89 MJ

Don’t worry, I’ll still be around here and none of the projects are going away. There just won’t be any updates on them for a while. Today, I am leaving WI to head out to The University of Arizona (in Tucson) for college. It’s going to be a change of scenery, but it should be fun. I’m going to have a hard time not scooping up rust free MJs too.

Glad to hear it, it doesn’t get lugged

I’m think I’ll probably replace it, it’s cheap enough that it’s not a big deal if it doesn’t solve the issue. I believe that it does, I’ll have to make sure though. I probably will. Considering everything else in our collection turns 2100 at 70, I consider 2700 at 70 pretty high

Thank you At this point, that’s where I am at too.

I do have a good, OEM shroud on it

Fan clutch was new with the radiator, hoses were new with the engine swap, block was flushed with the engine swap, and it was a new water pump when I got the engine. It seems to be getting plenty of airflow too.

Going to and from Kenosha, I noticed the temp gauge creeping up in my 89 4.0. I was turning about 2700 RPMs at 72ish mph (4.10 gears and 31s). The temp seemed to sit right at 220 in clean air and would creep up more (225-230) when following someone. All numbers verified with an invaded thermometer. I have an open cooling system with the Mishimoto radiator and a stock thermostat. The AC was not run at all and outside temps were between 75 and 85. The temp would get that high after about an hour of driving. What can I do to keep the temps at 210 or less? I would like to bring the truck to AZ with me at some point and don’t want to deal with overheating when I’m down there.

I do not have a repair manual, so no help here

The ACC reproduction ones seem pretty nice. I got mine from RockAuto

Sliced potatoes fried up, but still a little floppy, then dusted with Parmesan cheese.

I’ll get pics of the exhaust on mine later. It goes from the driver side, to the passenger side, and back to the driver side.

Following! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions on the car

I couldn’t ignore. Whoops

Fantastic pictures, thank you! It was great meeting you and your family too! Hopefully we can get together again at some point with both Comanches.

And a small taste of other vehicles at the show. It was very Javelin and AMX heavy.

Some of the more unusual AMC vehicles Levi’s interior! Several State Farm agents are freed identical Pacers, this is one of them. Cotton Candy AMC drag car. Check out that paint!

A neat former AMC dealer turned AMC performance shop.

Eagles! I missed some of these too.

Jeeps! I did miss getting pics of a really nice tan 87 Chief and a blue SWB and I didn’t take any pics of the FSJs.

I also picked up an NOS Fender for this car for an absolute steal

Post show pics of my rigs

Post AMC Homecoming show photos of my vehicles.

I am getting them ready and will try to post some this evening. There’s some nice stuff here

Thank you! The pattern itself is actually very similar in design to the pattern on my Eagle seats, now that you point out that it looks like an AMC design.
