is a nice pan upgrade:

It will clear the crossmember.

Re: Big Orange Cherokee
Dang. Replacing transmission mount tonight. The heli-coil in the transmission pad is all jacked. Now I get to fix that. Not sure how. Learning time again. Any tips greatly appreciated. Pics later. I am tired.

Re: Big Orange Cherokee
You may be able to get a pick at the helicoil. If you can pry the end out enough to grab it with vice grips you can tug it out that way.

Ted,
It's breaking apart. Which is fine. I just need it all out. I am being delicate as I do not want to screw up the transmission housing.

I hear ya. They can be as much of a pain as they are a help. I'm pretty sure they are steel so a pick and a magnet may help. Good luck... I'm rooting for ya!az chip wrote:Ted,

Re: Big Orange Cherokee
Clearance issues after lift install. Less than an inch from shaft to front of crossmember. The new trans mount will fix part of that if I ever fix the hole.will e wrote:Why did you trim the crossmember?
