Post a pic of the one you got pete!

Did this end up happening? I had totally forgotten about his..

I actually had a similar issue with my tach that you have. Tried a few with similar results. I ended up changing one of the chips on the circut board and it started working properly. It's the white chip you can see in one of your photos. I had no idea how or if I could find one new so I ended up pulling a tach from a fiero that actually had a similar configuration and pulled the chip off it and soldered it onto mine.

I'm also doing a first gen firebird build! Mines a 69 though. As far as I know the firebird never had a v6? I6 or v8. Either way nice car!

I believe the s10s of that Era were this. I could be wrong but I don't think so

That is slightly true. Blocks and parts are still a plenty around me here on the east coast. Maybe not a 401, those are harder to find. There was a guy with a stash of 401 blocks out in New York but he wanted around 5k for everything.. which is still a lot of money for just motors.. And if I could help it, I'd definitely try to avoid boring out any engine I put in it. I just like the idea of putting an amc heart in an amc vehicle.

It might be an endeavor but I'd say slap that 360 in. When 2.8 dies I plan to put a an amc engine in mine. 304/360/ or the rare 401 if I can find one.

You will have to supply pictures so we know what center caps you are looking for. There are several 15" aluminum wheel options with different center caps.

Does that make this the earliest mj found on the forum now?

One of the guys on here works for dead jeep, he could probably tell you what they have. Uhh.. @strictlyxjs? I believe?

Another clean one down. Looked very solid.

Does Ray not have any at dead jeep?

Looked like she was a clean one too..

My buddies store has a very old set on the shelf if you have any interest..

Maybe later cherokees had top mounted fuel pumps but the ones up until 96 were similar as they mounted more to the side of the tank. You're right about the tank itself though but there's quite a few people who have put cherokee senders into mj tanks. The biggest problem most seem to discover is the xj sender is shorter and won't sit to the bottom of the tank qnd other times it's just the orientation of the metal lines for the sender need tweaking. So there is a possibility that there could be a cherokee sender in there.

I didn't see the radiator so good catch lol Still no overflow tank though.

The Coolant overflow/pressure tank

Well that is good news! But until then it will still sadly be a struggle for some

I don't know about repairing that connector but MTS makes new sending units for our truck. Providing yours is not a 91 or 92 that is

Yikes, the rear window market is about to get pricey. I was lucky and found someone with a cr Lawrence 3 pane slider that I have tucked away. Guess I won't sell it after all lol

I think crown or omix Ada might be the only ones that make them. https://www.quadratec.com/p/crown-automotive/front-door-check-arm-assembly-jeep-cherokee-xj?gclid=Cj0KCQjw8_qRBhCXARIsAE2AtRYo3awFwK1jbzO8Rt-hX5jWNfsuX3Xb_gX0VXUBKKEt1cpxClkjqXsaAqqiEALw_wcB Should be able to find the bracket and pin on there as well

I wouldn't say more than $500. And then you can part it out and get some money back when you have pulled all you need

True I didn't really think about that. I was thinking the other way around haha

The 88 cherokee harness will work just fine for the comanche, providing they are both the same trans type. Auto or manual. As for the 86 I don't see anything out of the ordinary as far as wiring and such goes. There are some added wires but everything else looks pretty good. What's wrong with the carb on it?

I wouldn't say q tailgate is q necessity in repairing these trucks. It's nice to have but not really needed per say. As for tail lights if you have the housings key parts makes lenses to glue onto the housings to restore them. Floors are fairly easy and cherokee floor panels will work with very minor tweaking. The carb for the 2.8 is easy as it's just a verajet 2 carb. i may have one in my garage. Check out kody Kilmer, he will have all the other pieces you need for the 88. Or post up a wanted post and someone elseqy have things on here. All in all they don't sound like hard projects. Id keep them seperate and fix them both up. I can also get you photos of the 86 2.8 engine bay as mine is an 86 2.8 as well. Whatever photos you may need.
