Checked plugs. For some reason cylinder 4 and 5 plugs are too lean for my liking

Yes it does, but needs replaced. You can get them from a Chevy pickup supply house for about 20 bucks. They are the same ones Jeep used and are from GM trucks 1960-1972. Can be found here: https://www.classicparts.com/1960-7...I_47alJjH5gIVj4TICh0pyQTqEAkYBiABEgItkvD_BwE#
The one on the hardtop is a little yellowed and old original.

Converted my CJ-7 OEM 20 Gal tank to use the YJ Fuel sender system. I converted to in-tnak fuel pump using the NOVAK sender, however it is a pain when you have to change the pump and I have no end of troubles with fuel gauge and those cheap CJ-7 after market senders.
Rebuilt the JY sender since I use a higher pressure pump, also had to lengthen it and shift the pump location so that it sat in the slight depression in the tank (didn't know that was there before), and reshape the float arm. Not super pretty, but came out OK.
Need to get to the station and fill the tank to see if the sender and fuel gauge now work reliably. I have the Speed Hut Jeep guage set, so I can calibrate the sender to the fuel guage.

Probably not. I have yet to finish upholstering my OEM seats for the front on a thread I started awhile back. Too many house projects at the moment.
Hardtop really just needs to be cleaned up and painted, maybe a little repair work around the inner windshield attachment bracket.

The Novak in-tank pump uses a modified CJ-7 after-market fuel sender. These units have a round mounting plate and fit in the circular hole and are held in with the large plastic nut (similar to the 15 gallon tank).
For installing the YJ sender, I cut out the hole and drilled the mounting holes then used a Home Depot T-Nut inserts. I used 1/4 nuts so that the mounting screws fit tight against the mounting gasket. I had to grind down the nuts a little so they would not protrude past the top of the tank. I live in California and the gas tank has to have no greater than a certain amount of pressure leakage, so I need a good seal. I have not tested the tank after the mod, but I torqued down the bolts to compress the gasket a little at each bolt point.

Spent the weekend prepping the frame for paint and built the paint booth. I also welded up those little stand offs with some bolts and plate steel I had. This allows me to paint the underside of the frame at the same time. Certainly better than waiting and flipping it.
It's not terribly cold in NC, but I am lucky enough to have a mini-split in the garage, so heating and cooling is a thing and I use it all the time (was a great investment!). I'll start heating the garage Christmas day. Thursday morning I will do the final wipe down with SPI 710 followed by spraying the coats of epoxy primer. I'll also be shooting the shackles, sway bar brackets, motor mounts, and other odds and ends.
