We picked up this 84 Sport 3 years ago when I was disgusted with the POS Outback we had. It was a good buy at 1200 and it came loaded with spare parts. The 258 plastic valve cover was a sad time for AMC. My 81 J10 had one and it dribbled all the time I owned it. This Eagle has a 90 XJ 4.0 in it with complete XJ engine bay wiring spliced in. It was rebuilt along with the 998 and a rebuilt GW 229 installed. An Eagle with low range is a beautiful thing. So far I am averaging about 6000 a year on it. It is the spare "car" for days when we can't drive to work together. I would like to get it on top some more mountain passes.
Congrats man!fulsizjeep wrote:The radiator blew out on the Eagle 2 weeks ago. :-q I sold a QT chain to Bob so I would have some extra funds to fix or replace it. Fortunately, it did not need a core and was repaired today for a reasonable $105. I will get it back on Monday and need this thing running so I can go to Albuquerque and catch a flight to Florida next weekend, Oye. My daughter is having my first grandson. YAY! B-)
