I wish I could take more credit for the photo, but sometimes a guy just gets lucky. It’s backlit from my exterior garage lights, snapped with my ultrafly IPhone 6S through a dirty Lifeproof case for that vintage effecttwisted frame wrote:Nice work on getting your truck back in shape, and extra great work with this photo!

Now that I'm digging further into this, I think you're right. I'll start there and report back.KJ Ryu wrote:If it were a V8, I'd say the timing is 180 degrees off, based on your description. Not familiar with the Tornado, though.
Yeah, it seems like most of the interest in Jeeps of this size is in the '80-up Grand Wagoneers, with the wood panel siding. Seems that lots of people aspire to own one of those GWs, and the price of prime examples has gone way up. Nice cars, but not my interest. The WJ is a pretty good work-alike to these GWs, if that's what your after. WJs with Quadradrive will be much better performers on the trail too.offthebeatenpath wrote: ↑Wed Sep 08, 2021 6:31 am My intention here is not to divert traffic away from this site, but I've found that the FSJ sites (this one and others, and FB groups) don't have much insight into the early engines, especially the 230. Plenty on the 360 and 401, but that doesn't help us much. There's plenty here on the rest of the truck that's helpful, but I've found better info searching elsewhere for the 230.
The Old Willys Forum has been super informative, as they put the 230 in the late Willys trucks and wagons before they put them in the J-trucks and the M715's. Check out this forum, and search around a bit. There's a full thread on 230 service bulletins, and a lot of other cool info over there, plus a few guys that are legit knowledgeable about those engines. I have the same username over there, and a thread for my engine build.
Good luck with the truck!
