My '88 YJ has so much rust behind windshield hinges, there are holes into the cab. LOL. I removed the windshield and the hinges snapped, so I am installing new ones and a whole new windshield and gaskets. Removed the hinges to do so and a mess is underneath, literally rust in the shape of the...

The following device was inline before my distribute vacuum advance. It has "Ford" written on it and the model number "D8OE-AA". I cannot seem to find any data about it anywhere. Can someone tell me about it and is it necessary? I would not mind just leaving it out if possible.

I did that prior and I am hoping for a cleaner look. I think I have found what I need, they are on order.

In my 1988 YJ with I have the 4.2 engine block with the 4.0 head. The intake and exhaust manifolds are stock to the 4.2 I believe. I have nuttered the Jeep, therefore I am not using the knock sensor and coolant sensor in the intake manifold and the oxygen sensor in the exhaust manifold. I would...

Thank you I will read that.
