Determine if it;s a 20 first, an AMC 20 would have a perfectly round cover,
a Dana 44 would be more angular. 1976 would be either but more likely a 20.

Re: 76 CJ5
I saw a nice description somewhere that makes it easy to remember.... the
diff cover looks just like the helmet my grandfather wore in the First War
and some of our fathers wore in the Second War.

Re: 76 CJ5
The Painless harness that I put into my 1979 CJ5 resto was *mostly*
painless. The harnesses join at the firewall like the factory ones did,
and all the ends are tagged and labled. The bugs were in the alternator
section -- since they make a "universal" harness to cover a wide range
of model years and because Jeep changed suppliers so often there's a bit
of hand work and puzzling to be done around the alternator. The best
advice I can give is to read the entire Painless manual before starting
anything, especially the Erratum section at the back because there were
errors in the body of the manual.
Oh, and `76 was the first year for the fully boxed frame. Be sure you
look carefully at the tail ends of the frame rails -- to see if they are
still there.
