Well i found where the black one goes and that fixed my problem, but my question is, what does the pink one do that connects near the head?

Well it's not on the engine, it's near the passenger side of the engine by plug #6

No. No blocks. Especially not for 4" of lift.

Also i've never seen those lower arms before, so i have no idea what kit this is / was. This "kit" is nowhere near complete...


you can find way more complete kits for that price. I recommend one with full leaf packs. Check out Rusty's for affordable good quality kits

Use the *703 injectors out of a mid-90's Dodge Neon. The advantage is 4 holes instead of one - resulting in better fuel atomization and throttle response.

The ford injectors will require you to swap the fuel rail / fuel pressure regulator as well, and don't have the clip nuts to keep the injector attached to the rail.

Here's a brief guide:

So if I have a 2000, I would receive those benefits from a Bosch or Ford injector upgrade?

So, driving home today in 96 xj 4.0L, gen light came on and bat gauge going between the two red areas on the gauge depending on eng RPM and what loads I turned on and off. My question is does the alternator have the regulator built in or is it external (i.e. can it be replaced without replacing the alternator). Thanks.

regulator is built into the PCM
