Finally found my running rich issue on my 4.7 stroker. Make it a lack of spark issue. My CPS brand new from autozone (China JUNK!!!!) was not sending the signal and thus I wasn't getting spark all the time. Measure your CPS while cranking the motor. Sent your Volt Ohm meter to AC volts...

I wish all this information and pictures were available when my truss was mounted. Great write up. Note to TNT...The spring perches could use a bit more plate to support the entire spring base instead of only 2/3rds roughly. It doesn't look good having spring hanging off in mid air...

Give it to me again Goat. What years/parts are you wanting to do. I have the following. 90 XJ 95 motor 99 intake 95 TB 90 Sensors Hesco's TPS adapter for using the 90 TPS on a 95 TB. Had to cut and extend one of the sensor wires for length. Replaced throttle cable with 95 model, used 99...

Home ported and polished 7120 head. LS1 valves 2.00in 1.55ex 5 angle valve job cause it was the same price as a 3 angle

Stud problem can be avoided. I put in the ARP 1.5" longer studs in my axle shafts. Use the short lug nut on the spacer and use regular lug nut on the tire. Double nutted basically on the exact same stud. I have those spacers still and can't seem to sell them as now one wants to go through...

Check your Ground wire at the drivers side rear of the head to the firewall. the ECU needs that ground badly to keep the engine running smoothly. No ground...2000rpm sputters, rough running above 2k etc.

OEM standard seems to be the ticket with an OEM motor.

The CPS can get cracked from pulling and installing a motor. It is usually best to remove it before taking out the motor. That is IF you took only the motor out. I usually pull motor and trans together and deal with it later. Remember the cps is only plastic with a magnetic pickup in the...

The down pipe is needed. The HO head has mis-aligned ports compared the the non-ho head. non has ports straight across, HO has them about a half inch higher on the intakes. The intake bolts up but the EGR pipe wont. The exhaust manifold sucks on the non-ho compared to HO. When you put the...

Here is the proper way to find TDC http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_bring_a_motor_to_top_dead_center Next...With cylinder 1 at TDC, the dots should be pointing AT each other. Crank dot UP and the cam dot DOWN. If not then you need to take sprockets off, manually move the cam to the point...

Amazing. He asked about LIFT blocks not about changing the damn springs. I ran 2in lift blocks for a year and didn't have any problems at all. You can run the blocks but check your U-bolts for length. You want to have full nut engagement on the threads. A block may put you at or over length...

Here is more facts since I have done exactly what your wanting to do. You can swap in up to a 1996 motor without too much work. After that, you get into a different head for 97-99 and wont have a sensor port for your dash temp gauge. Here is the recipe. 1995 HO or 96 Use your 1988 intake so...

I would love to hear a lot of details about O2 sensors. I have 3-4 of the 4 wire ones laying in my tool box. A buddy told me that unless the part numbers match, I couldn't use them on my car. Saying the "range" measured on one sensor might be different on another and still have the same...

Yeah I forgot to mention cleaning the flux off. I haven't used flux core wire in about 8-9 years. Went with shield gas and haven't looked back. So I just run my lines and keep going. BTW I guess since I forgot to mention cleaning the flux off, it should be also mentioned...CLEAN YOUR...

You take the timing chain off and align the dots on the compression stroke with piston 1 at TDC. Install the distributor pointing at cylinder #1 with spark plug wire #1. That should set you straight.

no problem. A wire fed welder is generally a mig. A mig can be used with argon gas or flux core wire. Even a CO2/Argon mix can be used depending on your needs. Flux core wire will burn at .035 size and do .25 think plate steel better than .030 wire using argon. However, be prepared for...

better answer to the hub. Take bolts half way out. Beat the snot out of the bolts...replace bolts later. After hub is out, wire brush inside of knuckle and outside of bearing. Grease it well with antiseize or bearing grease. Never had an issue after the first time.

I have also had the bolt rust/weld to the sleeve. Sleeve broke loose from the rubber and just spun. Grind head of bolt off, use metabo grinder with blade or sawzall to cut bolt inside of the bracket so you can lift the track bar out of the bracket. After its out, replace bushing, or use punch...

What are you using for your uppers?? I installed adjustable uppers and lowers. Because of the square thread Rusty's uses on their arms, the uppers popped like that. As soon as I removed them, replacing them with fixed arms, the popping went away. Also rusty's uses rubber bushing which give...

Ok couple of things. 1. You list Lincoln Wire Welder...then you say MIG. A wire welder IS a mig unless you have a tig machine in which case you wouldn't be asking questions as tig usually has stick combined. 2. Since you have a MIG welder, I am guessing you have something like a weldpak...
