Ok guys, I'm turning this over to Ashley. Her first Jeep and she has work to do. I will help her but she will do the majority if the work.

Here she is in her Stealth mode getting her Black Ops 2.

Update: Headlights didn't work-Tail lights didn't work.

Solution: Replaced high beam switch and fuse for the brake lights.

All works.

Next, to change the plugs/wires.

Looks good. Did you ever find out which carb you have? The number on the side of the carb you asked in the video is the size of the venturi. They came in 1.08, 1.14, and 1.21, not positive about the 1.14. The 1.08's came on small v8's and big Inline 6's. There should have been a small metal tag on top near the horn. It would've had the numbers to identify which kit you need. I found different jets while scouring boneyards, but also Carbs Unlimited carry a large selection of jets to fit these Motorcraft carbs.

Looks like 2100.

No tag and there are some numbers on the throttle side on the base plate. I wrote those down.

Fires right up at the touch of the key and two pumps.

Ashley changed out her plug today. Found two platinum plugs in the passenger side rear. Black, smelled like fuel (probably due to pre-rebuild of carb). One was clean and had a little oil on the electrode. She does plan to rebuild the motor. Fires right up though.

Update coming.

We installed the new gas tank/sender, new bumper (sweet bumper).

Now she needs a winch for her Jeep :nervous:
