GENERAL
An
engine tune-up should be performed for all
Jeep Vehicles each 6000 miles [9.600 km.] or at the end of each 250 hours off-the-road operation,
to ensure best possible performance at all times.
The
tune-up should follow the sequence given in
this section.
Because of federal laws limiting exhaust emissions,

it
is even more important that the engine tune-up is
done
accurately, using the specifications listed
on the tune-up sticker found in each engine com­

partment.

Note;
To ensure proper operation and effectiveness
of the exhaust emission control system, and to
comply with
Federal
and State requirements, a
recheck
of ignition timing, idle speed and idle mix­

ture
and necessary adjustments must be performed
after the first
2,000
miles [3.200 km.] of vehicle
operation.

A
minor engine tune-up should be performed every
6,000
miles [9.600 km.] or at the end of 250 hours
of off-the-road use.
Major
engine tune-up should
be performed every 12,000 miles [19.300 km.].

The
parts of units which affect power and perform­
ance may be divided into three groups:
(1) Units affecting compression
(2) Units affecting ignition
(3) Units affecting carburetion

The
tune-up procedure should cover
these
groups
in
the order given. While the items affecting com­
pression and ignition may be handled according
to personal preference, correction of items in the
carburetion
group should not be attempted until

all
items affecting compression and ignition have
been satisfactorily corrected.

Note:
To make sure hydro-carbon and carbon
monoxide emissions
will
be within limits, it is very

impotrant
that the adjustments be followed exactly
as listed on the sticker found in each engine compartment.

a.
Dauntless V-6 Engine.

Filtered
air from the carburetor air cleaner enters the engine crankcase through a hose. The ventila­tion valve is mounted on the right cylinder bank
rocker
arm cover (Fig. C-7) and is connected by a

hose
to a fitting at the base of the carburetor at the

intake
manifold opening. The valve varies the air
flow through the crankcase to
meet
changing condi­
tions at all engine
speeds
and loads. To check the operation of the system, remove the valve with the

hose
attached from the rocker arm cover.
With
the engine running at fast idle, a vacuum must be felt
at the open end of the ventilation valve. If no

vacuum
is present, the valve and
hose
should be
inspected and cause of the restriction determined.

Connect black lead to the ground.
Turn

ignition switch on; with
engine

dwell
meter. If the meter reads zero,
crank
the

engine
a fraction of a revolution to
close
the

breaker
points.

Distributor
resistance is normal, if dwell meter
pointer is within range of
black
bar. Distributor resistance is high, if
dwell
meter pointer is not

within
the black bar.

C-l 7. Distributor
Point
Dwell

Using
a dwell tester, connect red
lead
to the
distri­

butor terminal at coil. Connect black lead to
ground.
Set selector switch to the number of
cylin­

ders in the
engine
being tested. Operate
engine
speed at specified rpm. and
note
readings. Cam

dwell
angle must be 30° for the Dauntless V-6
Delco equipped engine, 29° ±: 3° Prestolite equipped
engine
and 42° for the
Hurricane
F4 engine. If the dwell reading is not to specifications,
trouble could be improper point spacing, point

rubbing,
defective block or breaker arm, or mis­
aligned and worn distributor cam.
Adjust
dwell
as shown in Fig. C-14 for the Delco equipped
Dauntless V-6 engine. For cam dwell adjustment
of the Prestolite equipped V6 and
Hurricane
F4 engine, refer to Par. C-10,
step
a.

Dwell
variation is determined by noting any
dwell
change as the
engine
is operated at different
speeds.

Excessive
variation indicates a change in point opening that can result from shaft or bushing wear,

or
from the distributor plate shifting because of

wear
or
looseness.

Measure
dwell variation at idle speed, using same

test
hookup for checking dwell. Increase speed to 1750 rpm.;
note
dwell reading.
Then
slowly reduce
speed to idle while observing dwell meter. Dwell

variation
should not exceed 3°. If dwell variation
exceeds
3°
between
idle speed and 1750 rpm.,
probable wear in the distributor shaft, bushings, or

breaker
plate is indicated. Distributor should then be checked more thoroughly.

C-l8. Check Ignition Wires
and
Connections

Examine
and clean the insulation on all ignition

wires
and check all connections. Wires should be
firm,
flexible, and free from roughness and minute
cracks.
Bend wires to check for brittle,
cracked,
or

loose
insulation. Since defective insulation
will
per­

mit
crossfiring or missing of the engine, defective

wires
should be replaced.

C-l9. Test Ignition
Cables

To
remove cables from
spark
plugs, use
Spark
Plug
Cable
Remover
Tool
W-274.
Twist
the
boot

slightly to break the seal and, grasping the rubber
protector
boot,
lift straight up with a steady even

pull.
Do not grasp the cable and
jerk
the cable off; this
will
damage the cables. Do not use a probe
on
these
wires; puncturing them may cause a
separation in the conductor. To remove ignition cables from the distributor cap or coil tower,
loosen

the nipple first, then grasp the upper part of the nipple and the cable and gently
pull
straight up.

Test
the cable with an ohmmeter. Resistance value

per
foot
is
3000-7000
ohms. The ignition cables
can
be checked for
circuit
continuity by removing
the cable from the
spark
plug and holding the cable
end Vi" [6,35 mm.] from the engine. A strong

spark
indicates
good
conductor continuity.

When
connecting the cable to the
spark
plug, be
certain
a
good
connection is made and that the
protector
boot
fits tight on the
spark
plug. A
partially
seated cable creates an additional gap in
the
circuit
and the resulting
spark
jump
will
cause

terminal
corrosion and cable damage.

C-20. Coil

When
an ignition coil is suspected of being defec­ tive, it should be checked on the car. A coil may

break
down after it has reached operating tempera­
ture.
It is important that the coil be at operating
temperature when
tests
are made.

Note:
The ignition coil and ballast resistor for the

V-6
engine
must be of the same manufacturer.
Ballast
resistors and ignition coils of one manufac­

turer
are interchangeable with both units of the
other.

for the correct service of the

air
cleaner.

C-22.
Check Fuel Lines and
Screens

Check
all fuel line connections to guard against
leakage.
Check
fuel pump filter F4
engine
and
fuel
line filter V-6 engine. Replace fuel filter if
necessary.

C-23. Check Fuel Pump a.
Fuel
pump pressure is important, for low pres­

sure
will
seriously affect
engine
operation and high

pressure
will
cause excessive fuel consumption and
possibly flood the carburetor. Should there be any doubt of normal operation, check the pressure with
a
gauge
as shown in Fig.
C-2 2.
The minimum and

maximum
allowable pressures are 2% to 3% lbs. [0,176 a
0,264
kg-cm2], for the
Hurricane
F4 en­
gine.
Fuel
pump pressure at carburetor (inlet) on
the Dauntless V6-225
engine
should be 3% lbs.

b.
Test for volume, as a pump may build up suffi­
cient pressure but
fail
to produce sufficient volume.

given in Par. C-30. Observe the vacuum
read­

ing and interpret as follows:

a.
A steady reading from 18" to 20" [457 a 508
mm.] of mercury is a normal reading, indicating
that valve and
spark
timing, valve seating, and
piston ring sealing are all satisfactory.
b. A steady but below normal reading indicates

a
condition common to all cylinders such as a

leak
at the carburetor gasket, late ignition or valve
timing, or uniform piston ring and bore wear.

c.
A slowly fluctuating or drifting reading in­ dicates that the carburetor idle mixture is incorrect

Look
for the cause in the fuel system.

d.
A rhythmic pulsating reading is caused by a
condition affecting one or more cylinders, but not

all,
and indicates leaky valve, gasket blowby, re­
stricted intake port, or an electrical miss.
e. An intermittent pulsating reading is caused by

an
occasional malfunction, such as a sticking valve
(all
valves may be
erratic
in operation if the valve
springs are weak), electrical miss caused by insuffi­
cient distributor point tension or low coil
voltage

coupled with inconsistent
spark
plug
gaps
or fouled
plugs, or
dirt
in the fuel system finding its way into
passages of
critical
size or valve
seats
in the
car­

buretor.

f.
A normal reading that quickly falls off (with

engine
running at
2000
rpm.) indicates exhaust
back
pressure caused by a restriction in the exhaust
system.

g.
Make indicated corrections to bring vacuum to 18" to 20" [457 a 508 mm.] of mercury normal

reading.

C-25.
Carburetor Adjustments

•
Refer to Fig. C-24, C-25 and C-26.

Carburetor
adjustments should not be attempted

until
it is known that
engine
ignition and com­
pression are in
good
order. Any attempt to adjust

or
alter the carburetor to compensate for faulty conditions elsewhere
will
result in reduced econ­
omy and overall performance.

Caution:
If an
engine
is idling too slow or rough,
this may be caused by a
clogged
ventilator valve

or
hose;
therefore, never adjust the carburetor idle
without first checking the crankcase ventilator
check valve and
hose.

The
air cleaner must be left in place while making
idle speed and mixture adjustments. All lights and accessories, must be turned off. The positive
crank­

case ventilator system should also be in
good
oper­
ating condition when making carburetor adjust­ ments.
Either
of
these
items noticeably affects the

air
fuel ratio at idle.

VALVE
ADJUSTMENT

Proper
valve adjustment is important to prevent
burning
of valves and poor
engine
performance.

This
adjustment consists of obtaining a specified

lash
in the valve mechanism. The exhaust valve
tappets and the intake valve rocker arms should be adjusted to the proper clearance with the
engine

cold (at room temperature). Valve clearance can
be properly adjusted only when the tappet is on the
heel or low portion of the cam.

-VALVE
TIMING
D-108. Valve Adjustment Procedure

The
exhaust valve tappets are adjusted by turning
the adjusting screw in or out of the tappet as neces­
sary
to obtain the proper clearance. Where special
wrenches can be obtained, they should be used to facilitate the adjustment. The proper clearance is .016" [0,406 mm.]
between
the end of the adjusting
screw and the
bottom
of the exhaust valve.

Crank
the
engine
over to
close
a valve and check
the clearance with a feeler
gauge.
To adjust, hold
the tappet with one wrench and
turn
the adjusting

screw,
with the other.
Check
and adjust each of
the tappets in proper sequence.

Adjust
each intake valve by adjusting the rocker
arm
screw at the push rod to obtain .018" [0,457 mm.] clearance
between
the rocker arm and the
valve stem with tappet on the heel of the cam.
D-109.
Check
Valve
Timing

To
check the valve timing, carefully set the intake
valve rocker arm adjustment for No. 1 cylinder to .026"
[0,6604
mm.]
between
the rocker arm and the
valve stem. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise until
the piston in No. 1 cylinder is ready for the intake stroke. The intake valve
opens
9° before top center
(BTC).
Note
the distance
between
the
"TC"
and
"5°"
marks on the indicator on the timing gear
cover and estimate the 9° before top center position.
See
Fig.
D-43.
With

Ventilation

Be
sure there are no air leaks at the tube connec­
tions
between
the air cleaner and the oil filler tube,

and
that the oil filler tube cap gasket is in
good

condition. Always keep the cap locked securely in
place. When tuning the
engine
or grinding valves, remove the control valve and clean it thoroughly.
If
the valve is blocked with carbon, the ventilating
system
will
not operate and, should the valve

fail
to seat, it
will
be impossible to make the
engine

idle satisfactorily. Refer to Par. C-6 for servicing.
