Hard to find Renix parts
cruiser54 replied to cruiser54's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
I know....LOL. But what are they? I don't care about the waggy grille parts and taillamps and that stuff. Renix parts. What can't we get anymore? -
There seems to be some mix-up lately with the NTK sensors. I don't know if they are mis-boxed or what.
-
Fuel injection related only. What CAN'T we get? Or, are we getting fake news regarding availability? NAXJA hit a dead end in the link below. http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1136697

And not just because I'm in one...... http://omgyoutube.net/channel/UCBktCe0E1v6DPWggdIkQnfw

An FYI, at the dealership we replaced plugs, wires, cap and rotor every 30,000 miles. Wires were only specified every 60,000 but we found they didn't make it that long.

NEVER forget AMC!!! Ever see the photos I took at an AMC owner's convention in Sedona, Arizona? https://imgur.com/a/spPds -
Pulling my hair out over vibration/rattle!
cruiser54 replied to NC Tom's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
I would always recommend doing the tC bolts as a precaution anyway. It's quite common. Hell, it happened when they were new!!!! -
Alfa Romeo project progress
cruiser54 replied to cruiser54's topic in Member Projects: Other Cool Stuff
So, yesterday morning, I decide to do a bit of work on the carbs. I had all the spark plugs out for a reading. I removed the carb top for the rear carb and did the needed jetting. As I picked up the carb top to reinstall it, the brass float pivot pin slid out and went into #2 spark plug hole. Finally got it out last night using bubble gum to stick to it. Slurpee straw as a special tool. Thankfully I had my Hobo Freight bore scope that I never used. Only ever loaned it to friends....Used a shop vac to suck it out. We weren't sure it was out because we could only see the gum and the gum could have had the pin in it. Imagine our celebrating when we found the pin in the vacuum!!!! Fished the gum out with a piece of wire and she's up and running. So now its 4:30 AM and I've still gotta wash it. Luckily I have a heated garage as it's 41* outside now. The photo is of the piece of bubble gum with the float pin laying across it. -
New brake booster without new MC
cruiser54 replied to NC Tom's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Good time to upgrade both. -
You need to do the obvious fixes first. Vacuum harnesses for instance. and wiring repairs. No butt connectors!! You can just plug off the vacuum to the EGR for now. If it were hanging open, your idle would be horrible. Not to shift gears too far, backfiring under load can be a sign of a weak fuel pump.

02 sensor is reliant on the heat from it's internal heater, not engine temp. Yours should be switching about once a second. See if you have 12 volts or so at the red wire at the sensor and that the black wire has no resistance to ground.

I LISTEN to no Lame-stream media. They're all owned by globalist libtards. I READ news from alternative news sources only.

Rear Disc Brake Conversion
cruiser54 replied to Keyav8r's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
94 to 98 ZJ. Longer wheel studs. Get the longer mounting bolts for the caliper mount from the donor. Or, contact BigDavid on Cherokee Forum and he sends you the kit. -
91 HO or Renix 4.6? Getting mixed advice.
cruiser54 replied to Bonkers's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
I have the TransGo kit on my shelf...... -
Here's a link to a ton of stuff I made a few years back. Mostly Jeep parts and horseshoes. https://imgur.com/a/waI5G

91 HO or Renix 4.6? Getting mixed advice.
cruiser54 replied to Bonkers's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
I vote for option 1. But, I'll muddy the waters a bit. You could build the 91 into a stroker and put it in with Renix fuel injection. -
Can't get it to pass CA smog
cruiser54 replied to ratty's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
If it's an 88, the bad grounds and dirty C101 connector will cause one or more sensors to read incorrectly. Up to 4 of them actually. If he used an O2 sensor other than an NTK, that could be an issue also. http://cruiser54.com/?p=24 http://cruiser54.com/?p=44 http://cruiser54.com/?p=19 http://cruiser54.com/?p=35 -
91 HO or Renix 4.6? Getting mixed advice.
cruiser54 replied to Bonkers's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Yeah. I'm not seeing a ton of unavailable Renix stuff. Even in a thread on NAXJA, they're stumbling around trying to put a list of stuff together that they can't find. It ain't even a list yet. -

So, what parts are unavailable for Renix? -

cruiser54 replied to Bonkers's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Never hurts to search "poor man's stroker" either. -
The disc conversion is probably easier!! LOL. No tin foil hat required. I hate working on drum brakes.

cruiser54 replied to Bonkers's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
If you're looking for power, the HO swap will disappoint you. If you're gonna build an engine anyway, go stroker.
