how do know if the bad fuel pump isn't pumping fuel into the crankcase?

Simple. Pull the dipstick out and light it on fire. If it flashes quick then burns, there's gas in the oil. If it just burns, it's just oil.

Alan, it sounds like you are well on your way! Is Wendell a friend of yours or just a shop you found nearby? Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing the pics of the new CJ!!

Windell is the mechanic in Malone. He's the only mechanic in this town except for the tire changers up at the co-op. He's worked on all our vehicles (what I don't do myself) since we moved here with the exception of oil changes. It's easier to do it myself at home (on my car) or take it to a quickie lube (wife's truck). His shop is about 3 blocks from our house. If we're stuck at home with a no-start situation, he comes by with a garden tractor and pulls us over to the shop.

It's going to look just like the 351M except for deck height, the lack of the AC being in there, and the different carb. I put the 351M valve covers on it because I don't like chrome valve covers, and the same accessories (PS, alt, smog pump) went right on, too. The driver exhaust manifold is swapped over as well. If I can space the carb/air cleaner up I can even put the 351M air cleaner back on. But I want one of the flatter ones. It's the go-pedal performance that will be the big change and I'll definitely shoot some video and get it up on YouTube to post links here.
