Nick has an incredible variety of vehicles come to his shop. Some are lots of fun, some are made to work. But this 1947 Willys does both! Here we go!

Shaft and rotor in the distributor were not the same as the electronic unit. For that reason, firing order was redone on the cap.

Gooood afternoon everybody!!!! The ol’ Willy’s Jeep!!! I remember back in the late 70’s, the guy I worked for at the time had one of these: he bought a conversion kit and dropped a 327 Chevy motor in it. To say it was quick and fast is an UNDERSTATEMENT!!! Love seeing Nick working his magic on whatever is presented to him: great week everyone!!!!

I was a mechanic in the US Army we changed all Jeeps over to electronic ignition in 1980 Jeeps we're the back bone of the Army I hated to see them be replaced.

When I retired from truck driving my wife got me a very rough 1985 JEEP CJ7 with a four banger. First things to go were the oversized tires and 200 pound iron rear bumper. Then i pulled out two tomato crate boxes of rubber hoses, switches and smog control crap. Ripped out all of the wiring and installed a Painless harness. Hardest part to locate was a head for the four cylinder took 6 months but she is back together and runs great. Still tweaking the tranny and frame but otherwise perfect. Man needs a retirement hobby.

the shaft at the end of the distributor is offset. if you want the timing back you have to pull the oil pump and re index it ( the pump is on the outside and opposite side of engine). 1947 the timing mark is on the back of the flywheel. there is a window and steel circle plate you move to the side.

Nick the slot in the oil pump is offset the distributor shaft should be offset also just like the original look at the bottom of the original distributor and you’ll see why it won’t go in

The fact it's all black and red, not in war camouflage paint, is so cool.

Love these Korean War era Willys. It’s actually pronounced Will is , but anyway you say it these are classic. My dad learned to drive on these in the American base in Argentina NFLD, after the war. Then he signed up and drove them in Korea, with the Pats.

Dr. Nick, that was a blast!, my uncle was in ww2, he saw a lot of action, and he filled in to be General George Patton's driver near the end of the war, he was a good man, and I still miss him.

Truly the master. Not many can jump from working on vehicles from such a wide timeframe from the 1920’s to the modern computer controlled nightmares and everything in between. As for the Jeep, why switch over to electronic ignition when a properly adjusted set of points work great and it’s not like they are needing to be adjusted very often and have fewer things that can fail.

We amateur car mechanics run into fitment and other problems from parts that are supposed to fit, or which are supposed to be compatible with other parts, but which aren't.. So its a morale boost when we see that the pro tuners run into the same problems too. They have to work through the problems the same as we do, with the caveat that its not that we're bad mechanics, its just that the parts aren't always designed to be correctly compatible. How many times I've been thankful that I didn't have a 10-lb sledge hammer in my garage to "make it fit."
