Looking forward to meeting everyone to go up the North Gate Road to the top of
Mt. Diablo.

Meeting spot will be in the Safeway Parking Lot on Ygnacio Valley Road and Oak
Grove Road in Walnut Creek.

What time do you guys want to meet there?

I still have some TLC to do on the truck, possible water pump and fix my tail
lights drop in voltage which is currently at around 8 vdc.

Later, Mac

If I don't have to leave town, I'll try to head down the hill into the bay
area to meet up with you. The 74's back on the road, and originally I'd say
that its 258 got good road mileage, but the last tank was in the 13 mpg range.
I think more fiddling is in order :-/

Heh. Shortly after I signed onto the IFSJA boards, there was an IFSJA run
to the OHV park in your backyard.

Naturally, the six cylinder jeep sprung [another] fuel leak, so I drove a
crown vic down there and met up with everyone. Even before the economy got
nasty, I was too cheap to round trip a 401 from the bay area to LA ;)

Hi CA-FSJers,

I am selling my Gladiator and wanted to offer it to the FSJ crowd before putting
it out to the masses on Craigslist / Ebay.  I'd like to find a good home for it
as these old Jeeps are quick rare, especially this complete.  For the purist or
anyone else who loves the stock Jeeps, this Gladiator would make an ideal
candidate for restoration.  It's stock, runs great, and the trim pieces are all
there.  Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Thanks,



Dan

If it is fine at idle or around town, it could be deposits built up or a
partially clogged radiator or a collapsing return hose. Then look for timing
that is advancing too much, or a poorly specs carb giving you a lean mixture at
higher rpm.

At this point we cannot tell you to check your gauge as your coolant is boiling
over unless the coolant mix does not have enough water. You could try one of
those infrared thermometer and check various sections of your radiator.

intake manifolds.  I was lazy, most of the time I will drill a 1/8" bleed hole
on any new thermostat before installing it, so it can bleed the air out before
the thermostat opens. Something to think about anyway.

weather causes things to get mighty hot and some boil over once parked. So, I'm
thinking it's a high-pressure vs. $7 thermostat. And the high-pressure is
winning.

my rims have the 5 1/2 diameter bolt pattern, if i'm measuring right.  I have a
few "LAREDO" rims (with dead tires) that fit on there just fine, for comparison
