One thing I plan on doing is cracking the fuel line up top and give a healthy shot of fresh non-corn gas and see if it will prime and run.

Good strategy. I bet you have to replace the fuel pump in the end though.

I got the "change oil" light - so tomorrow I'll do that minor job. Found out the best recommended for my year Jeep is 5.7 Liters of 5W20 (synthetic), and the filter should be Royal Purple, MOPAR, or K&N Engineering. If Autozone or NAPA doesn't have those, I'll go with a Purlator.

Also read, on these later model Jeeps, to turn off the "Change Oil" message words on the dash, turn the key on, bring gas to the floor 3 full times, turn key off.

On the earlier model Jeeps, you don't have to worry about this nonsense!

Ever check into Baldwin filters?

I have a good feeling you are right. If it is dead, I’m going to pick up an electric conversion kit in stock at O’Riely’s.

The original replacement is $100 and the electric kit is $70 or so.

A few people I’ve read of went electric on their vintage models. If it works for me and I can ditch the mechanical, suits me.
