It’s always been 75 cause in 1976 is when the 3 way catalytic converter was put on all cars from what I was told lol

Found it. It was 73 and older in the 90's.

• AB 42 exempted vehicles manufactured before 1974 from smog check testing. Also required that vehicles 30 years old or older be exempt from the Smog Check program starting in 2004. AB 42 established a brief rolling chassis exemption until it was repealed in 2006 where 1976 and newer vehicles were subjected to emission testing.

Got me an engine stand to start tearing into the “new” engine

It looks like you have a lot of things to do to restore this classic jeep.

My brother came by this morning and finally got the engine on the stand
Now getting a list together of everything I need to replace that I can see on the engine

Been having some issues with my daily so the Jeep has been put aside for a while But today the engine gasket kit came in!

Once a year post coming in hot
Getting the engine ready to remove so much room for activities!


the engine harness is annoyingly butchered looks like I’ll be making another harness or see if I can find one on eBay, having the 4 cyl makes it harder to find the harness

Wohoo!! Congrats! Glad to see you in a newer Jeep! You’re going to love the JT! Perfect for wheeling and everyday use. Definitely an upgrade from your old two door. lol
