- 83' CJ-7 258 with MOPAR FI kit 44 rear from Scout-locked F&R 36" Swampers-trail ride only, 78 CJ-7 258 stock all around street ride, '42-2A work in progress
A slightly more in depth technical question about the swap...
The eye on the end of the old CJ push rod is smaller than the eye on the new YJ booster pushrod. So yes the eye fits over the shaft on the CJ's brake pedal, but there is some 'slop'. Has anyone else run into this? Is there a bushing I'm missing or something?
Has anyone used a combination of the two pushrods during the frequently seen adjustable coupler method? That's where threads are cut onto the rods and then a coupler is used to achieve adjustment and therefore the most appropriate pushrod length. The pushrods are different diameters too, so the coupler would have to convert/change sizes, but I think I can find one at the hardware store that will do that for me.
Thoughts?
