Awesome. Don't be afraid to post up more pics and tell us more about it.
First car you bought off the showroom floor, Zorb?
Still driving it.
The high hood. A face even its mother had a hard time loving
In the longer Bestop video, with the interview with Pewe, they spend a good bit of time talking about what drove that hood. Interesting.
The one I posted was supposed to be a 1961 model... hence the year I was born.
I know it's a CJ3B. It's my favorite flatty model.
It's actually my favorite of them all.
Yes the story of why they went to the high hood is pretty interesting.
Just when I know everything, someone tries to sneak a fastball in on me.

VERY interesting read - esp. how it was compensated for the longer runs - NOT with identical length tubes. Also a great reminder that FI can be accomplished without a computer!
As much as I want to agree with this , it's like saying you can have a computer without integrated solid state circuits and transistors . Sure it can be done , but are you going to like the results ? I feel mechanical injection on a diesel is cool and reliable , ( think Cummins PT injection or Detroit Diesel 71 series unit injection ) . But modern EFI is reliable and tunable , we need to take hold of the good reliable tech . But I will stand next to my belly dancer friend and tell folks to leave the dashboard alone , give me analog gauges , sliding controls operating cables on HVAC , and knobs for everything else.
