Condition, condition, condition.

If it was me looking at a Willys CJ 4-cyl flathead and there were a couple available, I'd take the one with the most parts attached. Everything you have to buy individually will cost more than you expect. Even a dubious carb is a core you don't have to buy. Secondly, take a spark plug wrench and a small flashlight. See what the top of the cylinder looks like. The other thing would be to look for caked mud from sitting on the dirt too long. If the motor is for an M38, most of the same parts cross over, but the electronics are strictly USGI and 24v.
