wagon

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...

Pretty sure the alignment has not been adjusted on my wagon since tires were last installed in 1979… Trying to locate a good walk through or how to on adjusting my alignment, but there doesn’t seem to be a lot of specific information. My steering wheel is out of alignment to the left, and the...

I discovered a two inch tear that had occurred in the driver’s seat prior to my possession, and hot glued it, only to discover that it is now a six inch tear. I’m going to apply fabric glue, or perhaps rubber cement underneath, and attempt a restitch. I’m really intent on repairs over...

Hey all, it’s been about six months since I checked in. Today I finally got my wagon back! Briefly, my family has owned a ‘57 wagon since brand new. My great uncle purchased it, and passed a year later. Boasting 14,500 original miles, my great aunt sold it to my dad for me when I was born...

After a great summer of enjoying my 51 wagon I had it over heat on me the other day heading to the post office. Not sure of the exact cause of the overheating issue but I decided I needed to throw a temp gauge in the rig since I’ve been running it without one. Where the temp sensor would...

Couple (probably dumb) questions. Regarding 3rd picture: what is the little black turn knob at the top? And then the extra opening to the right of the speedometer -- anyone know what it contained originally? I assume this space behind the steering wheel originally housed this old radio? I...

Had long wondered if two spark plugs per cylinder would improve performance of a Willys L134 engine, now I know it does using my seat of the pants dynamometer and a local test hill. 1944 MB Jeep engine in a 1947 Willys wagon using a circa 1986 Nissan Pintara HEI distributor which in combination...

I know this is touched on often and I’ve read a lot of the chassis posts on here already but hoping to get more insight. We currently have a 1961 wagon that has the original frame and what we were told was a Volvo motor. After checking it out the motor looks to be a Jeep 4.0 motor (rough...

Hi! My name is Kara and I live in South Dakota. My husband and I just bought a 1961 Willys Wagon and are going to restore it. We drove over 12 hours one way to pickup the wagon! My husband already has a 1951 Willys Truck, but this one will be my “Mommy Wagon” that we can enjoy with our 3 girls...

This is the cleanest original paint I could find on my Wagon. In my Googling of 1963 Willys exterior paint colors, it looks like it's probably the Peacock Blue? Does anyone concur? Or can I find a paint code or something on the vehicle somewhere? Not convinced I'll go with original...

I had my fuel/vacuum pump rebuilt a few months ago (Athur Gould) and was surprised when it didn't easily fit back in to the engine. I read in the "Jeep Tornado 230" service manual that "if interference exists, remove the fuel pump and reposition it so that the fuel pump arm is under the end of...

I have what I believe to be a 1961 Utility Wagon (L6 Super Hurricane) that needs a radiator. I think I know what I need but some confirmation would be really nice. I don't have a lot of access to other vehicles to examine, so most of my research comes from examining photos on the web. Most of...

Got myself a 62 wagon. Body, frame are solid. Nothing after market done other then a color match paint job and a previous owner took it from 3 on the tree and put it on the floor. Going to rebuild. I'll need help

Joined yesterday to gain some insight on the general restoration process, help identify the engine, learn and make new friends. Traded a patio door for a ‘57 wagon and now I’m in the process of making improvements to it. I was told it had a ‘67 Oldsmobile odd fire in it but the guy wasn’t 100%...
