Jeep Driver

It's a long story, I'll save you the details. I stumbled into a world class machine shop, a referral from another machine shop that I'm working with on another project. I've been here more than 10 years and I had no idea they existed, it almost seems they operate by invitation only, IOWs, if you don't know who they are, you don't need to know. They agreed to help me with the gauge mount. They advised me to measure and sketch to save money, and I see why now, what a tedious job. They have a water jet and a CNC brake. I've seen their work, mind blowing. We'll see how this turns out. I'm dropping it off Monday. The clock is going in the panel that contains the cig lighter, I'll cut that hole myself and it's remaining plastic. I also ordered two panel mount USB ports, one to the head unit and one will go to a fast charger. These two will be cut into the panel to the right of the cluster and blow the AF gauge. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Cerrxian-USB-3-0-Flush-Mount-Cable-1m-USB-Type-A-3-0-Male-to-Female-Flush-Da/323236973647?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

I've got one more gauge coming.

There is no aftermarket ECM/ECU, there is no support, there is no integration, no digital dash. That Painless is universal, will supply power the to ECM/ECU but is not an engine harness, IOWs, it ain't really a fit ALL your needs harness. Many of us have gone through our electrical and cleaned it up, new wire, new-er fuse block, new connectors..........etc. But, if you want to spend the money- here's a how to, a fresh one- Before the really smart guys say......That's not an MJ......no, it's not. It's the same harness, same fuse block, same bulkhead, same work and effort.

http://www.4wdmechanix.com/Tuning-and-Troubleshooting-the-2.5L-Jeep-TBI-Four?r=1 Maybe you'll believe Moses? I'm at 4 degrees advanced at the crank, I used a timing light..........NOTHING changed. You guys should study more.

I watched this over a year ago, IIRC, you won't hear one mention of dist/ignition timing. Watch if you want to learn about cam timing.

OK. I'm not arguing anymore. The ECU will not allow you to advance timing. 4 degrees at the crank will only be 2 degrees at the rotor. Since the dist is fixed, as the rotor passes the post, if firing was early on the post before cam advance, it will now be late on the post. ECU will correct timing based on CPS.

Again they're not related you can turn the distributor on a standard distributor ignition you can turn it to 34 degrees it doesn't really matter As far as the CPS is concerned the ECU is reading the CPS at the crank which has absolutely nothing to do with cam timing or valve timing the cam only changes the relationship between the cam and the crank that's it everything else Remains the Same

I've posted on this before Ignition timing and valve timing have no relationship to each other, a timing light will tell you nothing. Particularly when you have no control over ignition timing timing is going to be set to the crank sensor. The only way you're going to know whether or not you are Advanced or retarded at the valve is use a degree wheel. I have watched racing engine builders who will factor in advance at the cam knowing that after a couple of runs down the Dragway when they factor in chain stretch they will be straight up when they check the valve timing again. Some manufacturers will include some advance in the grind when you couple that with advancing at the gear you could be 4 to 6° advance the only way you will know is to either know what the manufacturer has ground into the cam or by putting a degree wheel on the engine and checking your valve timing. I suspect that particularly if you were using a single roller chain after 40 or 50,000 miles you'll be straight up at valve timing even with 4° advanced Advancing the timing at the valve creates power at the lower end retarding the timing creates power at the upper end of your RPM range.

1988, yes, original wiring.

I'm sorry to hear that

Let me back up......... Maybe a 93 or 94 intake, has to do with the PS mount. I really don't remember, you'll have to study it out, I began building the engine 4 years ago.

The block is a 98 and the intake....?????, don't remember, 2000 maybe? The block and heads are all the same, intakes may vary but I doubt it, just look around.

People are ignoring the death count, that's why. At some point................ I can't afford one anyway, matters not to me, and if the gov was not subsidizing, no one could afford one. But, when it's your daughter or son that is roasted? At what expense?

1/2" aluminum plate. You get 5pcs for $20 on ebay. You'll screw up one or two, trust me, if you are doing by hand as I did. 4"x4".....something like that. Been a while. And you'll need to tap the injector holes, 9/16 tap and plugs, you'll need two taps, one to make a bottom tap.

Been going on for well over a decade now.

The wizards of smart, they do have lofty goals, don't they? EVs may very well be the future, but not in your lifetime nor mine. Tesla can't figure out how to not turn their customers into crispy critters. Look them up, they've toasted quite a few. Actually, I call this murder, because they know better.

Thanks. I like to know the value of things. As expected.

I have Autopal on the MJ, they are no comparison to the Hella ecodes that are on the XJ. I like the Hella. I'm going with the JW Speaker for the MJ.

The day I took it out of the box, it looks better now, wrinkle free. I give my customers what they ask for, I warn them, they pay me to do it again, if need be. It's covered now. I thought I've have time to refinish the top this week, maybe next week. I've always been payed to work where others pay big money to be. First half of my life, the beaches, now my view of God's creation. The more I do for this guy, the more he has me do, been there a year now, on and off.

JW Speaker.

You notice I didn't type anything in my post? Don't stifle the spark of creativity and imagination.
