Fuel systems are always a problem. The tank most likely has tons of rust in it which will continue to clog the system. I opted for a new tank made by a member here.Originally Posted by Old_Red_Jeep
Hey all!
My name's Joe and I just got a hold of one of my favorite vehicles ...
...I need to figure out how to get the spark plugs out to check for spark and I'm sure that the carb is clogged. I also need to check her compression but my fingers are crossed. Once I coax her to start and run, the next problem is the trans is stuck in 1st. Hopefully it's just a linkage issue. brakes go to the floor (not really surprised), fuel system needs cleaned/replaced, and she definitely needs a canvas top. Anyways, I'll have plenty of questions and hopefully I can turn this old girl into a reliable, short distance daily.
Brakes, again, I went stock, retained the single system but all new steel lines, new master cylinder and new wheel cylinder. Others can show you how to change to a dual master cylinder if you choose that route.
Plugs need a crow's foot to get the wire off. Then, the plugs just come out of the head. Here is what the crow's foot looks like:
The spark plug. Note, there are two different lengths that have come up with our trucks. In my truck now are the ones that are a little too long. They are difficult to get the crow's foot on. I have since gotten the other plug (from NAPA) and will eventually change them. I will get the numbers for you later today or tomorrow:
