KA9YJH, license is current but I have not been on the air for many years. I was active on 2meters but found too many "clicks" that would only talk to one of there own.

I really would like to find another CJ2A or a M38 to rebuild. First I have to find a house with a large enough shop!!
I have a set of white gauges I bought on-line several years ago. They are the electro luminescent type, green - blue switchable. I don't think they are available anymore though.
I cheated and am running a '99 style grill without changing the whole front end.
The grill just snapped in place and has been there for a couple years now. I did put a zip tie on the bottom just in case.....
Currently attending Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College for an associate degree in Industrial Automation, Controls and Networking. Will graduate in May. I am working on finishing my resume so I can get a real job :D
In my 4.7 stroker I have HO head and intake on a Renix block. Being a stroker engine I wanted the most out of the performance gains. I have a bored out HO TB and Borla header. I used a HESCO TPS adapter. It's a little expensive but it makes the swap so much easier. The one thing you have to look out for is the HO block does not incorporate the knock sensor. I kept all of the rest of the Renix sensors except the EGR (HO does not use an EGR). I unplugged the harness at the control valve and have had no problems at all.
The EGR on my 89 4.0 failed before I did the stroker swap. All I did was plug the vacuum line going to the EGR valve with a golf tee. I never had any problems after that.
I thought I remembered someone doing a heater core swap without discharging the AC. Anyone know if that's possible? I have already spent a ton of money getting my AC working and don't want to have to have it charged AGAIN.
