1961 Willys Jeep 4×4 station wagon restoration project in progress

admin — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 07:18:08 +0000

This is an update on the restoration progress on my 1961 Willys wagon. Here I just got done installing a refurbished 2bbl intake manifold off of a Kaiser with the 226, refurbishing the exhaust manifold and studs, installing a new fuel line, installing new exhaust, and replacing the oil pan gasket and rope rear main seal. The current carburetor is a Holley AA-1 (Holley 94 variant). I thought it was burning oil, but after running it more afterwards it doesn’t seem to be burning much oil. Who the heck knows? I need to replace the plugs and check the points as it’s been sitting a while without being run for an extended period of time.

1931 Ford Model A Barn Find!

admin — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 01:07:19 +0000

-1931 Ford Model A, running 4 cylinder Tudor truck conversion been sitting in the barn behind it since 1976, recently pulled out. Sitting in 2.5 inches of ice.. After a few hours, she was all pulled out and my 1962 Willy’s Wagon 4×4 pulled her 500ft through a foot and a half of snow. All original!
STORY: Seen the truck from the roadway, put a note on the door leaving my name and number asking about the truck. Got a call later from an older lady. Her husband had died, and collected parts and other vehicles for years. She wants to get rid of everything around the yard, and doesnt know what the old cars and parts are worth so I am basically making her an offer on everything. The garages around the yard are filled with tons of model a parts, and older flathead v8 parts, O.E.M 50’s edelbrock parts ect.

I decided to work on my 48 Willys today. I hadn’t had it running since December, and reading some stories on the CJ-2A forum, I found motivation to get out there and tinker. Sorry for there being no sound, like my other two movies, this one was shot with my digital camera in movie mode.

Hot Rodding the Eazy Project (Dad’s Truck)

admin — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 05:43:06 +0000

Took some parts off a engine I had in my shop whose pistons split apart (literally) It had a carburetor from a Jeepster on it, and a intake manifold from the same. A vacuum advance distributor was also installed. On top of all this it has a Kaiser Supersonic head was installed (higher compression).

Since my dad’s truck wasn’t running the best with the stuff it had on it, I decided to take the parts from the other engine and install it on the Eazy Project to get a little better performance.

Took only about 9 hours to swap everything over, that’s including cleaning and watching paint dry.

New points, rotor, cap, and wires were also used. Runs great, but still need to fix a few things with the throttle linkage.
