226

Forgive me if I’m unnecessarily starting a carb or manifold thread that has already been covered. I purchased a double barrel setup from a gentleman in Arizona (hi Brad, if you’re logging on). The machining looks like factory spec to me, and the unit is pretty clean! The carb will need some...

I had been dealing with an issue with my wagon that ended up being caused by the distributor, but it presented very differently than most failures I could find online. I’m posting this in detail in case it helps someone else avoid going down the same wrong path I did. Background My wagon has...

Hi Everyone! My name is Scott and I am new here, I Just purchased a restored 1955 Willys Wagon 2 months ago after a couple of years of dreaming about one. I am located in Northern UT, and purchased the wagon out of Canada. I ended up lurking on the forum here a bunch over the last few weeks...

Long story about accidentally flooding my engine because I drove it in 50 degree weather after replacing clutch linkage and then not being able to successfully restart in 45 degree clear night weather because my Dad removed the thermostat years ago and never said anything until this incident...

Hey y'all, I'd just finished my engine teardown when I noticed a dent in the top of all six pistons. All the replacement pistons I've seen have been flat, so this seemed to be an issue. Since I plan on running boost, I need to know if this is potentially a weak link. Would I need to replace the...

It was a lovely day, under my wagon. The gal is off hiking so I get to play, hey-hey. The 226 in my 1961 wagon leaks a lot in front, and a bit in back, so I thought I'd replace the lower seals and gaskets. The pan came off easily, and the gaskets don't look very old (this engine was supposedly...

I have a 1954 wagon. I noticed that the speedo cable is disconnected. does anyone know where the pickup point is ? I cant seem to find it anywhere. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong spot. Its an 226 super hurricane engine.

Hi Is anybody running a different carb on a 226, How does it go My Carter was professionally rebuild last year and it seams to be starving for fuel It is not all the time, after driving for 40 minutes without a problem it started lurching and or cutting out I let it rest for a few minutes...

I think my evaluation of the Willys Traveller is complete. I've had some time off so I spent that time going through the history of Willys and all the characters involved. I have to say that is a great story within itself and I literally spent three days just investigating what these guys were...

Ok every one I know this is going to sound just nuts and insane. I am doing a complete frame off restoration on my 56 wagon. Yes it is really a crazy thing to do since I never have even done anything major at all. As I said before it was my grandfathers. Now I wish to put the original 6-226...

Here's my situation. I have been watching my '58 Wagon sit in my driveway with almost no work done for the last 2 months. I took the seats out.....woohoo.......no. Anyway, I have found out through my dad that the engine is free, the carb linkage is free, and all parts needed are pretty much...

I have had a Willys vehicle sitting around or driving around for the last 40 years or so. My first was the Forward Control longbed with a hyd dump of which I bought a new Warn overdrive for. However I sold that truck before installing, and the buyer didn't want the overdrive?! So the Warn sat...
