WellFedHobo's '48 CJ2A project (#158011)

And sadder still, most of them are not very tolerant of you wanting to share the knowledge you have in order to help them find what you want.   BW 

If it is OK then your problem is elsewhere.

If it is dead then try to compare it to a later one wire design.

They are simpler to deal with and more common if you ever need one in a pinch.

You will need to swap the pulley if it is running the wide one.

I think the mount bracket will still be the same.

With a bit of home research (sometimes Google really is your friend) you may be able to find enough information to be able to tell the part guy what he needs to get off the shelf for you.

Yep, they are amazed if you can tell them the P/N.

Even so, open the box and look.  Not only are most of the counter guys idiots, the folks that stuff parts into boxes care even less. I have seen more than one thing miss boxed.

The Delcos you want are 10Si or 12Si. The 12s put out a bit more, but are slightly bigger.

How big you need depends on how you will use it.

Do you expect to start often in cold weather?

Do you expect to do a lot of heavy winching?

If not anything more then the original 30 amp generator is enough.

My new steering wheel was trashed in shipping :/ 

But I have new brake shoes and a sector shaft kit for the steering box. So there's that. 

Got the rear cylinders swapped out and got the pads replaced on both sides. The hubs came right off, almost didn't need the hub puller but used it anyways. Made a common mistake: I made it look like how the last guy did, assuming it was correct. And the last guy apparently had it wrong. He had the small brake shoe facing forward and the big shoe facing reverse. So if it had problems stopping, that might be why. Unless he was driving backwards a lot. Can't wait to get into the front brakes and see if they made the same mistake. 

Not sure why but there was almost no brake fluid leakage on the drivers side but the passenger side was practically pressurized and let out quite a bit of brake fluid. I'll deal with whatever caused that when we go to bleed the brakes later.

I need to find a local place that will resurface the drums. I hear a rumor that O'Reilys does them...

If you followed the project up to now, you know the anchor was missing from the backing plate so I had to get another one welded on. It was a little different of a style but should be fine? 

I saw those cushions as well. Are you pleased with them?

I think I saw one of Metalshaper's videos and he had a good method. If I simply had a chunk of coil spring, roughly C shaped, I could actually get some leverage on it and pop the old wheel right off. Soaking in PB Blaster has had no effect that I can tell.

When and if it gets where it is needed, it works wonders.
