I carry a 12 volt battery and cables on board my 42 MB just in case. It has saved my butt a few times without damaging anything that I know of. It has never been an easy starting Jeep but it has also never left me stranded.

There are two coils inside the ignition coil. When the points close it energizes one coil. When the points open the energized coil field collapses it sends a pulse to the second coil. This increases the voltage greatly. Enough to bridge an air spark gap of .035". Hth

Should the guide be reamed after beating it in there like that?? I was under the impression they needed to be pressed in so they didn't deform?

Ready to sandblast my 48 Willy's truck frame & body parts when the weather clears. This is my FIRST project ever attempted and I intend to finish it fully restored. One problem I need to ask...someone..anyone. The gear ratio shows that it will run 45-47 mph but I'm looking at finding an OD to help it run a little faster. Any ideas or name & model of OD will be greatly appreciated. I hear Warn or Saturn would get a plus 25% increase in mph and that will be ok with me. Looking for any response, Thanks, John

Thank you Walck's, In Canada where I live there are very few trucks like mine and parts mmm.. trying to find them is impossible. Your online store makes it easy and the parts are very affordable too.

Hi Mark- I can't tell you exactly what the blue is, I think it is an '86 GMC truck blue - I can tell you it was the closest thing I could find to the Cerulean blue that Willys used back in those days. The engine gray is just Ford engine enamel from a rattle can you can get at Auto Zone. HTH Best of luck with your CJ2!

Pretty sweet price for a new skid plate. Happily, my M-38 still has the original-and it's in "like new" condition. Luckily, my FC-170 also still has all the skid plates and rock deflectors, and surprisingly, they are all in good condition too. Some had been removed and stored, otherwise they may have had the same fate as the rest of the truck. The rust monsters have not been kind to her.

The CJ5 dash panel was well made and the front transmission cover floor pan was made very with a little bending will be nice. I saved a lot of fabrication time at a great price $!!! Thanks my 60 Willys is coming along fine any more major parts I will use your store.

Hi Carl,

I have a 1950 Jeepster with the F head 4. From your video , I see I have an Autolite MCH 6207 starter. I was having starter problems, so I had the starter rebuilt and bought new fat battery cables and a solenoid from you. That seemed to solve the problem for awhile but now it's back and the car won't start. When I turn the key the ammeter dives all the way to the negative side and...nothing. For awhile, it would crank after I tapped the starter hard with a tire iron. Now, after trying it for a couple days, nothing. The battery tests at 6.5 with a meter and the ignition switch is new. I took out the starter and had the shop test it again.They said it tested good. How would I troubleshoot this?
(Btw, very good videos here!)
