    Moses, thanks for the tip on the wiper motors. As for the sending unit I cheated, I thought why not a fitting with a 45 degree angle. So thats what I did. I was going to load a pic but was unable to

    I saw that the sender was designed to fit ford motors, I did not know about the ohms, I'll half to do some more research to find one that will fit. I ended up buying new wiper motors like you put on your jeep in your book. Thanks much!

    I had purchased a equus elec oil pressure gauge. Finally got to the point to install the sensor. And the sensor is too big in diameter. So my question is there a problem just swapping out sensors, https://www.summitracing.com/parts/smp-ps243 ? This one is much smaller diameter. Thanks

    I was getting ready to wire the wipers and discovered I have a loose wire inside. Then after reading snopp2x's thread and opening the other motor I find that I'm missing the plastic piece with the brass button. Any ideas??

    Quick question, on this new harness it has an "exciter" wire that comes off the new alternator. That would go to the Amp light on the speedo cluster? Or an Amp meter. Or I can just terminated it, correct? I can not find the paperwork that talks about that wire. Been plugging away at this harness, its a slow process when one is gone through the week. but I'm gaining.

    I was curious what that hole was for?? LOL Thanks snoopy2x With me being gone through the week driving and spend time on the weekends working on the Jeep, my Wife and I joked that she had became a Jeep Widow. So I got her this. She just laughed and said she loved it.

    Thanks! When I get home I'll know what to do. Could one of you put up a pic of how you routed the wires. The transition from the window to\into the dash. Looking for ideas. Thanks again

    I want to add that wires from the wipers ended at the bottom of the widow. No signs of them ever been connected, no switch on the dash.

    Couple of things, I was looking for a gasket for the air breather to set on. I found it at RockAuto.com, under a buck. Been working on my wiring harness, been stumbling here and there. Not sure on this one. The wires for the wipers, got 2 red-1 for each wiper motor, 1 brown, 1 blue. The brown and blue continue to the right side. Do I need a separate red(power) for each motor? Thanks

    While I'm waiting for harness to show up. I find I need new gaskets for oil bath breather, there is 1 inside and 1 where it sets on the carb (this one is gone). My local parts store was at a loss. Any ideas??

    Thanks for the input and ideas! Snoopy2x thanks for the site. Where I'm not looking at staying period specific I'm leaning on 60bubba's thoughts. Centech's harness appears to be what I'm looking for. Add a few waterproof connectors and a good quality loom. I won't have to worry for ALONG time. Phone call time.

    Moses, I do have your "rebuilders" book and missed Painless Wiring. And yes it does have a Koenig pto winch.

    I inherited a 66cj5 and in time I'd like to restore it, let's say "High hopes!". As far as I can tell there have been no modifications, stock replacement of parts. For now Id rather keep the engine/ ignition/ suspension stock. This may well be a play toy for the wife and I, mild but little wheeling. There are a few things that need attention. First is the wiring, it's been butchered. So is there a source for a direct replacement harness? Second, Tires and Wheels. Im looking at 235 75r 15 tires with some aftermarket rims. My only concern is the way the jeep is geared, is that tire TOO big of a diameter. Seats to be replaced. Oh and the color WILL BE CHANGED!!!! LOL

    Thank you! Looks like I'll have to put my fabrication hat on..I had a feeling I'd have to.

    Moses... In your Jeep CJ Rebuilder's Manual, the spare tire mount that you installed on the 1955 Jeep CJ-5 came from 4WD Hardware. Was that a stand alone item or part of another package? I have not been able to find one on the 4WD site. I have a 1966 Jeep CJ-5 that I'm going to start modifying, restoring. Thanks, Roger

    Fluid film is a Lanolin base product. I use and undercoating gun and spay it on. In time road spray will wash it off. Also if you got a frozen rusted tool or ???? Spray it and walk away for a few days. I have freed more that 1 item using fluid film. http://www.fluid-film.com/

    I know this is an old post but living in Maine rust is a major issue on ALL vehicles. "Fluid Film " has become a standard go to product to prevent or stop rust. It also stops "green death", corrosion on batteries or any electrical connection. My 06 f250 came out of south Texas 4 years ago. No Rust. I have undercoated it each fall for 4 years now. Aside from some surface rust on the frame, the body is rust free!
