I'm with gert - that style hood decal is AWSOME.....
I spent the day sanding primer........ had the patter set to wide on the second coat and it feels like 80 grit sandpaper. Shoulda left it alone - first coat went in like glass. Oh, well - gotta be somewhere, might as well be here sanding..... at least it gets me closer to color

Nice!
I see your engine was built on May 5th 1977

Posted this yesterday on jeepforum, but figured you guys here might have some decent appreciation for it as well.
Got tired of almost cutting my hands on my license plate. Old piece of vacuum tubing slit in half made a nice cheap fix.

After uncovering the problem above and now knowing my engine wasn't breathing properly along with possible carbon and sludge buildup I decided to clean the inside of the engine.Rebuilt my 2G carb
I also found the vacuum port for the PCV 90% blocked when the PO mistakenly installed the wrong gasket and covered the port. I removed a piece of the gasket for viewing.
So that explains the timing cover leak.
After rebuilding the carb
I changed the oil/filter and replaced a qt of oil with a qt of Marvel Mystery Oil.
I also removed a vacuum hose and slowly poured some sea foam down the vac line while the engine was hot and running at 2000rpms. After slowly adding sea foam I dumped enough in to stall the engine. I then let it sit for awhile.
By the amount of smoke coming out the tail pipes the sea foam did it's job.
After only 100 miles the oil was blacker then a moonless night at Joshua Tree NP. I've been there, it's dark!
The MMO did it's job as well.

I've had good luck with it as well. It's like a lot of miracles in a bottle, it does some percentage of what it's intended to do.

Tonight I cleaned my valve cover gasket surfaces on the heads. Pulled the old valley pan intake gasket and cleaned the ends where intake meets the block. Need to clean the intake and water jacket ports tomorrow then test fit the intake to measure the block gaps.
Hope to have intake installed tomorrow night.
