Sure thing. I have owned a few eagles and I’ve had my eye on this particular one for years. Some friends of mine bought it from the guy who did the swap. Pretty sure the guy that did. The swap is on here somewhere. Aside from a little bit of wiring clues. The whole swap looks pretty stock...

Working on an AMC Eagle with a transplanted 4.0 from a 1990 Cherokee. It has been parked 10 or 15 years and I am trying to get it running smoothly again. I have it running and driving but it idles rough, stalls when you stop and shudders from time to time under acceleration. Fuel pressure at...

Anyone have a link to a detailed drawing with dimensions of the front hubs? My TSM/FSM shows detailed drawings but without percise measurements. I'm working on a custom project designed around an XJ wheel and will need to build a new hub from scratch as it's driven from a keyed shaft. Most...

I'll take peak at the vacuum ball. The bumper has been replaced so it wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't reinstalled or put back together correctly. That very well could be the problem, I was only doing 40 when I tried it. My other ride will engage the cruise at 30 so I didn't bother going...

Just got an '00XJ and the cruise ain't working. The green cruise light does light up on the cluster but the cruise doesn't function. All fuses are good in both fuse blocks. What's most likely to be the culprit?

Ok, can the newer 7120 head be used with the Renix style injection?

I have a 4.2 I6 and I am swapping a 4.0 head(#7120) onto the block. Besides the manifolds, what all do I need to yank from a parts XJ to make the fuel injection system work reliably on a 4.2 engine? Which system will work better as a stand alone system, the RENIX or the '91-'96 system? Should I...

Gotcha. My XJ has full gauges, I was just trying to figure out if the one in the boneyard was OEM or not.

While rumaging thru the junkyard yesterday I found a RENIX XJ that had the instrument panel with the idiot lights instead of actual gauges. In the change holder compartment forward of the shifter there was a panel with 3 holes each about the size of a quarter. Looked like some sort of factory...

Thanks guys! IFSJA has mountains of good info.

Ideally I would go with the HO setup but I have a Renix Jeep at my disposal and I really can't argue with the price. One question for today, where the heck is the 'ECM' on a 1990 4 door? I will keep you guys posted!

Cool! On the Renix setup how does the CPS tell where the engine is? Magnets on the flywheel? That was my main concern.

Yes I had 127 out of a maximum of 100 ??? All fixed now

Thank you so much!

Looking to throw a 1990 Renix head and fuel injection system on a 4.2L I6. I have a brand new 4.2 short block and a 1990 4.0XJ with a seized crank at my disposal. It's all going into an FSJ that had a carb'd 258 at one point. I would like to use as many parts that I already have on hand as...
