I already have a Summit HEI distributor, new in box and ready to go. I figure that will be installed very late in the game, after I prime the oil system. I already have some Taylor 8.2mm plug wires as well, but I obviously won't be installing those until after the distributor.

Yesterday was my day off work and the weather was beautiful, so I spent most of the day outside working on the car. I began modifying the wiring harness, installed the last two sensors, then routed and installed most of the harness. I finally found two radiator hoses which could be...

Yes, I am still at the Doug Smith Autoplex in American Fork. Wow, Bryce, what a small world indeed. After looking at your Jeep, you'll be pleased to know my rig is also a black softtop TJ. :)

Since I still need to buy a locking dipstick plus a couple other random items for the transmission, I decided to begin at the front of the engine. The aluminum water pump was a simple bolt-on affair, though I did have to use some washers as spacers to make its pulley properly line up with the...

This is a link to a really cool up-close video showing a spider building a web. (I promise nothing will jump at you and make you piss your pants while watching it.) https://www.facebook.com/BuzzFeedAnimals/videos/1335635703125088/

Glad you were referred here. You're in good company.

AutoCheck has very little to say about it. They don't have any report of it being stolen. The last registration event was way back in April 2003. HTH.

Oh, I know exactly how much I am into it so far. I have been keeping very careful track of my total spending on this car. ... though I'm kinda embarrassed to say it publicly.

Rick had two sets of new-in-box Flowtech headers that he thought might work. The first is part number 11132: The second is part number 11130: Just looking at them in person, I was pretty confident the 32s weren't going to work. I thought the 30s might have a chance, given some massaging...

This was me earlier today: Let me explain. This morning, I trailered my Grand Prix Rick's exhaust shop and dropped it off. Rick has a couple sets of new-in-box headers and he offered to see if either set might be a better fit than what I have tried to make fit (but doesn't). Full of...

First: welcome to RME! You have definitely found the right place to ask these sorts of questions. Now, let's talk about your situation. Your skills and abilities combined with the machinery at your disposal mean the sky is the effective limit. Given enough time, a competent welder/fabricator...

Wow. If I were looking for a V8 project that doubles as a comfy cruiser, I would buy that in a second.

Oh, gee, it's a lengthy list. At least the following: 1. Grind a-arm mounts (and perhaps dimple a few tubes) so the headers properly bolt onto the engine, then install exhaust system. 2. Create the cooling system: install water pump & radiator, source correct hoses, mount an electric fan that...

GOOD NEWS: the engine & transmission are in! Nothing else is connected yet, but at least the 454 and 4L80E are physically bolted into place. I was completely thrilled to see this happen, but it was also very sobering--it made me realize I have a long way to go before this thing will move under...

Awesome. As soon as it is done acting as a mobile parking spot for my Grand Prix, I'll let you know.

I have something I would love to bring you; I just don't know how soon I could get it up to you. My trailer's bolt-on spare tire mount broke. Sure, I could buy some new pieces and bolt it back on, but I'm thinking about having it welded on in a different (hopefully more convenient) spot. This...

I will (again) suggest either a 2014+ Subaru Forester or a 2015+ Subaru Outback. Either vehicle will match or beat the Cherokee on cargo room, passenger room and fuel economy, while also being able to handle the off-pavement driving you want to do. I know I sound biased--especially because I...

That is amazing. Our stock Mopar injectors didn't like seeing fuel pressures that high, and their reliability suffered when we tried feeding them so much pressure. Hmm, my vehicles (I did this to more than one) were always happy even with 28 psi in the rail and fat oversized injectors. As I...

On that note, I will admit: South Park nailed it with that episode.
