Yes, looks like it might be painted black unlike this one.

What's with the rear flare? Something missing?

Is that... House gutter drains? :rotf: Yes, it's gutter, but it's the expensive heavy duty vinyl stuff. And notice the cone filter that keeps birds, bugs, and squirrels out. :rotfl2:

Dare to be different. I love it too. :cheers:

Ignition coil.

I know you probably answered this previously somewhere, but did you ever consider going to MPI?

True, but I don't believe it until I peek inside. You never know what previous owners have done.

Yes, same p/n.

When you get a chance, please measure the actual "at rest" distance between the upper and lower shock mounting pins. Assume you plan on using the stock mounting pin setup?

You have any lift Bo? I have some p/n's for various OME shocks that fit well on the rear MJ if you want. Those 5100 Bilsteins ride too hard for me.

Almost as bad as when our stupid cat took a dump in the basement right next to it's cat box. I tried to dropkick it, missed and broke four toes on the concrete wall. Damn, that hurt for weeks. :dunce:

I come from a family of sailors! I thought I'de break the line! [emoji6] It's all good. My best wishes to you. :thumbsup:

Ochs, you should have joined the Navy shipmate. :yes:

Just kidding Jeff-man. There's really just two kinds of beer. Hot and cold. :cheers:

Yep, my mistake. I was off by a year.

Fab skills. 1994 was the seat change year. 1993 and below seats will bolt directly to the MJ brackets, 1994 and will not. But you probably already knew that. Maybe someone has done it and will chime in.

Exacerly. Bore it out a little, mild cam, roller rockers, maximize the suck and blow sides with modded intake and exhaust systems, then dyno balance it all out and fine tune to correct AFR and fuel pressure. Hard to improve the ignition system - it's already pretty good. Gotta do it all to make a significant difference.

The 81-86 parts manual only shows the AMC 20 axle was available only for the 86 MJs, not for the XJs of that era. The big axle for the XJs was the Dana 44. Or is the parts manual wrong?

If you can grab it for $300 or less - snag it. Do you know what ratio it has now?

Any engine modification claim means nothing unless it's dynoed before and after. First things I did after the stroker install was upgrade the exhaust system and install a 62mm throttle body. Mike Leach headers and full 2.5" exhaust w. no cat. Net result was a ~20% overall increase in peak torque and HP numbers, although at 500 RPM higher peak points. But I suspect all the above is probably true on a N/A engine; the larger exhaust diameter could hurt performance. But again, w/o dyno proof, I'm skeptical.

^^ Agree. The D35 holds 3.5 pints using the stock cover.
