So, Ran around a lot yesterday, ( it was 60f) while driving, my alternator light came on at idle, ( i have found loose bolts) rev it up a little and it goes away.... well got home and started checking the belt... it was tight... I am like wtf? Got a closer look.... all 3 bolts that hold both...

You have to remember September of any year, started the next year... so September 1971, was a 1972.

My Marti Report, and current pic, mine will always be a daily driver, nothing special, other than it is mine.

Well, after thoughts of trying to find a good right rear interior trim panel became unrealistic.... I decided to find an ashtray... that was the answer to the problem, found a (I guess) decent one on ebay... 3 days later... installed ! hole filled dilemna over !

He is right, 4A to 5A is 25% more, 14A to 15A is what 7%... They ran the whole car on 6 fuses, the 4A is really just the only one like that... keep that small fuse if you like , I just found it easier to do it that way.

I bought this kit from CJ Pony parts, and went up to the next highest Amp level (so, if it called for a 4a, I went to 5a) . It is a lot easier to find blade type fuse than glass. For the real small one, I had to grind it down a little on both sides to make it work.

So, I took it apart, reinstalled it, nothing happened... So I bought a reman unit from Rock Auto, installed it yesterday, now it parks the way it is supposed to!

Had an oil leak, coming from fuel pump/ sender area, hard to see exactly.... So, off to Advance Auto I went, got new fuel pump gasket, oil pressure switch and oil pressure switch socket ( what a lifesaver) I had nothing to fit it ! I also changed oil, test drove and filled car up, I found it...

Finished installing dash, replaced wiper motor ( now it parks properly), installed front seats back from upholstery shop, (they installed new OE style padding and covers) purchased from CJ Pony parts.

That is Awesome! Neither one of my seats had the Larger spring installed correctly. When mine come back from the upholstery shop.... they will be !

yes, but it seems to me that the long spring ran to the opposite side.. maybe it wasnt installed correctly ? Really all the work is on one side, I guess it makes no difference where the non adjusting or non locking spring goes ? Thoughts??

Does anyone have a picture of how/where the adjustment springs actually go on the underside? Attach to the slides. Mine weren't attached and I am dumbfounded as to where they actually need to be....
