Roxanne: 1985 Cj-7

swaped in the yj master cylinder and booster for power brakes, it fit well but i ran into trouble with the hydraulic clutch line so i fitted on a couple different brass adapters to move the line to the other side.

cool, i still need to get those rock sliders finished up. Guess your not going out of town?

oh yah and put on the new front bumper,

finshed the tie rod flip, reamed the knuckes and tap in the cones, then flipped the tierod and drag link as well as changed the pitman arm back to stock instead of a 4" drop.

So i changed a fuel filter and now the engine is sputtering for gas. The small fuel filter/prefilter before the fuel pump had never been changed to my knowlege so i changed it, no big deal. But now the engine won't turn over for more than a secound or two, it sputters and dies. why would changing this "prefilter" starve the pump and engine of gas? What to do, 1-run it without the little filter in front of the pump, i would think this would wear out the pump quickly. 2-remove the little filter and move the big filter in its place? suggestions?

i just replaced my fuel filter and inline fuel pump, and the jeep runs fine but now i have the most annoying whining coming form the electric pump. This was not there before with the old pump, the only thing that i can tell is that i moved the fuel pump from the frame rail to mount up under the tub. This way it would be closer to the tank and would not have to suck gas froma longer distance. But when i put my hand on the pump to dampen the noise it doesn't go away. So its not just vibrating off the tub. I don't know what could be causing this excessive whining?

Does it have a good ground?

its grounded about 3" away from the pump but thats a good point i grounded it over undercoating that i had sprayed on. So it might be just enough resistance to work but not too well. I'll remove the ground strip the surface to metal and reattach it to see if that fixes the problem. thanks

electric pumps are loud. it wasnt getting full voltage before and was not running at full speed. ive heard of people cutting some resistance out of an oem set-up (read- ricer performance mod) and their pumps suddenly get loud. live with it.

ford e2000 probably. is it not loud? what did you do for fittings? they have barb fitting on both ends from the factory.

e2000. ford put them on everything from a 4 banger to a 460. i had the napa p5000 on the scout. it was loud, so i put a walbro in the tank.

my stock inline pump in PN e2000. (86 Bronco efi 302)...Like $90 or so

do you have the insulation around it?

yah i actually have two layers of insulation around the pump. like i said the sound isn't unbearable now but definently more obvious than before, i guess just a different model pump.

I've got the ford pump they are talking about, I guess a 345 with a single 3" exhaust makes me not notice it. Different brands may be louder though, who knows.

We did away with the mechanical on the treefitty and put an electric one in and never heard it, but I may have had the same issues as Jimmy too. ;)
