Ok Friday and Saturday night was nothing but answering one wreck call after another...GRRRR. And to top it off had dumb calls like " there are kids playing on ATV's and you need to come and make them stop". Oh well supposed to be at 50 by Wednesday. At least we can thaw out.

It's been fridgid here for at least a week. The house smells like fire because I've been just pouring wood into the fireplace, and to top it all off, the oil boiler has a crack in the "block" and is leaking water. Thank gawd I only rent this house.
BTW, it's been so freaking cold I haven't touched the CJ since before Christmas. I don't have heat (or insulation for that matter) in the garage. I know, I'm a big nancy, so I've got a couple boxes full of parts just waiting for the temp to at least get to 40

One day, my boy, you will go some place where you don't have to remember to bring the beer in out of the truck at night to keep it from freezing 10 months out of the year and you will say to your self "What was I thinking??"

It was like that when I lived in Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen, some of the locals would apologize for the
being cold. They would say to put them inside your jacket to warm them up!

I dont know how much of a "opportunity" it is to find things like this out haha but i really one need 30 bucks for 15 feet of fuel line and 15 dollars worth of gas just to see if the old beast will run. But i found out that ole AMC 232 i6 only pushes 100 horsepower,didnt check the torque specs but either way 100 hp doesnt float my boat, I'm thinking a chevy 350 or a 401 will replace that, i want to keep it jeep as much as i can, and if i went with a 401 i could get that sweet sticker that says "401 inside"

RIP Mike, we'll all miss you
Honestly, if you have to scrounge $15 for fuel to test the truck, don't even think about a 350 Chebby swap. Way much moola involved with that...
Just source a cheap AMC 360 and drop it in with factory parts. Then later you can find that expensive 401 and drop it in with minimal hassles.
Just an opinion from a guy used to doing it on the cheap side...
