engine specs
I just acquired a 57 willys cj5 with a 283. engine needs some minor work but I don't nkow where it came from. Where can I find out some specs as far as a tune-up goes ( spark plug gap, points..etcc) I am having some difficulty with the engine ID numbers. Any standard repair manual I can get? thanks...new to club hot rod
