Inherited 1980 Jeep in Brazil won’t start… anyone know what could be wrong?




Check the casting number on the engine block. That should tell you what engine it is. Not sure where it is on that engine, though.

What engine is that? It doesn’t seem like the 2.5L 4-cylinder that came in North American Jeeps.

Right? I wish I knew what engine that is.

@Kieran
It could be a Ford engine. The registration says Ford/Jeep 1980, but there aren’t many details. I looked up the VIN, and it doesn’t match anything. I’m really confused about this Jeep.

Looks awesome! Hope you can get that thing running soon.

Not sure about your problem, but that’s a really nice Jeep! What happens when you try to start it?
