They didn’t get any better in 1976. Had a ‘76 Levi Renegade CJ-7 with a 304 140hp and a 3-speed tranny. At 55 mph is was revving around 3,500 rpm.
Watered down 70s V8s, so sad.
I have acquired a rebuilt in the past couple of years, a 304 that have been beefed up some.
It spun over the last time I tried but no ignition. The motor was out of the jeep it came in. I tried a few variations on jumper wires just to get something. Even a misfire.
Probably needs that external control module.
