Have you looked at Affordable Fuel Injection out of Michigan? Good, easy kits that are Howell based for our 4.2s. 

I specifically needed the CARB E.O. number to get through emissions.  Not sure if they have that as part of their kit.

Mmm… I doubt it. I forgot about the testing up in your area. 

Yep.  Would be nice to get away from that but the jobs that pay very well are here.  And that funds my habit, er, hobby...

I am a little familiar with their small block Chevy stuff. Seems like a good company.

Guy named Kevin Witte owns it. Super knowledgeable guy and very helpful with answering questions. They run a stand up company if you’re not looking for any frills.

And they've been around a while too. My parent's had their stuff on my mom's TBI 46 Chevy. Good stuff that never had any problems. My brother has some of their stuff on his J10 too. I'd use them in a heartbeat.

I found one of the oil leaks.

 

Pulled the drain plug, which the last person had way over tightened.  Drained the oil, went to put the Fumoto valve in and it was too small.  That's when I noticed the rivnut in the pan.

 

Someone had probably stripped out the threads on the original so they drilled it out and put in the rivnut, which had a slow drip.

 

Every time I work on this Jeep I find another thing the DSPO had messed up.

 

Fortunately, I'm running out of things I haven't touched.

Making more progress on wiring and so forth.  Got the battery tray in and the two batteries in place.  I'm going to build my own isolator switch system.  That's up next.

Got the manually controlled dual battery setup in.  One switch for each battery to connect/disconnect it.  I can run either battery or both if I want.

Still have a bunch of wiring to finish.

 

Also did the spark plugs.  It may have been running a tad rich...
