hi shawn been thinking I played your video a few times and I don't remember my buddys jeep sounding like that and maybe somebody has put an even fire dist in here or maybe the had the dist out and put it back in out of faze at any rate the cyl. firing spacing is not evenly spaced on that eng. so either way that makes 3 cyl. in time and 3 that are out of time that's my thought I may be wrong I have been before any way it's worth checking out btw. as dave said the only manes that I can think of is Kenny bell who I don't know and lt'l john buttera and was at his shop a few times with a friend but I really didn't know him he has passed on now hope this helps....ted

Thats not my jeep.....but exactly how it sounds....lots and lots of youtube videos with that same sound..........including my jeep........I thought it had problems as I have never heard anything like it before, maybe it is the full length headers as almost all the ones I heard that had that soud had headers.

That sound is what made me investage the carb and ignition on mine....still not thru with the ignition investigation, but after hearing a lot of jeep videos where they sound like that , I am less concerned now.

Definatly does not sound right or the way any engine I have ever heard sounded....but untill I got the jeep I had never heard of a oddfire motor before.

But just because others sound like it does not mean I will not make sure mine is correct, because it sounds unatural to me.....I like the sound, but who knows what has been changed since 1963.....as this engine did not come in a 63 jeep originally....very well could have the wrong cap or be 180 out...definatly will confirm what is going on after the carb is back on.

It did fire right up like a new engine....maybe these do not crank funny when 180 out or mis wired....we will see.......thanks
