I have a 1981 Jeep CJ-5. Of course like every other project it started out to be just a daily run-about. I bought the jeep from an individual who had done a pretty good job with it thus far. The factory 304 V8 had been swapped out to a 360 V8,(almost stock) with good paint and clean wiring changover. After I purchased it i pulled into the shop one night to address a few concerns and so began the process that I hope is almost completed. Two years later it now has...
