That would be good to see. Thanks.

I'll report back with the voltage results.

I drilled the upper hole only. Are you saying that CPS touching flywheel makes a substantial noise? In your case did it quiet down pretty quickly or did it continue? I have not yet checked the CPS voltage. Will this weekend. If voltage checks out would you say everything should be good-good?

I did the "open-the-mounting-hole" and the "advance mod" on a new NAPA CPS. After I replaced it and started the engine I heard a not-so-loud buzzing sound for about 10 seconds then the noise faded away. Engine ran fine. I was thinking perhaps there was slight contact between the CPS and flywheel. I had also put some duct tape on the plastic cover that the CPS fits thru to keep things from falling thru so maybe a piece of that got shoved thru the hole during installation and was rubbing the flywheel. As a side note, replacing the CPS on a stock '89 MJ 4.0 with BA10/5 is a pain in the tuckus! Detaching the front driveshaft from the front diff and swing it out of the way gave me some additional elbow room. When I did the advance mod the plastic housing developed a faint hairline crack. I encased the plastic in epoxy it before installation. Hope it doesn't cause future problems.

What is the factory air gap between the CPS and the flywheel on an '89 4.0 w/ BA10/5? Thank you.

Thanks. I will check the interior of the doors. If there is no stiffener I'll whip something up.

I would like to replace the small stock side mirrors on my 89 MJ Pioneer with the larger door mount mirrors that were available as a factory option. Unable to find factory mirrors I found these that look somewhat close: http://www.amazon.com/CIPA-41100-Universal-Replacement-Mirror/dp/B00029WSXQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1388886533&sr=8-1&keywords=cipa+41100#productDetails Has anyone tried these? I beleve I will need to fab interior mounting plates to stiffen the door skin where the mirrors are mounted. Thanks for any help.

Thanks. I'll start looking for an access opening.

Hi Everyone - I tried to remove the tranny skidplate on my '89 Pioneer. I thought I had the bolt free but it spins ... and spins ... and spins. Is this bolt attached to some kind of weld nut inside the frame that has broken loose? Any suggestions? Thanks.
