I'm trying to get my Mother's 1979 J10 running again. It has been sitting mostly for the past 6 or 7 years (I did get it cranked everyoone once and a while and drive it aroud the block). The main issue with it is that it is real hard to crank and runs roughly. And, from what I hear, burns more gas than the average J10. I think my carb probably needs work and I am not sure if the automatic choke works right but I think a lot of my problem is vaccuum leaks. There are vaccuum hoses falling off left and right and I don't know where they should run to or from. I think I have looked through all the archives here and not found a diagram for the 1979 J10 w/ the 360...does anyone have one? Also, I can't find a fuel filler hose and vent hose for this model on the net..can I just use straight hose(made for gas) instead of the pre-bent? Thanks for the advice. Ed
Several questions- 1979 J10

OK
Thanks Tornado. I will try to find one. Another question if you have time: I can't find the pre-bent fuel filler hose or the vent hose for the J10. Any ideas where to find them on the net or can I just use the regular hose that is made for gasoline and just try not to bend a kink in it? Thanks Ed

It will answer all of your questions.

My suggestion would be to try to find a good filler setup at a junkyard. That is the only place that I've had luck although they show up on ebay every now and then and those are from junkyards too.CURRENTLY JEEP-LESS BUT ALWAYS LOOKING

Hoses and diagram
Thanks Dirtball for the diagram. It will certainly help. As far as the hoses for the fuel and fuel vent, I got some straight hose lenghts from a specialty rubber company here in town and was able to snake them through from the filler to the tank without any kinks! Just a little bit of creative routing but it works. Thanks everyone for the help. Now on to the vacuum line ID and replacement. I'll report back, Best regards, Ed
