89 MJ

I believe they’re all made by ACC. The reproduction vinyl flooring is garbage, it didn’t fit well in my truck either. I replaced it with ACC carpet from rock auto and am very happy with it. I’ve got ACC carpet in my Eagle too and it’s been great.

The firing order should be somewhere on the intake. To set the timing, make sure the rotor is pointed at the #1 terminal of the distributor cap when cylinder 1 is at TDC of the compression stroke.

How does the vacuum line to the pressure regulator look?

Are you sure the timing and firing order are correct?

I second this. They look period correct, yet have great light output without breaking the bank.

Great work!

Is the gas still good? Let me get this straight, the engine turns, but it won’t fire and run, correct?

One of my favorites!

That seems like a pretty fair price for that. Factory aluminum valve cover, NP129 and non disconnect transfer case, two of the most important engine mods IMHO (HEI and MC2100), plus the rare sport style steering wheel. That’ll make a great car for someone.

Very straight. Turned out nicely.

If the door gaps are fine, I’m sure it’s good to go. That looks like it might be able to be fixed with paintless dent repair.

I think this is the first I’ve seen you post since I’ve been on the forum. And I’ve been here something like 5 1/2 years. Glad to hear you’ve still got it.

There could be a number of factors causing this. Faulty fuel pressure regulator allowing too much fuel pressure, could be an injector hanging open, or could be a faulty oxygen sensor. I’d start by making sure that the vacuum line for the regulator is hooked up.

So both APC and APB are both two tone codes? Could one be for the truck being two tone and the other code be for the stripe separating the colors?

That’s probably true. Seems interesting that they’re all two tone though.

Are you thinking that’s the four wheeler of the year edition, or do you think that’s two tone paint? I could see it being either, but if it is the two tone paint, that means Chrysler must’ve changed the code in 87.

Bucket seats and a 4cyl. That’s not a combo you see often. Looks like a nice truck

I think most, if not all were 4.0, 5 speeds. You’d probably have a hard time finding one, so I’d bet that it would be easier to build one.

Merry Christmas!

It would make it fairly close to a 4.0 ratio, which probably wouldn’t be much good with the 2.5L. In my opinion, there’s a couple of issues with the 8.8. Firstly, they are too narrow for the rear of MJs unless you get one from an Explorer Sport Trac. The other issue is the ground clearance lost. My MJ has an 8.8 and 31s, and I hit the diff when o did some very minor trails.

That’s not good. Better than out on an adventure though.

That would most likely be built into the oil pump

Our trucks were twins when new, might as well keep it that way

I’d try dumping a can of sea foam in the oil and running it at varying rpms for a bit. Maybe 20 minutes or so. Maybe that’ll help, maybe it won’t, but it’s worth a shot.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
