Follow-up. Crisis 1 averted. Finally snipped through the plastic screw. Unfortunately, there is very little play in the wire length so crisis 2 is trying to disconnect it (electrical end) sight unseen. LEADING TO NEXT question . . . can I just try to get the sensor part out first so I don't kill the already questionable and ratty harness trying to disconnect it? Will I hurt the Jeep doing that? Or myself? (sorry, I'm a mom - I need to be around until all college is paid for, so I had to ask) . .

Evening gents,
I'm looking for experience with TJ Moabs, 265/75r16 tires and the WJ steering/braking swap.
Q1: Is the 5" backspacing sufficient for tires of size 265/75r16?
Q2: Does the TJ Moab clear the WJ dual piston caliper?

No. Either you hydrolock it, or you dont. No in-between. It's still possible that you could clog your cat or ruin your O2 sensors but that depends on so many factors it'd be difficult to predict. "A few drops a few days later" isn't even worth your time opening the hood.
Might want to be careful giving advice like that before someone breaks their Jeep lol...
Your year has a cable-driven speedo. I'd start by inspecting and lubricating it.

I'm thinking of putting in a transmission cooler. Anyone know a link to a good write up on how to set up the lines. Also do I cut the hard line to splice it into the cooler or is there an adapter kit. Some people say not to cut it while others do

What is the Blue wore coming off the distributor? It was complety stripped and touching the bare blocl on my 88 4.0. Im wondering if this could have been my hesitation/almost stalling issue if it was arcing out on it.

Renix distributors have a sync generator in them that is used to fine-tune fuel injection timing. In later years it's a camshaft position sensor.
