Clockwise (in) leans them out. >> basically when ever its got a load at LOW rpm.. << Pinging under those conditions usually indicates a lean mixture. I would have to guess that disconnecting the stepper motor and associated junk didn't help. I don't know anything about the feedback carbs. but, can you turn the stepper thingie and richen up the mixture a little? Otherwise you are going to have to pull the main jets and ream them out a tad. This requires a special reaming tool. Basic tune-up procedures should solve any ping/knock conditions as long as the carb. is not providing too lean of a mixture. For all the guys who want to get rid of the feedback carb. and are stuck with 2bbls for smog reasons, I would recommend getting a J.C Whitney catalog. JCW advertises outright replacement carbs. pretty cheaply. When you order, you would need to tell them you have a '79 Wag., 360, 2bbl and the carb. tag reads 9RHA2 (I think that's it...e-mail me before anyone does this and I'll double check). That would get you a non-feed back 2150. Rip off the idle mix limiter caps and you would have a great carb. I can probably come-up with the proper code for the 2100 as well if you prefer. >> about the EGR, the older engines dont have an EGR manifold, are there any other differences in the EGR system? the EGR edlebrock is listed as $10 higher so Ill go ahead and get it, but Im just curious what makes an engine EGR, other than the manifold.. << YOu got it perfectly. A EGR engine is not different beyond the intake manifold and the EGR port and associated vac. stuff on the carb. An EGR valve just happens to help out ping problems under lightly loaded constant cruise RPM conditions. EGR valves close when you stomp on the throttle. They are not necessarily the answer to a ping problem. It's better to get the engine set-up so it doesn't ping and then use the EGR valve as a safety margin against poor fuel. And believe me, an engine with only 8.25 to 1 compression should run on 87 octane fuel without pinging ever. I have never heard a single ping/knock from the Cherokee at sea-level on the cheapest gas I could put in the tank. Plus, I set the initial timing at 14-15 degrees and get 34-36 total. The Cherokee has spent a total of 5 1/2 years under my care at altitudes of less than 1,000 ft. The Wag. doesn't ping at sea-level now but, it did do it for while a long time ago. -- Michael Baxter, 74172.1164-at-Compuserve.com http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/MBaxter From Reno, NV USA on 24-Apr-1997 at 00:12:58 PDT !^NavFont01F001AMGYHGbMG3BHH42MH68HKF4HOBB9CAD[Back to Top]

You'll have three piece keepers instead of two... what'll it actually
look like is the valve retainers will have the normal two split keepers,
then there will be an extra ring that the keepers are inserted inside, this
ring will fit inside the normal valve spring retainer. Some Fords have had
these in the past, too. You can get new retainers for non-rotating
applications, I believe... it's been a while... I believe they're
included in valve spring kits. umm, what else... oh, I dunno about AMC,
but on Fords the valves are indeed different where they use the "rotating"
gizmos... there is an extra groove in the valve, and the valve stem is
longer. I wish I still had my Ford engine book, I could look up exactly
what has to be done to convert... I seem to recall you could grind the
ends, but when I did my last Ford 302 I changed to Chevy valves, which
didn't have the problem (plus Chevy valves are about one-third the price of
Ford valves).

Subject: Re: Thanks Guys !!
Ok, but who do we ask for?
You have HUBS on a QT??? Are you SURE you've got QT? Wait, if it doesn't
have low range, then it's got to be a QT. There shouldn't be hubs.
The best way to see if your front tires are pulling is simply to find a
nice patch of some soft stuff, like dirt or sand, lock into emergency
drive, and floor it briefly, just enough to spin the tires. Then get out
and look to see if you left ruts behind one of the front tires and rears.
The QT is only locked front to rear in emergency drive, so you probably
won't feel much resistance by spinning the front tires while the rears are
on pavement, and vice-versa, unless it is indeed locked in emergency drive.
I've forwarded this to the fsj-list, also... I'm sure one of the QT gurus
can elaborate on what I've said. I don't think this gentleman is
subscribed yet, guys, so email him direct at PMBlock-at-aol.com.
BTW... my name is Doc. <grin>.

A true jeep! Its been my expierience that its hard to pin down exactly what year a jeep is, because most aren't just a single year. My mom has an old flat-fender down in her garrage that has a tub off an MB, engine out of an M38A1, and everything else off an M38 (as near as we can tell!). Except one of the front warn hubs is off an old scout (has an IH on it) and the ignition switch has a corn binder key! There were several years while I was growing up that it was our ONLY vehicle. Pretty small for a family of 6. Okay, back on track.. Any word on if you are going to make it down this way this weekend? -brad[Back to Top]

As I drive there is a noise, somewhere between a clicking and a banging, right under my feet any time i turn, left or right. It is only on drivers side. I greased everthing I could in front but no change. I am thinking balls joints, u-joints? Any help would prevent a couple of grey hairs, they're coming in by the hour. This problem is interfering with my exhaust overhaul(cat is plugged bad), extensive body work(passenger nose), vaccuum leaks galore, etc. Also, is there supposed to be a zerk fitting on the front driveshaft on the sleave. There is a hole but no fitting. Alfred J. Esposito espos-at-compuserve.com '89 Grand Wagoneer[Back to Top]
