4wd conversion question
I have every thing in meaning, tease, drive shaft, shifter, axle lol, and tranny. So now my last problem is the vacume part. I think the front Dana 30 is out of an 86 XJ. What do I need to do vacume wise to get every thing working properly? A diagram would be very helpfull. Thank you

Someone on here once explained that having the vacuum axle housing converted to use the axles from the non vacuum axle is actually a stronger setup.

Disco axle housings are a little thicker to compensate for the disco area. Put a non-disco axle in place of the two disco parts and remove the bracketry and weld up the selector hole. No vacuum required.
