Pulled the top radiator hose off—lots of scaly rusty grime inside. Joey says it looks like lots of radiator stop leak was in there, so I will keep my eyes out for a new radiator.
I bought plugs, wires, negative battery cable, oil filter, case of 10-30W oil, and a case of PB Blaster. Checker Auto Parts in Sedona carried all of those parts, though we did have to get creative with the vehicle reference listing. For example, for the oil filter, we used the ’49 Willys listing, but for the plug wires, we used ’65 Dodge truck…? So, unlike new Jeeps, it is critical to bring the old part with you.
Started to siphon out the gas tank—nasty varnish, and very little gas, so will just drop the tank in a few days and clean it out. The gas cap is missing, so will need to get one of those, too.
We have been way too busy with the JK's to spend much time on the old girl, so not a lot of progress, but there seems to be a leak in my wallet...
