What I read, but not sure if you meant to say it that way so forgive me if I suggest somthing you are well aware of. Set you timing to 6 to 8 BTDC unless you know it is supposed to be different because I don't have your specs in front of me. Then adjust your Idle speed and re-check your timing...

RM's had a Dana 44. That option was not available on the X. But I would tend to go with the VIN if you have used more than 1 decoder to check. The PO could have liked the emblem. I always wanted a trail rated badge for my 89 Cherokee,

What do you have the timing set to?

Boy oh boy oh boy. I gots goodies. Starter solenoid and the Howell TBI kit. Installed the Solenoid and no fires started up and when turning over I have spark. Jeep Prep underway. But I'm done for the night. Attached the intake adapter and sealed up the bolt holes used to secure the plate to the...

Just going through that myself. Some my be able to tell by the numbers but I can't. I'll give you a place to start though. If you happen to have one of those thermometers that you point a laser at what you are measuring go dig it out. If you don't have one they are not that bad in cost. They are...

Oh its nothing really. Hardly limping at all this morning. Wasn't even working on the jeep when it happened. So if I need a break from something its general maintenance and upkeep of the house. That stuff can wait.

No parts today but its just as well. Knocked a piece of steel angle iron, Something I keep for just in case, and it whacked my foot through my Tennis shoe pretty hard. Think I broke a toe. Didn't sleep t all last night it hurt so bad. And could not take any time off of work. Running on too much...

Well I have to write an appeal letter to the Insurance company now so there is now going to be a delay in the procedure. Its ok I have time for the install now but I sure want to get it over with. If I left the wiring the way it was if I ever needed to do something I would go right through this...

Yep the dura spark is all new, correct for what I need and installed. Too bad I don't get to check it out for being wired correctly. It seems I all ways wind up with 2 or 3 new systems to op check at the same time' Yep the fuse panel was a birds nest of add ins to get power to who knows what. I...

Got the wiring straightened out a bit Greg. They had the big gage wire supplying juice to the back up lights and the small wire going to the ignition system. That's crazy!!! Got all the connections ready for the 4 post solenoid. Wont be able to test it till after the FI is installed. Wish I...

Got everything figured out. It helps if I communicate what needs to happen. Then I see what needs to be done. Thanks

I did the walking on it and when it dropped in t the spot the old one was in it would not drop down all the way into the oil pump spot. When it dropped in I was able to rotate the distributer so the rotor lined up with the #1 mark. I think I'm good like steady.foot said. If not I can always try...

Greg I believe I just about have this thing whipped. that diagram you supplied slowly sunk in. Nee to fix the butcher job the engine swappers did and come Monday I'll have my 4 post solenoid and all I need is my exhaust manifold and the FI kit.

Well this is what I have figured out. The big red/white wire is 12Vdc in run and 0Vdc in start. this is the one going to the transmission. The small red wire is the same. Small red going to starting system. so I will run the small wire to the small wire in the transmission. And the big red wht...

First of all I would like to thank greg92jeepXJ, Policemonkey161 and 69jeepcj for the help they have given and given and given on getting the Fuel injection and TFI install going. Little history. 81 jeep 4 cylinder had the engine ripped out and a 77 258 installed. Everything for the 81...

Terry, I had an 89 Cherokee that was leaking at the rear main. I dropped the oil pan and the bracket around the rear of the crank. I then used a small hammer so I WOULD NOT HIT TOO HARD and a pin punch that I thought was the right size and tapped the old seal till it started to slip out the...

Is there ballast resistor behind the dash. I se references to it and there is not one in the engine bay

My jeep is a mix match of 77 and 81 components. I am removing the Prestolite distributer and installing the Dura spark. I have the engine at TDC and marked where the prestolite dist was pointing to the #1 spot. The Dura spark will not line up in the same spot. However I can stab it in and align...

Thanks Greg, everything you sent my way has been a huge help. I think I have it licked now. Just need the new 4 post solenoid. Every schematic I have seen proves I need one. I had a New solenoid I used on a ford truck rehab a while back. I accepted the wrong part. NAPA was closed so I didn't...

That's closer than the one I posted. The only thing different is the color wire going to the coil off the 4 wire plug and that is probably because I have the ford harness. Mine does not show the wire to the electric choke. Very close indeed. I have to run in to town to pick up the distributer...
