The one in the Cherokee gets 14 if I stay below 3000 rpm. I expect nothing less from the new one going in the 90.

Lack of updates. Yes I know. I am cruising steadily attempting to get a lot done. Tearing out the dash to replace tubing and vacuum lines. Installing new brake valve and getting the exhaust back in. As well as wiring and brakes. I hope for a more detailed update soon.

Detailed update 1.

I am lost in Jeep land. Do not attempt to locate.

Got the final layout of the MSD in. At least for now. On to the other stuff.

Working on brakes. Rear brakes were like a time capsule. I think the crushed line stopped them from working. Line is fixed now. Image

Nice Progress. Is it going to make it to the Invasion?

Ok. Update time.

Just to show where all the parts come from I will put the first name of where they came from.

First of all, without Jerry in Globe there would be no Jeep. Every time I needed an important part for the last two years or troubleshooting help Jerry was there.

Installed Kevin's np208, Derf's front drive shaft. Installed Tad's crossmember. New brake hoses all the way around. Installed new bleeders on all brakes. 1 person bled all brakes. Fixed leak in rear brake flex line by going to the Parker hose store. Changed fluid in transfer case Dex III. It feels good to have this much done. 30/70 it makes it to Ouray.

Heater vacuum. On the dash vacuum switch there is a H, 1, 2, 3, and 4. Input vacuum on 1? Heater on H? And defrost on the last one? I need this because all vacuum lines were removed before I got it. I know I should troubleshoot but I am trying to get finished.

You might post up a separate thread asking your vacuum question.

Get some caps and scraps of hose to test it with. Figure out which goes where.

Oh, That is not it. LOL. I figured that out. I was hoping to get it to Ouray. After working on it it two years and still having a long list of items is a little discouraging.
