Yea I saw you did that. I already modified the firewall a little, but I will be sure to do the same as you and grind that tab off. -

Comanche Dawn
Limeyjeeper replied to Limeyjeeper's topic in MJ Hardcore Tech: Epic Journeys to Greatness
After way too much downtime due to my move from Texas to Indiana via Ohio. I am now settled in and have now got my garage to the point where I can start back on the Comanche. I have a decent list of fixes to make:- Overheating. Still chasing this down. Need to check compression, injectors etc. I am going to figure this out eventually. I am also thinking that the carter fuel pump might not be up to the job. I need to test drive with a fuel pressure tester connected to see if the pump keeps up. It should but who knows. AF ratio is good so it doesn't seem to be running lean. Cam position sensor replacement which means taking off the intake. PITA Also need to pull the trans and transfer case to replace the bellhousing and Novak adapter with the QuickDraw setup. Now I have my lift running that is a much easier job for and old fart like me. Lots of electrical gremlins. Still chasing down the door locks. They work with the key but not from Digital Watchdawg. Really weird issue. Also interior lights don't work. Might just make a new dash harness. Stock harness is an abomination. Replace park brake cable with slightly shorter one. One of my fender flares has lifting paint. Very, very hard to get a good adhesion. Made the mistake of blasting the factory paint off. Should have left it on would have made a better base. Also going to replace the aftermarket front clip with the original one from the Jeep. Needs a lot of cleaning up but it will fit sooo much better. Anyways. I will keep everybody posted as to my progress!! -
Electric speedometer
Limeyjeeper replied to 70barracuda's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Correct. The pre 91 cluster had the fuel gauge work 0 - 88. The 91+ worked 105 to 5. You can do what I did which is to take the circuit board from behind a pre 91 gauge and wire it to a 91 gauge. It then works correctly. I have no idea why Jeep engineers felt they had to change it for a 91. The actual gauge is the same. -
Probably 33's with a 2" lift. 35s with a 4.5" lift. 16 or 17" rims.

Electric speedometer
Limeyjeeper replied to 70barracuda's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
91 to 97 speedometers are electric. You should be able to find a speed sensor you can fit to the Tremec to drive it. You will need a 91 to 97 cluster so you can power the electric speedometer. All the other gauges should be interchangeable, except maybe the fuel gauge. Not a hard swap. -

I might be ok as the Novak adapter is bigger than the quick draw adapter, but we will see. Always happy to help. If you have any more questions, you know where to find me!! -

Correct. Now I have the Novak fans I could probably move the engine forward a bit. -

Limeyjeeper replied to ghetdjc320's topic in MJ Hardcore Tech: Epic Journeys to Greatness
I have attached the instructions. You need to use the Corvette holes. Also you should get a K040340 or K040350 belt as you cannot use the whole of the adjustment on the tensioner bracket or you will hit the frame rail. So a 1" to 2" shorter belt will stop that as it tensions quicker. This is a 4 rib belt. Not sure which one I ended up using. 416896577_DD-LS-AC-LMPassengerLowMountA_CInstall.pdf -

Those are sick. What light output level did you get? I hate the ones on mine. Just don't look right. Good for Holley to bring these out!!

Yes I was at Carlisle but my LS uses one Red Optima battery in close to the factory position. I moved it as much as I could to the passenger fender. Then using the Dirty Dingo bracket I was able to snug the compressor low on the passenger side of the engine. See picture. -

You will also need the Corvette dual belt crank pulley as the AC runs on its own belt. -

I used the dirty dingo DD-SD7810-F lower ac mount kit with a Sanden 7176C SD 7810 compressor -
91 Eliminator 83K miles refresh with NOS parts
Limeyjeeper replied to Red Mistress's topic in Member Projects: Your Comanches
Nice finds!! -
I would you are gonna know real quick if they are clogged. Takes a lot to clog an injector.
-
There are loads of companies you can send the injectors to. They ultrasonically clean them and test the flow rate for each injector. Orange Ford injectors are normally 19lb so they would work well in a stock 4.0. I have used these guys. $17 per injector for an ultrasonic clean and test https://injectorrepair.com
-
If they are 24lb they are way too big for a stock 4.0. You can get them cleaned and tested for about $100

I will be there for the weekend
