Yeah that is Eric Zappe's book and it is quite helpful and informative. It has several good ideas and as I recall it explains many things very well. Good investment right after the purchase of a FSM.

Yep I just wish I could find a 91 XJ FSM..I'd buy it for sure..Heck best I have seen so far is for a 93 and that's close but some things are still different but gets me in the right direction at least..
