Hey dukie lookin at the difference between older prop valve and newer ones. Doesn't really appear to be a difference. Fab is same. Port sizing same. Not only for myself but for future ref for folks wanting to do the bendix 9 swap, what are the chances of nailing down a difference if there is one?

Check your crank sensor disconnect it and hook a voltmeter up to the crank it should have a 5 volt reference. If it doesn't thats your problem. That's what it sounds like anyways like what you described.

Simple question: Looking at new wheels. I have a stock XJ. Sticking with 15". Stock tire size (225/75/15). What size backspacing would be good for stock specs? (I want my tires to stick out a little more but not to the point where my XJ isn't street legal). And can I fit 225/75 on a 15x8 wheel? If not, what would be recommended for the width?

Also, I live in PA. The law here states that the sidewall can stick out past the fender flares but the tread cannot...

Thanks for the help guys,
Griff

Id say a 235 would fit on a 15x8.
Stock backspacing is 5.25"

Thanks for the help, your comment in the other thread confused me lol! So a 235 would fit but do you know if 225 would fit? I just got 2 new tires (need two more now) so I need to keep that size for a while...if they wouldn't fit I guess I would have to go 15x7 right?

sorry, thought you wrote 235.
a 225 should be close to 9" wide.
Ive got to reading, and it looks like most would tell you to run 7" rims.

alright, that's fine....looks like when I get money for a lift I will need some new wheels too (I'm guessing you can't run a 11.5 on an 8" wheel)

Default Where does this go?

Hi Folks - Newbe here ... I have a 1987 Jeep Cherokee project just started, and it has many odds and ends - unconnected. One mystery is a tube that I found hanging from near the tranny. Does anyone know where this plugs into? I'm attaching a picture ... hope it works...

I would have first thought the tranny breather hose but can't see the end too well so I might be wrong
