I don't really quite know where to put this idea. It's a neat concept that I think would go really well with a black Comanche with gold pioneer stripes. Similar to the silver stripes but the gold idea came from the one Comanche that jdog snagged this from.

Well the vacuum lines on top of the valve cover looks wrong. 86's are a different animal but one is supposed to go to the air box and the other goes to the throttle body. Everyone will tell you to check your manifold bolts as well.

Yeah the parts catalogue showed both MJ and Durango.

Yeah, those a looking a little caked. Should be quick clean or replace. But it seems they still did their job as there was oil on your rockers.

While we are at it we should demand legacy part support for our trucks.

Thanks guys! Really proud of how that one turned out. Everything is coming together. Snagged a few more pieces from that engine and restored them, all pieces are finished. The cooling system inside of that other motor is ridiculously clean but the radiator was the only thing to show signs of calcium build up. Still cleaning that damn thing. Now I just need to go buy Jeepairs kit when I get more money. Maybe might take next weekend and tear out the dash and install everything on the inside.

Damn. Well they are accessories after all.

Will do. It looks like the Jeepair kit has a compressor with the proper fittings for R134a so I won't need much from this compressor I have now. I guess I could go to AMC salvage and literally take what ever evap is still sitting in their Jeeps as spares. And there is a lot of them still sitting with the air boxes intact.

Awesome! I appreciate the info guys. Definitely get the kit from Jeepair and not worry about these weird fittings on the compressor. Condenser is NOS so chances are Chrysler made it for R134a specs. I'll keep this topic open on my computer until I complete this project. Yes the fittings have Schrader valves which is why I was confused. Now another question, should I take a gamble on the factory evap or buy the one from Jeepair? I only ask because of the crap shoot that the replacements are not built in a factory OEM manner, meaning they are missing the thermostat hole.

I swear, each day passes and I get more stressed over this damn set up. (Note to self, don't be a HVAC tech) As I'm gathering parts and acquiring as much info I can, the 2.5L seems to be buried in a sea of 4.0's, I have a few questions. Currently everything is in good shape, hoses are filthy on the outside but clean internally as well as evap. Parts that will be replaced are the condenser, expansion valve, dryer, compressor and O-rings. Currently have new expansion valve and condenser. Planning on buying Jeep air's retro fit kit, any opinions on this? Any former dealership or current dealership guys know of an official MoPar R12-R134a conversion kits with manuals to have existed back then? What the heck are these fittings?: This looks like a conversion as these don't match any R12 fittings from the AMC era Once I have this puzzle all together, how many pounds of R134 go into the system(as far as how much the 2.5L system holds)? Planning on having my work assist me with the charging but most of the techs have told me to have conversion info to provide to them before they charge it.(or at least a label showing it has been converted, more so added to the truck.) Ultimately it seems like I need to have all the fittings tight and leak free with replaced O-rings once it is all installed. I have zero experience with AC, so finding leaks and using manifolds and reading them is like reading hieroglyphs to me. All these parts came from an 87 MJ or XJ Renix jeep.

I don't know. That’s not an easy thing to call on. Just most trucks prior to 89 have some info missing on them and are not as detailed as post 89. It’s the Chrysler years that have the most detailed build sheets. But it seems like a well optioned truck.

You’re welcome. She’s a well optioned truck for being a California truck

In the crate this cover had seen better years. I think this one turned out damn good! Silver stripes painted and taped off. Final product. Pictures don’t do justice. More to come!

Looks like a good part out or a future GM 3.5L swap and just beat it down.

Here Pete. This one came into the shop today at work. It’s a 3.7L but still neat. Now I’m convinced to own one of these things.

Will do.

The plate or the plate and lighter together?

Well “plug in” can be used here. But there’s couple of us that have access to providing build dates and sheets from Chrysler for those who want to know what our trucks left the factory with. I am one of them....I’m currently away from my computer so I can’t quite get you your info on your truck at the moment. Damn Pete beat me to it

I highly agree there. I thought they are well worth what I paid. Granted I’m glad they are cut like the original mats so I’ll take it. Course I’m sure we all would love for the original mats to be produced again....and the windshield guy managed to get them covered in dirt after I installed them that day.
