This is actually installed the correct way, with the seal spring facing inward, towards the oil. It fits great, the "steps" in the stamped seal body line up perfectly with the axle housing and it looks like its going to be a good seal. Oh well forget I said anything then.  Haha! Where did you get it?  And keep up the good work.

It looks like I need to find a sliding gear and an output shaft gear, these have some significant wear.

Sounds great Joe. I'll give you a call.

Hey Steve, listened to the vid a few times(not the best sound), when you pull the throttle, the hesitation is most likely the accelerator pump in the carb isn't working properly. Sometimes you can pull the plate holding the bowl and pump and stretch the leather seal on the pump to get a tighter seal if not most rebuild kits have a new one. When you where by the tail pipe sounds like a slight miss, could be a number of things points, condenser, plug wires, crack in cap, timing ect. I'd say something minor just some things to check out. Hope this helps. Joe W

Steve what's a good time, I have to go to Ionia this week(think I have an original military gas tank in the barn) Wanted to make a possible trade with someone if it checks out Joe W

Just a couple quick updates. Progress is slow, but I am making progress. I found the gears I needed and the transfer case is back together and in the jeep.

Hi Steve, There's a cable holder(metal clip) that mounts to the side of the bell housing can't tell if you have it installed. Joe W

    This is a pic of bell-housing mount I was talking it's a threaded 1/4 hole in the bell. Also wanted to see if I was going to have trouble posting pics Joe V
