    Body Clamps and Clips Alternatives

    Plenty of sense and an excellent idea. What did you use to mount the clips to the frame? Did you use a push pin or tap a hole and use a bolt/lock washer/washer, or maybe a self tap screw?

    Body Clamps and Clips Alternatives

    I saw what they had to offer, that stuff is awesome. Their is a slight problem though if for metal brake or fuel lines. The factory clamps did not allow the metal of the brake or fuel line to touch the frame. It acted as a rubber/plastic barrier as well as a clamp. I think they did it this way...

    Body Clamps and Clips Alternatives

    Fellow Jeepers. I have a 1988 Wrangler YJ. I am about to (today) replace the fuel and brake lines. On the stock Jeep there are a series of plastic and rubber mounting clamps and clips that are used to secure these lines. Most of my clamps and clips are broken and I do not know where to get...

    ECM Removal???

    Firstly, I would like to note that you may not agree with the Fascist Maryland comment. Here is an example. The Governor O'Malley using a rain tax to recover the coffers that he fleeced for personal, political, and useless projects from the Chesapeake Bay foundation. And that was a political and...

    ECM Removal???

    I am sold on the HEI after your comments and research, thanks for all the inputs. Here are some questions. 1) Many say DUI, but CRT has seemingly the same performance parts for 100$ cheaper. Opinions please? 2) I know the plug wires need to be swapped for HEI wires. 3) Can I run the stock plugs...

    ECM Removal???

    Used to live in Ellicott City. That is when I first started using the term "National Fascist State of Maryland". LOL I was referring to the "sterile" landscape known as Howard County. More specifically Columbia, we non-howard country folks refer to the helpless Columbia-ites as an available food...

    ECM Removal???

    I have a 1988 Wrangler Laredo with the 4.2L and an AX-15 manual transmission. It has the original distributor, factory air conditioning (I KNOW, I did not order it), etc. It also has a Weber 34 DGEC carburator, the Carter is GONE. I would like to remove the damned ECM and make this Jeep what it...

    Fuel Filter With Mechanical Fuel Pump

    Alright, thanks. I will do fuel tank > filter > pump > regulator > filter > carb FOR NOW I will use clear filters so I can see what is happening in them, if needed, I will pull out the one before the pump if problems arise.

    Fuel Filter With Mechanical Fuel Pump

    It has become obvious that people will use an inline fuel filter between the gas tank and the the fuel pump and also between the fuel pump and the carburetor. Would it be prudent/sensible to include the same configuration with a mechanical fuel pump? If yes, where? At the moment I have...

    Mechanical Fuel Pump Options

    I understand. Thank you very much for the post. Prior to reading this I spoke with technical support from Weber Carbs. They said...... He told me their carb. was engineered to work with the stock mechanical fuel pump. I think I have a Weber 34/36 DGEC. Need to check. He said in either case...

    Mechanical Fuel Pump Options

    Could you please elaborate in why the electric fuel pump would be better than the mechanical specifically for the Weber (over the Cart original). The Weber was designed to replace the Carter in the Jeep and I thought is was the same specification. That it would be fully tolerant to the surge of...

    Mechanical Fuel Pump Options

    I have bought a multi-owner 1988 Jeep Wrangler YJ with a 4.2L. A previous owner placed a Mr. Gasket electric fuel pump in the ENGINE BAY (huge NO NO via the manufacture, all over the instructions not to, PO did it anyway, DUMB). I would like to get all the messy PO aftermarket garbage out of...

    Second Hand 1988 Jeep Wrangler Oddities - Help

    Thanks for the ground advice, I concur. That is what I will do. Someone (PO) has placed a bush-league Mr. Gasket electric fuel pump in the engine compartment (HUGE NO NO according to manufacturer and instructions). This fuel pump is a mess. I am going back to the mechanical fuel pump, the...

    Dana 35 limited slip?

    I bought an '88 YJ a bit ago and it has a Dana 35 rear differential as well. I have not cracked it yet, so I do not know if it has an "LS" marking somewhere for Limited Slip. I would like to find out prior to cracking it so I can get the proper Limited Slip fluid. Could you please tell me where...
