Thanks for sending the manual.

Jeep Manifesto Commercial

One of the greatest ads for a car company I've ever seen.

This monologue has to apply to more than just cars. It's very timely. I think Americans are sick and tired of being talked down to and...

Re: New shorty conversion! Road trip anyone?

You said you re-wired it...but it's not killing the power to the ignition once the key is switched to the off position. Re-check your work.

Re: New shorty conversion! Road trip anyone?

It's very close to the back left of the bus so I can't see much gas getting through the flooring and into the interior. But I will get to it eventually.

Any advice on the ignition?

Re: New shorty conversion! Road trip anyone?

Thanks for the advice. I will try to find a timing light. It has gas and I don't think it has anything to do with getting fuel through the engine.

Another question. The ignition that we rewired...

Re: New shorty conversion! Road trip anyone?

Bus seems to be running on 7 cylinders. There's always been a "knocking" present. How would I go about diagnosing the problem? Checking the compression of each cylinder, spark plugs? What else could...

Re: New shorty conversion! Road trip anyone?

It's been a while and we've been pretty busy with a 3-day pirate festival we had this past weekend called "Billy Bowlegs." It's a annual event where "pirates" "raid" the city on a pirate ship and...

They actually love it. Many of my neighbors are defense department engineers and aircraft aircrew and many came out to take a look. They thought it was the coolest thing. :lol:

We got lucky with the basically primed paint job. Today, we will start painting it a silver aluminum with a compressed air spray gun. Later, I'm thinking of painting the stars and stripes on the...

Re: Laid-off Workers living in RVs (and Skoolies!)

Yes. But I imagine either the ordinance isn't enforced or people just move their "homes" every couple of days or so.

Re: New shorty conversion! Road trip anyone?

What does everyone use to remove old, rusty and expanded screws? Should a standard extractor bit from Lowes work? What's the best method to removing them? Because I have a lot to take out!

Thanks for the info on the starter. I got the new starter installed today. I went to start the engine and the engine is turning but it won't actually start. There seems to be no spark to start it up....
