Hello people, I am looking to purchase an older Cherokee chief very soon. I have it narrowed down between a 1978 and 1979 both with 360 motor. I found some specs from "automobile-catalog" that states the motor in 1978 was 176HP, and the 1979 as 127HP. What is the deal to lose 50HP? I might have to go with the '78 just for that factor.
Thanks for input!

The name is a little misleading: This forum is geared towards the 1984-2001 XJ. You'll find some old-timers here that know what you mean but otherwise these guys would be who you need: http://www.ifsja.org/forums/vb/

OK how should I drain the ATF+4 out of the transmission? Drive for a few miles then drain it out and fill with dex/merc and drive another few miles. Drain again and fill with Dex/Merc. Is 5 quarts enough to accomplish this?

Talked to my buddy and he says I may need to change the AT filter again because it soaked up the ATF+4, is this correct? Also how do i get the fluid oyt of the torque converter? I'm just going to wait to change the fluid at school using the machine they have there.
