Wired up the tachometer.
 
I like the blue. When working on my 360 I wanted to paint some things blue, but found so many different blues on my old AMC 304 I settled on "Old Ford Blue". A blue quite similar to yours. It's easy to tell what I've worked on, it's painted blue.

But my my, beautiful blue engine and a Catapiller yellow power steering unit and yellow wires? Then I scratch my heas on the double power steering pulleys. You must be using the AC pulleys to power the pump. Not a bad idea. It sorta hides the fact that your missing the air pump the pulley on the power steering pump is supposed to drive. I like it.
 
The can said "old ford blue" but, I found that every brand had their own shad. I liked this one the best. Ya, the pump needs to change color now. Caterpillar paint is tough, oil resistance and it was handy and I like the look of it on the Dana 300 . That's for another day when it warms up around here. as for the pulley, The belt keep slipping when the front locker was engaged. I saw that pulley on a Chevy suburban and it solved that problem.
 
:) so yours is "Old Ford Blue" too. You are right even with such a distinctive name the color does vary some. Some of my parts are painted with slightly different OFB paint. I do think that once it gets hot a few times the color becomes the same. Today all the paint looks the same to me.

I've got a small slipping problem with my power steering pump as well. It's not a BIG deal but being someone who considers himself an aceptable mechanic the occasional chirp bothers my pride. Unfortunately my Jeep still has the AC pump and air pump, (eventually for on board air) so all my pulleys are otherwise occupied. I did learn something though, until now I did not know that Chevy used a double pulley system on some power steering pumps. Another possible place to find one in the future.

Look'n good man.:chug:

I had to use a double belt with my front locker also.
 
Mounted and wired my new 9000 pound Badlands winch.
 
I went by Napa to pick up two self adjust brake rebuild kits & saw they carry "classic" style windshield wipers so I got 2 for the CJ5 . They slipped right on & work great!
 
Good to see you guys out playing in your Jeeps. I sure wish I was instead of out working in high winds my day sucked.
