If they calibrate it in Kilometers, why the heck doesn't it say so on the dial?

 

A Big block Chevy powered Jeep?

 

I thought it might be metric. 140 kph is approximately equal to 90 mph (86.99 actual), so it sorta makes sense. But, again, why no label?
I have the 90 mph speedo from my CJ6 (also unlabeled I believe). Tomorrow I'll spin up both of them with a drill to see is we're right.

 

My wife and I rented a car in Denver two weeks ago. She looked at her speedo and said oh my gif, I’m going 100. (The rental car had Canadian plates.) Labels don’t always help! If you think you are going 140 in your jeep, you probably have an exhaust fume problem.

 

Yeah. I knew some one from the States who got stopped for speeding in Canada. "But Officer, the sign said 120...!"

 

I guess because it predates safety

 

Back in the ‘80s, I had a Canadian AMC CJ5 parts Jeep that had a “0-140” speedo, maybe about a ‘73 model year (232 engine).

Just bought a new Crown windshield and frame for a 69'. It's the curved top glass with the bottom wipers version. There are alooooot more service holes in it than the frame from my 64'. Need to know what they're for.

This is the OUTSIDE of the frame...

I'm assuming these all have something to do with a wiper assembly. But which is which? Also, Should there be a cover plate of some sort for the outward facing side of the motor?

These are on the left and right pilars on the INSIDE of the frame. The holes in dark blue go all the way through to the outside. Everything else are holes in the inner frame only.

This is the top edge on the inside. I'm assuming they're either for footmans loops or a mirror? Which is which?

 

For the 2nd picture:
Dark blue is for upper canvas door hinges,
Dark purple and one of the teal are for the canvas door upper channel.
The last teal (not mirrored to the other side) is for the vacuum wiper tube... maybe repurposed or never removed from production.

 

The first colored holes are for motor and cover mounting plus linkage access. The second picture show accessory mounting holes. Like for hinges and who knows what.
The top holes appear to be for sun visors.

 

Does this cover look right? I've never seen 69' windshield/wiper setup before so I can't tell if this cover I just bought for the wiper motor is correct and is supposed to sit like this. It seems as if the top edge covers the windshield gasket. And the bottom of the cover seems like it's open. maybe to vent rain/heat?

The screws all seem to line up for the most part.

 

Mine sits the same way

 

Ok cool! thats helpful!

 

I don't remember.as it was a '75 and 40 years ago for that one. Looks right. I remember taking the motor out to solder a broken wire.

 

Here’s a little better pic showing how it sits…

 

X2, this is how it is on my 74 which uses the same frame.

 

Does the top of your inner frame have sun visors? If so, I'd love to see how they mount

 

You can get sun visors for a later model but they use 4 screws each and on swing down. I doubt they will match your existing holes. I put them on
mine but mounted to the front hoop of the roll cage. I suppose there are other options but would be by trial and error.
