Check the coil.
I have a 1976 CJ5 with a 304 V8. It has a 3 speed transmission and stock axles. But I'm running 36'' tires. And i get around 9 mile to the gallon.
Yes. Everything from the doors ---> forward was the same in the CJ5, CJ6, CJ7 and CJ8. The CJ7 is 2" longer than the CJ5 to allow for the optional automatic transmission, so the frame and body were 2" longer. The CJ6 and CJ8 were 10" longer in the back.
Jacks or jackstands should be placed under the frame.
