  1. :agree: But, OP, this really isn't the best forum for you to get experienced answers for your questions. I know of at least three members over on the stroker forum who have built carbed I6 stroker engines (mixed results), and Hesco is currently building a 284 c.i. Jeep I6 stroker with Hilborn injection for a drag racing customer in TN (Alkydiggers Fuel Injection Service in Nashville) who is a Hilborn retailer. His name is Mike Chilando; might be a good guy for you to contact since he's well into doing an option you might consider, mechanical fuel injection. http://www.hesco.us/customergallery.asp?action=form&formID=1725&recordID=459131
  2. Good luck finding that size.
  3. When I first got my truck, it would overheat going up long grades maybe 1/4 mile long. On level ground it would run fine. Went through the typical cooling system replacements; radiator, water pump, tranny cooler, etc. with no changes. I had installed a new header and brought it to my friend's muffler for a dual exhaust install. When he cut the pipe off the front of the cat, you could look into it and see a black, gummy tar-like substance covering the cat honeycomb. I don't see how it ran at all. Finished up the exhaust, replaced the cat with a resonator, no more overheating and it ran great. I've never seen a procedure for flow-testing an exhaust system in the FSM. :dunno: Does your truck get hot climbing up long grades? I'd bring it to a muffler shop, have them cut off the cat inlet pipe, and take a peek inside. Replace the cat if there is any doubt. EDIT: Another thought: were any modifications made to the engine during the rebuild? Like an HO head on your Renix block causing exhaust port blockage?
  4. Try installing a regulation Mopar 195* stat from the dealership or elsewhere for a few $$ more than the aftermarketeers stuff. They work as advertised maintaining the advertised operating temp.
  5. Agree with that. Assume the rest was directed to someone else.
  6. Very much looking forward to your results Larry. I love sidedraft Webers as an a great bolt-on upgrade to stock carbs like the SUs and Zeniths, but have no experience as to them replacing a decent EFI system, especially on a built stroker. Go for it mate.
  7. Who knows where they are made. But I did just order Oceanic's 194 LEDs from Amazon. What I have noticed in the past with the cheaper versions of these is that the leads that wrap around the glass base are too thin to make good contact with the socket pins. We'll see............
  8. You're on the wrong forum OP. And what "internals" are you considering? http://www.jeepstrokers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4164&hilit=weber+carbs
  9. Welcome. And yes, the ZJ tie rod will work. Also the drag link and the track bar.
  10. The part number for the 88 pedal is 53005315. I've sent you a PM where that part is available. 53005315 ACCELERATOR PEDAL LINK U53005185 1987-90 JEEP 1 634 15.00
  11. I grew up next to Canada in upstate VT and realized very early on that I didn't like cold weather. My work has taken me to the Antarctica when Operation Deep Freeze was managed by the Navy and Ft. Greely in AK for extended duty. I hated those places in the winters. I much prefer living somewhere in the tropics year round. Living in cold places is not for me, but I salute those who do and like it.
  12. Heat pumps are useless up north, and useless when the weather gets crazy cold for down here. They lose their efficiency at around 35*. It hit 3* here last night, the lowest on record since 1912. Rather than risking a compressor freeze-up, I switched the systems over to emergency heat. This disables the compressors, turns on resistive heat strips, and uses the inside air handler inside the house to circulate the heat. It also sends your electric bill into orbit. Tomorrow it'll be back up in the 40s, so back to normal ops.
  13. Bama teams (or other SEC teams) can't win them all. Yep, congrats to FSU.
  14. 9 sec. now. Why did he run it out?? :hmm:
  15. Worried now............
  16. No worries now. I will never why coaches build up a lead in the first half, then try to sit on it in the second half. It seldom works.....
  17. You're right. Don't see it too much down here. Good time to practice your power slides. :cheers:
  18. Really?
  19. Hint: Al Capp
  20. That it has. So far the Semiholes are getting schooled.
  21. Anyone remember this guy? :yes:
  22. Since the Tide didn't make it; ROLL WAR EAGLE!
  23. NOTE: There may be other LED equivalent replacement bulbs for some applications; this list is not all-inclusive.
