Pulling the shift cable end forward of the transmission shift lever ball stud before installing the shift cable end to the transmission shift lever ball stud will result in a poor adjustment.

What kind of Question is this ?

Rear axles on all AMC Eagles interchange with each other, regardless of year. Jeep Cherokee (compact XJ models) will interchange, but the shock mounts are different - Jeep mounts must be cut and welded, at least on one side. Make sure the axle ratio is the same as the front axle ratio, or the same as the axle you're replacing.

Drop the transmission oil pan, remove the "Valve Body" split the valve body apart, clean it up make sure no corrosion in the passages, and while in there get a B&M Shift kit follow its instructions you should be fine..

What is the question??

You don't adjust the lever, adjust the cable connected to it at the end of the cable.

you will need a new flasher for the turn signals it is under the dash by the steering columm,sometimes it is also with the fuse pannel,turn on the flashers and listen for the noise to track it down

you have the solenoid on the fender, and this is the wire coming from the neutral safety switch ?

Check the master cylinder on the brake and see if there is a line connecting to the slave cylinder. otherwise it should be mounted on the firewall where the clutch comes through the firewall.

Are you sure that you need a replacement? Starters usually fail because of warn brushes. A quick worn-brush diagnostic that works 80%, is to tap starter with a hammer. Several raps - strong but not destructive - will cause the stater to work for a limited time. Brush replacement can be accomplished by most mechanically-inclined. If you must replace it, be sure to remove the grounding strap from the battery. It is the one with the black terminal - not red.

You either have a problem in the ignition switch or the starter selonide.

well what was told is that my1984 eagle stationwagon, that if the 4x4 does not engage it is due to vacuum lines from the motor and the trany. these lines dry out and crack and vibration causes them to crack and the tight spots there in does not let you see or fix them to easy.

well you have several options you can go to a dealship and have them copy the diagram for you(i do this all the time) or you can purchase a repair manual at Napa or Oreilly's for around 20 bucks. it has diagrams and schematics in it. it also has alot of instructions in it so you can do repairs yourself. By the way i'm surprised that the mechanic doesn't have these diagrams himself. I was wandering why it won't start after you changed the plugs and wires could it be that maybe the firing order is wrong. i've done that myself a time or 2. double check the the plug wires to make sure they are in the right spot. if the problem is it won't crank. chances are you have a loose ground. please rate this..thanks

look on the intake manifold its usually stamped there, or go to the library and look in a Chilton"s auto manual it'll be in there,is your timing chain still ok??? it hasn't jumped,which would mess up timing...some chains were a hard nylon gear in those years and can wear out and the chain can jump and throw timing off too

mr oldschool please visit library sec 629 n view all the service manuals

you need to put a chevy alternator with a built in regulator on it.
You need a 3 wire alternator. Two wires go to the battery and one wire goes to anything connected to the ignition switch.
