  1. Yep. Just saying something that isn't true.........and possibly sending an unsuspecting person on a wild goose chase. Pretty irresponsible to do that if you ask me. It's always been my impression that we're supposed to help and guide people here on CC. Not mislead them.
  2. Absolutely not true.
  3. Here's a link for you. Tried and proven. http://cruiser54.com/?p=100
  4. Ditch all that crap per Pete's suggestion.
  5. Actually, it is not BS. It's been proven time and time again. And each time someone asks, they need answers. They might not have seen this info before.
  6. No. They're the same 91 to 96. Here's where you many need to grind. No big deal.
  7. My buddy said when he drove his, his testosterone level dropped significantly....JK.
  8. I've used those ebay ones with the bellows on them. If your exh man isn't cracked, leave it and have a new downpipe made. If the exh man is bad, get one for a 92. Have an O2 sensor bung welded into it. Then have a muffler shop make the downpipe for you to match the header to the exhaust.
  9. Tip 5 could diagnose the problem......
  10. That system is extremely sensitive if the ground from the engine to firewall is wonky. Remove each end, scrape paint to bare metal and reattach.
  11. Do Tips 1 through 5 at www.cruiser54.com before anything else.
  12. Because the resistance in the factory wiring harness was too high. Think C101 here.... So, the CPS bypass kit was invented. CPS wires directly to ECU. I think the bulletin was 18-58-88.........
  13. That was a factory bypass. First off, eliminate all crimped connections and solder and shrink tube them.
  14. My 2 cents: Total waste of time and money for little to no gain.. . Ever see the dyno results for the intake swap? Bore the Renix throttle body to 60mm. http://www.strokedjeep.com/renix t-body.html Do the CPS advance mod. http://cruiser54.com/?p=127 Eliminate the "D" crush in the downpipe. Make sure your distributor is indexed. http://cruiser54.com/?p=68 Do the valve cover mod. http://cruiser54.com/?p=131 A little insight on Renix versus HO: HO myth buster Renix in 90 made 182 HP. HO in 91 made 190 HP. That's 8 HP difference. HO only made more HP than Renix at higher RPMs and not a bit more torque. HO had a 58 mm throttle body versus a 52 mm throttle body on a Renix. That’s 20% more air available through the HO throttle body. The HO also had a better design header. See where I'm going with this? It’s only a 4% horsepower increase….. The whole 8HP was not mostly from the head, but from the bigger TB and better exhaust manifold. Put a 60mm TB from www.strokedjeep.com on your present manifold using the Renix head, eliminate the "crush" in your headpipe with proper re-routing, and go for it. HO stands for Highly Overrated. __________________

  16. Brakes: I've seen drum and disc brakes, drums and discs break, but never drum or disc breaks. BTW, only one person "understood" the OP's predicament and responded.........
  17. Up and running yesterday. Nice little ride. Cold though!!!
  18. I wouldn't be afraid of a used IAC.
  19. I have my own used parts emporium......
  20. Motorad does make the factory stats and they're great. But, they don't sell one like it in the aftermarket. Dealer only.
  21. Before you do the work, see if both heater hoses are the same temp at the firewall. Also, there is a blend air door that controls cabin heat. Make sure it's opening.
  22. The Moroso is aluminum. The junkyard necks are plastic and are also failure prone. Could work for a while.
  23. It's a 1978 series 2 Spider. Got tired of fighting clogging idle circuit in front carb. Time to get some carb dip....
  24. Drove it Christmas eve. It has some crap getting into the idle circuit on the front carb. Pulls strong to 6500 RPM. Running straight header at the moment.
