Engine Type:
Inline 4-Cylinder / Inline 6-Cylinder (depending on specific CJ-6 configuration for 1966)
Displacement:
Commonly 225 cu in (3.7L) Dauntless V6, also possible 230 cu in (3.8L) Tornado inline-six, or earlier 4-cylinder options.
Horsepower Approx:
Varies by engine; Dauntless V6 ~140-155 hp, Tornado I6 ~140 hp
Torque Approx:
Varies by engine; Dauntless V6 ~200-220 lb-ft, Tornado I6 ~210-220 lb-ft
Fuel Delivery:
Carbureted (e.g., single-barrel or two-barrel carburetor)
Engine Options 1966:
Likely Dauntless V6 (232 cid) and possibly earlier Tornado I6 (230 cid) or F-head 4-cyl. for earlier CJ-6 models, with the V6 being most prevalent for 1966.
Wheelbase:
104 inches (approximate)
Length:
150-160 inches (approximate, including bumpers)
Width:
60-65 inches (approximate, excluding mirrors)
Height:
65-70 inches (approximate, to top of windshield frame)
Cargo Volume:
Significant due to longer wheelbase compared to CJ-5, though specific figures are not readily available for this era.
Curb Weight:
Approx. 2700-3000 lbs (depending on configuration)
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating:
Typically around 4,500 - 5,000 lbs, consult specific vehicle VIN.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 3,000 miles or 3 months, or more frequently under severe use (consult manual for exact spec).
Tune Up Interval:
Recommended periodically, often tied to mileage or annual inspection.
Engine Oil Viscosity:
Likely SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40, depending on climate and specific engine. Consult manual for precise recommendation.

Brake Fluid:
DOT 3 hydraulic brake fluid.
Common Wear Items:
Suspension bushings, universal joints, clutch components, carburetor wear, oil leaks.
Electrical Quirks:
Older wiring can be brittle; intermittent connections are common.
Body Rust:
Prone to rust, especially in common areas like floor pans, rocker panels, and wheel wells. Thorough inspection and treatment are crucial.
Jeep Origins:
Roots in World War II military vehicles, establishing a reputation for ruggedness and off-road capability.
Cj Series:
CJ-6 evolved from earlier CJ models (CJ-3B, CJ-5), featuring a longer wheelbase to offer greater utility and passenger space.
Cj Line Designation:
CJ stands for 'Civilian Jeep'.
