Default few ??

my 94 cherokee has 232000 miles on the body, im gonna guess that the wiper motor is stock. its slow as hell just a new one should fix this or any upgrades?

is it worth it to get the msd 6 offroad? or is a cap and larger wire combo just as effective

i have a 99 engine in my 94. looks like a header on it but i havent fulley inspected. is the flow good enough or should i buy a full header

what is the optimal size of exhaust

i know there is a search but my comp is shot and im stuck surfin with an outdated phone so it never loads.

you can probably just grease the wiper linkage,no msd is not worth it just get some good parts and do a tune up, i built my own 2 1/4in mandrel bent setup i didn't notice anything overstock and i know a 2 1/2in is overkill,and finally the "header" you see is stock for the later XJs my 98 has a "factory tubular manifold" as well

forget your normal tricks they don't work.....to build any real power gains you got to get into the motor and at the end of the day they just don't adapt well.....it's not a small block where you go from 8:1 comp. 175hp to 11.5:1 comp. and 400 hp with heads and a cam
