    I need a part number for a 1970 V6/TH400 in a 1970 Jeepster. Should be the same as a CJ5 with same engine/transmission.

    Thanks,
    John

    Hi John...

    Not sure on the #, but you're after a Jeepster-specific item there as the CJ5 never came with the TH400. Not enough wheelbase....

    Sorry for the mis-info. I found a Balkamp no (6005005 via NAPA) for a 1975 Buick through NAPA but am not sure. Should be the same as long as they are both odd-fire????

    Napa sez they have to go to Denver and it will be 5-7 days and I will have to pay $75.00 plus freight. Since it is that long I am going to wait until Monday when the first string gets in.

    Silly question, if hot rod shops make custom ones, can they repair/rebuild mine???

    What's wrong with it?

    You can have a 231 EF balanced to your crankshaft (if it's not in the block I think).

    Thanks! Daaah... You have to do the crank and flex together and that would mean doing the engine..... Sorry my mouth was way ahead of my brain. AGAIN.... Car-parts.com has nothing nor do any of the other autoparts here.
