The product that offered the best performance in my experience has been the Jacobs System. Expensive, but installed correctly it made a H U G E difference in a couple of engines. The best place to start for getting any engine to be more effecient is the ignition system. Once everything is correct ( plug wires that work, new spark plugs gapped wide, coil hooked up right,..) then and only then should you proceed with any modifications. However, mileage IS a difficult thing to track since the better performance usually means more "spirited" driving, intentional or not. If you notice any improvement in the sound or performance of the motor, rest assured it is more effecient and getting better miles-per-gallon. Warren Rund[Back to Top]

The cherokee has been nice ever since I bought it, and the truck came out really well. Better than I expected. I'll take lots of pictures. Hopefully I won't be the only FSJer there, like I was last year. It's mostly CJ's and stuff, but this year it supposed to be pretty big and BF Goodrich is one of the sponsors. I'll be there generally promoting all that is grand about FSJ's and selling a few parts manuals. <g> The chero is in a class with all other chero's and wags of all years, even the little ones. Seems strange to me. My chero against one of the new ones? The truck is in a class with CJ-8's, and comanche's. I guess this is the odd ball class. (sorry brad in chicago) I hope to do well and will report tomorrow. If I don't win, I may just hook up to the two CJ winners and drag them both down the street. <BG> Zack Heisey '79 J-10 '79 Cherokee Chief Wide Track http://www.dickinson.edu/~marschka/FSJ.jeeps.html[Back to Top]

As this is an automatic, it has the solenoid on the side of the carb. The questions is, what is this solenoid for ?? Comments about the BBD carb? Good? Bad? Also discovered that I _did_ have a thermostat in the durn truck, but it was a winter one rated at 195 F. I replaced it with a summer one at 165F. Hopefully this will help keep the temp down a bit. Also changed the fuel filter and air cleaner while I was pretending to be Joe Backyard Michinic (sic) <g> Will change the oil & filter tomorrow, as I don't know when it was done last. Let's see,,,, don't know how long baby brother drove it since_he_ changed the oil, the it was parked in Mom's garage for 2 years, then I put on 3500 of mostly off-road miles....... I'd say it's about due for a change !! Also got to thinking about the " no downshift " problem. The gas pedal linkage (cable) has a lot of slack in it that may be contributing to this dilemna. I think the adjustment for this seems to be the screw that controls the setting of the aforementioned solenoid. SO, once again, what's it for ?? Located a master brake cylinder for $31.00 locally, so I'll pick that up, as well as both sets of brakes, and do the brake job while I feel rambuctious. Oh well, thats enough for tonight.

SUBJECT: Grand Wagonneer limo spotted
I remmeber a couple of days ago people mentioning where they have seen
Grand Wagoneer limos at, and I was watching Dumb and Dumber last
night, and spotted one in the backround. It is when Lloyd and Harry
are trying to find Mary in the phonebook at Aspen at the payphone and
in the background there is a baby blue one.
Well, that 83 J-10 stepside that I had mentioned earlier this week was
a really sharp truck. The truck was very clean but had a really cheap
paint job. I was going to make the guy an offer, but after I look at
it for a little while, this guy comes out of the house and just says
to me "My wife should have told you that I took the truck off of the
market because I am tired of dealing with the dam thing", and he just
walks back in the house, no goodbye or I am sorry that I let you guys
drive 40 minutes all the way out here for nothing. That was crap.
Oh well,

Date: Sat, 31 May 1997 10:47:26 -0400 From: "John Jacobs" <jabobsj-at-flash.net> Subject: Exhaust Well, it finally happened, just when I least expected it. I drove the Wag to work to see how it would do with the newly installed ignition system, and on the way back from lunch the muffler decided it no longer wanted to be with this world. The blasted thing had rusted through the pipe leading into the muffler. I was so excited. (Really I was!) Now I am faced with a dilemma. I want to put new headers and performance exhaust on, but next weekend I am going camping. The guys that I am going camping with want to drive some of the fire trails near the campground (one guy has a 97 TJ, the other a F-150 that I have not seen.) Killer part is I know it will take some time to get the headers (probably through mail-order) and remove the current exhaust manifold and install the new system. (I figure a real long time for removing the current exhaust manifold.) I really want to take the Wag up for some light trail riding (I'll let them go if they go "In Search Of..") but I have to do something (it is a little loud right now w/o the muffler..) I am thinking of taking it to a muffler shop and having them cut-off the current muffler system from just behind the collector and mounting just the new muffler in, then when I have the time I can change the headers and hook them up with the rest of the system.

The guys that I am going >camping with want to drive some of the fire trails near the campground ( Hi John, Just my opinion but since you do seem to use your Wag in the woods and not just for freeway flying, your above statement is sorta contradictory. Headers are good for top end rpm range performance but may actually hurt you torque wise at the low end. How much you'd notice the difference at either end is questionable but I'd save your money and just get a new exhaust system from the stock headers back. I've run headers on 4x4's just because my stock manifolds were warped and it was cheaper to get headers than a factory manifold(s). Depending on what brand you get, some are definitely better than others but generally headers are a PITA. The flanges warp eventually and you'll be fighting exhaust leaks/noise. If you're in the rust belt, they'll rust through about as fast as a tail pipe. They usually don't quite fit like in the brochure either. You'll loose the heat riser which is nice to have in the frozen north. For the money, you'll not get one noticeable benefit but may actually loose in some areas. Just my cents...
