Any 225 gurus out there?

I've got a 225 v-6 with a strange problem- anyone out there well-versed
with this motor and wants to offer advice?

Thanks,

John

What's the question?

There are two versions of that motor, and you must know which version you
have. One is actually a V6, the other is a V8 with 2 cylinders chopped off.
The first is called the 225 Even Fire, the other is the 225 Odd Fire.

You can tell which you have by looking at the distributor, there is space
for 8 plug wires on the Odd Fire motor, so there is a visible gap in two
locations where the plug wires are missing. The Even Fire motor uses a
distributor cap that has only 6 plug wires that are all evenly spaced.

google jeep commandos and search groups the dauntless v6 is common in those
and might lead you in a good direction

You should toss out the question, there are a some old farts on this
board that still know some things about the old beasts... ;-)

Is it the odd fire or the V6?

I had the fastest Civilian Jeep V6, Crower, Holley, Edelbrock, TRW
pop-ups, Hookers, Scheifer, ported, polished, and CC'd:

bigger Buicks and OLds of the time:

Wow ...now those are some fat tires. Out of curiousity, Bill ...did you by
chance know any of the High Rollers crew from (mostly) central Canada? They
went down to lots of areas in the US around the 70's-80's and competed in a
lot of mud-races (mostly running heavily modified CJ's).

Mud's not a big thing down here in Sunny Southern California, we
have to import our water. I was into eight mile sand drags, mostly a
spectator, other than a couple of places my Jeeps would pass tech in:

top fuel license, but I don't remember any Canadians in the sport:

Ah, ya ...they weren't sand-runners. However, in their mud-running ...from
what I hear they almost always won. A guy I work with and offroad with - his
dad won quite a few. They got so serious at one point they'd bring trailers
of complete "parts" Jeeps so they wouldn't be stuck without a part if one
broke during a run.

Sand is still the one thing I haven't really played in ...I'll have to try
it out this year. AFAIK there's only one decent sandpit here and it's like
60+km out of town ...god forbid I break down!
