- 1985 CJ-7 stripped, stolen recovery...
partial 4.2L 258ci
1990 Ford Bronco 5.8L
Hey 1985 CJ7 with the AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l was stolen a year ago and recovered a few days ago pretty stripped. I am trying to get the engine running to see if it needs rebuilt or replaced with a v8: -)
One of the things stripped was the ac compressor the lines and all the under dash vents and switches. It is not going ti be a daily driver and ive never used the ac when it was.
How can I run the belts to bypass the compressor? It used the be a large belt connecting the ac to the fan pulley, then a small one connecting to the altenator. Do I need to mount the altenator in a different spot to be run off another belt.
just curious while I an bored at work. Note it has been awhile since I spent time looking at the 258 belts system.
Thanks
