I would. I wish I had before installing mine since it has a slow leak from the input.

At least replace the seals for peace of mind.

I have been following this thread for a while, I just registered today. My Brother-in-law and I have been searching up and down for "neon" injectors the 703-EV1 injectors. We searched 3 or 4 dozen neons with no luck. Today we decided to check sratus' and we hit pay dirt, almost every stratus with an l4 that was EV1 had 703s in them. There in the soak ready to get cleaned up and tried on for size.

This is good to know, because I still need to find two more. My son and I have only found one Neon that had the 703-EV1's, now we can go back and look some more! Thanks!

So these dont work, because of the angle they come out at, spent 2 hours yesterday trying to figure how to put these in. Finally got then close enough to bolt them in, but they would get stuck on the shock mount above the control arm.

10. JK rear UCA = use as XJ LCA, its about 1-2" longer

Same here. Has anyone experimented with seats that provide a lower height? Even if I have to relocate and rebolt the frame to the floor.

I thought about trying seats from an s10, or Dakota. but I haven't started measuring yet.

has anyone done this yet?

What size lift are you trying to use them for? They're wayy too long for around a 4-5" lift if thats what your trying to use them for.
LCA's for a 4-5" lift is only about 3/4" longer than stock if i remember correctly.

I'll be going down to a repair shop soon to rummage thru their cores to find out since no one here rewinds they just replace the whole stator with a higher amp unit and the biggest you can get for ours "off the shelf" is 100amp
