Peaches 1980 J-10

[FallonJeeper]

I might make it over some time this week or week-end. Working on the wife's truck (It's a Blue Oval thing) for the local truck pull on Saturday. After that I'm pretty free. I'll bring over my J-10 and you can take notes. All my smog stuff is gone, and all my stuff works.

No hurry, do your thing w/the family. I was just wanting info to tinker in the mean time. I am going to the gun show Saturday and won't be bak until 1530 at the latest.

We are gonna leave the grill off until after paint.

Thanks Jim,
Jim

Put some premium in the tank (4 gallons) and got her running again. She idled for a long time then when the (somewhat) high idle released she started to die. The temp was at normal and after normal temp the oil pressure was 38psi idle. 40 cold. No leaks at the carb so I guess the seals swelled after sitting for so many years. Maybe I need to adjust the carb and go from there. More continued-stay tuned.

I put 4 gallons of premium in the tank and I'm sure some junk was in it. New filter and it ran until the high idle stepped down. I think the filter clogged after 25min of run time.

So I will drop the tank and swish it around w/the fuel in it and install a new sender.

I will install a clear fuel filter just before the stock one so I can see if any garbage gets in-this way I can clean that filter and reuse it.

Question(s):
1. Should I put some Stay-Bil in the tank to help loosen it or just swish it around w/the new fuel in it?

2. Does the J-10 have a circuit board for the gauges or wires like a regular Jeep?

3. If the circuit board is bad, where can I get a new one?

4. I think since I have the tank out I will get a sender.

Thanks again,
Jim

Well I cleaned off the junk and the Tcase is a 219.

Forgot to look at the transmission.

Does this Tcase take tranny fluid and an additive-if so what?

Thanks,
Jim

I was also looking at the 4WD lever in the cab and I don't understand the 4High with two markings on the lever.

Is there a place (recommended) to buy a brown dash (pad) that matches this '80 J-10 (aftermarket)?

Thanks,
Jim
