I was hoping for someone elses opinion also.. Any line attached to manifold should be crack-free. Since you hear leak at rear of engine, I'm not sure what else it could be other than intake, the MAP sensor is mounted on firewall but should be obvious if there is an issue, have a look at its vacuum line anyway. When I installed my intake it was on the pins, when I tightened the first bolt it angled the manifold unevenly causing it to bind on pins. It was not noticeable and tightening the remaining bolts did not correct the alignment. I figured this out after disassembling again. Are you using a new gasket?
I have loosened and re tightened the bolts. I tightened them in stages, and torqued them in the correct sequence.
I'll have try again.

It's tough to pinpoint what is going on from this side of a computer. Perhaps start your own thread to get more attention from the 'specialists'.

Transmission cooler lines
On my 1990 Cherokee I recently noticed the rubber part of my transmission cooler line going to top of radiator has a small hole in it and is leaking. Can someone help me by telling me what I need? Should I get the full line from radiator to tranny or just the tranny to quick connect section and where could I get a good deal on it?

Got some ZJ seats! I was gonna fab up some brackets but then I realized, is it possible to get some of the floor rail brackets from a later Xj and weld them into the earlier model xj? Here's a pic of the rails I'm talking about, pic is from Google.

The ZJ seats should fit the XJ seat brackets.

There are 2 really good threads on NAXJA.

I have a (might be a parts) ZJ I'm thinking of swapping the seats into my XJ. It does mention that it'll make you sit higher though. Anyone know if there's a way to not make the seating higher?(willing to fab a bit) At least in the front... 6' 4" and already brushing the roof with the hair...
