Naw, it's probably designed in Sweden but made in China like everything else is......... :D

No, it's a Ikea s/s soap dish. :D BUT you have given me a good idea Wahoo-man. :cheers:

The 99 and early 91-92 fuel pump pressure ratings are slightly different, but the rail regulator should handle it w. no problems. It's commonly done on stroker engine applications in different models. Worst case is you may need an adj. MAP to even the A/F ratio under WOT, but that's no biggie.

Me three. :cheers:

Don't mind at all. :cheers: Oh, and like your avatar.

You'll want the door panels from a 4-door. The 2-door panels are too big unless you have a 2-door XJ? :brows:

They came with power, manual, and/or the "rocking chair" feature. Yes you can mount the seats on your existing brackets. I know the seat bottoms are interchangible, so I would ASSume the 2-door seat backs will swap out too. My seats are from a 2-door Laredo XJ mounted on MJ manual brackets w. the Laredo door panels.

I've had the bench, then basic buckets, and now the Laredo big bolster buckets. And that's the order of comfortable-ness. Hands down, the Laredo buckets are the best for back and lateral support. The covers can be removed fairly easily for cleaning in the washing machine.

Updated my previous post with pictures. Hope they help :D Many thanks for posting the pics. Dayem shame Mopar didn't see fit to design an HO full gauge cluster for the column shift models. Good job! :cheers:

You don't switch the colored wire, that stays on the pot slider and goes to the gauge. You only switch the the black ground wire from one leg of the pot to the other unused leg. The pump will still grounded by the black wire. Wish I had a sender to do a bench test, but I'm certain it will work.

Cool! I missed that thread. :cheers:

There's a ton of them on Ebay. Any pre-airbag GM stalk will work. HERE'S an example. They are still available at the dealership too for not a lot more than that. Best I could find at the dealer w. intermittent wipers and cruise was about $58; but that was before I knew you Taz. :D

I just looked at my FSM again and agree with Jeff; there is only one lead coming off the slider of the sender potentiometer that goes to the fuel gauge. The sender potentiometer, like all pots, has two legs and a slider. The slider output goes to the gauge, one leg is tied to ground, and the other leg has no connection. The slider picks off a variable resistance as the float moces up and down and the fuel gauge follows based on the resustance it sees. To reverse polarity, you would have to remove the black ground wire from the sender pot leg and reconnect it to the other empty leg of the pot. This would reverse the resistance readings (high resistance for FULL; low resistance for EMPTY) as the float goes up and down and the gauge would move in the correct direction. Since I don't have a complete sender laying around, can someone look at the sender pot and see if reconnection of the black ground wire to the other end of the pot is even possible? If it is, this would work for sure. But don't know how accurate it would be. :D

Here's a thread on the HiCountry brackets Wade. I was a test pig during their development. :D They incorporated a lot of changes recommended by the CC members. http://www.comancheclub.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5241&hilit=tow+hooks&start=15

Good info HERE There are many writeups over on NAXJA on Renix alternator upgrades, take a look. :D

Yes, Defense. AO = Area of Operations. :D Gov work has been very good to me, mucho travel, great and not so great assignments (Korea and Nam come to mind), but never a regret. With the economy as it is and seeing no quick relief soon, you for sure have the right idea to get your foot in the door and carry on from there. Sounds like your dad is cool and is looking out for you. Both my daughters are thinking the same way as they are in college now under ROTC scholarships. Enjoy it - you're off to a great start. :cheers:

Got that right. :D Spent most of my life in gov DoD service as both military and Fed GS civilian, but never got a chance to visit your AO. Most of my duty was further west (Marshall Islands, Guam, and beyond) but HI was my R&R place. Enjoy, UB in a great location. :cheers:

No, I was not correcting you; you're exactly right. I haven't bench tested how much the difference in the sender pot's resistance would affect the accuracy of the gauge, just theory guessing if polarity was reversed at the sender connection above the tank. You have the ideal platform to do a real world test; maybe the accuracy of the fuel gauge might not as bad as I think? :cheers: BTW, where you at in HI? Hono?

Aye, picking up drunk squids. Must have pulled SP duty in port. Been there done that from both sides; the picker-upper and the pikee. :beerhead: But never in Norway or in a Sprinter. :D

The HOs fuel gauges will read full at 5 ohms and empty at 105 ohms, so even if you reversed polarity at the sender the gauge will be still very inaccurate, but at least it will be moving in the correct direction. :D

WOW! I'm very impressed with your outstanding work and your perseverance. :cheers: I'll bet the little guy you close the series of your pics is big enough to look directly into the windshield and give you some quality help now. :cheers:

The alternator on your 88 is a Delco CS-130, most likely the 75A variety. There are several things you can do. 1. The cheapest way out is a direct swap with a higher output Delco CS-130 alt; these are 105A. GM made hundreds of thousands on these alternators from 1986 to 1996 for their cars and pickups. The cost of a Delco CS-130 alternator at the junkyard should be $10.00 to $15.00. Direct bolt-in. 2. Have your alt rebuilt by a reputable shop. They can be rebuild up to 190A, but more expensive than the Chev. alt. 3. Swap out your Delco alt brackets for the HO alt brackets and add the 136A Nippon Denso alt. That's the one I have on my 91. But you will also have to add an external voltage regulator, because the HO ND alts are regulated by the ECU.

The indicator (made by Ididit) window is fastened to the fixed upper column housing and the pointer is fixed to the moveable middle column housing. This indicator is for a GM 3-speed tranny, but it lines up perfectly with the AW4 shift points. Not illuminated though so I'm working on a small LED to embed within the movable pointer.
