Installed the fuel pump, fuel lines and new plugs. The jeep does not have a gas tank and the prior owners were using a plastic portable tank. I'm using it too for now. With that, the carb rebuild, fuel lines and new plugs I now have a complete fuel/ignition system.
Not quite running yet as I'm not getting a spark at the plugs. Getting advice from the CJ3a forum on what to check, so I've got some investigation to do. The prime suspect at this point is the distributor. I replaced the condenser, but may need new points and some tightening up. If the timing is off, I've really got some work to do.
It is nice to see some new parts in place as it begins to look more like a real engine. It's also good to feel like I'm making some progress. Still a long way to go, though.
