Hello Moses, I got one that I need help to try and fix. The clutch arm assembly that connects from the transmission to the the plate on the fire wall that connects to the clutch is supposed to be on a 90 degree angle. I have a 3" body lift and this is causing the arm to be on a 80 degree angle or so. It works and has worked but I would like to fix it. I believe I know the solution but need your opinion or what you would do. The plate that is on the firewall that has the eye hook that the arm connects to needs to come down 2" to 3" , then the arm would be at 90 degrees. I can't find a plate that is longer, I was thinking to take off the plate that is on, weld on a new steel plate that is longer, weld on the old plate to the new one to make it work? I have purchased a rugged ridge heavy duty clutch link kit https://www.quadratec.com/products/52026_1010.htm for the extension. It's the plate with the eye hook that I am having a problem with. I hope you see and understand my issue, if not, please ask me and I can send more pics or give more details of the problem.
Good Day

I believe I figured it out, the bottom bracket for the steering column.

I'm back with another question, I should have marked what part this was but didn't and we can't figure out what or where it belongs to. I hopefully you can tell us. Please see pictures.

Simon...Like you discovered, everyone has the 304/401 V-8 dipstick tube and oil level stick for your era Jeep. I searched and found nothing for the 4.2L inline six.
My OEM part numbers go back to 1981. For 1981-82 Jeep models, I found the 4.2L dipstick and tube. (The change year appears as 1983.) Here are those Mopar part numbers:
TUBE, Engine Oil Indicator
J3176846 1981-82INDICATOR, Engine Oil Level
J3237515 1981-82I dug further, and Crown Automotive offers the tube, which is available at Quadratec. This tube is backward compatible to your model:
Try contacting Crown or Quadratec about a matching dipstick for this tube...The oil level stick should be the same part as the Mopar J3237515.

Good Evening

You have been very helpful, now I got a new one. Oil Dipstick replacement, I can find the one for a V8 but no luck for the V6. Would you happen to know who might carry one that I can purchase?

Simon, you're building a nice Jeep CJ-7! Keep up the detailed work on that engine...Let us know how the hose fitting issue works out.
Moses
I picked up a 1/4 threaded nipple and is to big. If I put on a smaller one would it cause not enough liquid to flow ? Is it possible to speak with you over the phone? You are fantastic
-
Your information is fantastic, if I come across any other hang ups I will definitely be hitting you up again. Thanks for the support, I can't wait to finish the jeep up and get back on the road. I'll send pictures when I'm done. Some pictures for now
Thank you again

There are threads inside of this, I screwed in a bolt to try and figure out the size, but from what I am hearing from you, I don't need a fitting to connect the hose. All I need to do is place the hose over the cast fitting, seal it and clamp it for security? If so this is great news. Thank you for your help.

Hello, I am rebuilding my 1977 Jeep CJ7 inline 6 4.2L. I am stuck on finding this part as shown in the picture. The radiator hose hooks up to the engine block here and I can't seem to find the part that screws into this. It's small, I got a 3/8" connector, still to big, my radiator hose is 5/8". I bought this part from Summit (Fitting, Adapter, NPT to Hose Barb, 45 Degree, Stainless Steel, Natural, 3/8 in. NPT, 5/8 in. Hose Barb,) see pic below. I have tried everything to find this part and until then my build is at a standstill, please help.
Thank you
Simon

Hello Again, I have just about completed my rebuild, been trying to get it to run smoothly now. My biggest issue is my distributor. I was told, Pertronix Distributors were some of the best. Would you be able to recommend which one to get for my engine? 1977 Jeep CJ-7 Inline 6 4.2L. Thank you for all your help to get me here.
