    Hey folks. A bit of history: I'm working on a 1954 CJ3B and took the engine out to have it rebuilt.

  6. Engine turning, but not firing.

    Okay, my plan to keep my Wagon includes me getting it running so its in better fashion to have work done. Today, I hooked up jumper cables in conjunction with a battery to try and start it. I managed to get a decent turn out of it, but I am not getting a fire out of it. All it does is spin. All...
  7. Getting my Wagon running......

    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...
