irieco Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Can anyone give me a lead on window guides / wipes? Another issue is finding a replacement bracket to remove the AC compressor. I want to 86 it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I spent several hours removing various parts, gadgets, and extra wiring that was added on through the years. Wow! I forgot about some of this stuff. I had stuff few of the guys here have ever seen. How about a CB radio PA speaker? Hydrogen generator? Radar jammer? Sneaky Pete? I wish I could find all of the parts for the last Item. It was fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 a Hydrogen generator and a Radar jammer? dang, someone was up late watching too many late night infomercials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irieco Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 You name it. I tried it. The hydrogen generator gave me 1 whole mpg more on the freeway. Made her run like crap in the city. It was a slow constant flow of hydrogen that didn't compensate for acceleration. At 1 mpg more it would have taken 100k miles to pay for itself. :( The jammer did work on X and K bands. Then they came out with jammer detectors! Double :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a "2 shot" nos cylinder, a relay, rocker switch, and a throttle body spray jet / solenoid unit. Unfortunately after awhile it weakened the fuel injector seals and we had an engine fire. Thus the painted 8 ball on the hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double that 1mpg was in your head (or more specifically you were driving slightly different). the laws of thermodynamics won't let you get free energy. not ever. you have to burn gas to produce the electricity that separates out the hydrogen and oxygen. and all along that path is loss due to friction and lost heat. also the technique produces an teeny tiny amount of actual hydogen.

Pete M Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I do believe that rockauto has the wipes. probably gotta search for a 4dr XJ though. chances are the bracket you seek is a junkyard item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irieco Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 Thanks Pete and Jim! I also found some information that you can use the main AC bracket from a 91-01 XJ and then use a NAPA NOE 6601819 AC bypass pulley. Supposedly the AC bracket holes line up with the Renix motor. We shall see. Solid find on the door kit Jim. Already ordered it. I thought I was going have to do a JC Whitney hack job of it. Thanks again. Pushing forward. Next step...being in California....Getting her smogged. On 2/23/2021 at 2:36 PM, irieco said: Can anyone give me a lead on window guides / wipes?

I'm old enough to remember all those fun snake oils ; ) That was before I went to collage and took nuclear physics. I always wondered why I had such a bad battery drain with a high output alternator.
