Too much caster can also contribute to death wobble. 5-7 degrees is the typically accepted range.
It's fixed. I fat-fingered the entry when I was making all the significant digits match throughout the form. You may need to refresh the browser...
Thanks. I'll fix it.
Piling on with numbers. These are my current Jeeps and the one I sold to Duffer: 1968 CJ-5 (sold to Duffer): 225 V6, T-90, D18, 4.88 axles, OD,...
Yes, that's what I really wanted to use on the '71. However, those hit my crank pulley and I don't have room to the radiator to space it forward....
My Jeep already had the 350 in it when I got it. The previous owner had notched the back of the crossframe for fan clearance, used a cut-down...
In may case with the Buick V8, I trimmed the bottom flange off the rear of the crossframe and the front pulley is a couple inches behind that. I...
At the end of the day science and theory doesn't mean much if you don't do something with it. That's what engineers are all about. Getting the...
All I can say as a former automotive engineer, is that an intuitive easy to use tool for quickly running dozens of possibilities is an intuitive...
That's bizarre. I've never seen that on an otherwise un-seized engine. With all eight sticking, I can see why it wouldn't turn over.
You're not leaving yourself much room for a radiator big enough for a V8 there. I'm saying that from experience with Buick 350 in a '71.
I stole the code for this calculator years ago because I really like the format: https://www.public.asu.edu/~grover/willys/speed.html I added a...
The Monroe shocks came in last night. They are shorter than the BDS shocks, but the dirt marks on the BDS shocks show that they never used the...
They have been on the Jeep since April 2021, so right at three years now. One disadvantage to yanking a leaf is that the spring clamps now have a...
You're welcome, and as always "Your results may vary" these are just my observations. High backs are definitely safer in a rear-end collision.
PM sent about cigarette lighter.
From my own experience between the '69 with low-back and the '71 with high-backs: These short wheelbase, relatively stiffly sprung Jeeps have a...
Yes. One leaf of of each of the four springs.
Yes that is them.
Yeah, it's definitely not there in the original picture. One thing of note. The old Warn overdrives and the new Saturn overdrives treat that...
