Re: need help about throttle body install.
There are a few of those that keep trading hands over on alt.jeep-l.
Either that or it's just one person that got suckered for one and still
can't unload it.

Re: need help about throttle body install.
Thanks for all the replies.
One other thing I didn't do, was re-set the computer. But now that I did do
it, it remains the same. I migh as well just put everything back.
I had also removed the stock intake and air cleaner, and put on a "dragon
intake" . I guess I will learn some things for myself.
What do you guys think about Jacobs electronic ignition modules?
thanks.

Re: need help about throttle body install.
A TB spacer used to be used on some carbs on V8's to keep them a bit
cooler.
You 'could' just adjust your tranny kick down and see how it does. Be
warned that in a hundred or so miles you should torque the bolts down
again, it will usually come loose from the hot cold expansion. Same for
the original TB if you take the spacer out.
Same for the intake, you have it, try it.
So did you do a detailed gas mileage, power on a certain big hill, etc.,
check before the mods? If so check them after just for the heck of it,
you might have hit on a winner combo, who knows?
I did when I modded my 86 258 and I got a sweet 25% boost in power and
gas mileage and got a lower emissions reading by killing the emissions
computer, adding a hot coil and timing curve and manually tuning it up.
The Jeep FI engine is already tweaked up pretty much the best it can be.
It has all been tried by somebody here and nothing has any real effect.

I did when I modded my 86 258 and I got a sweet 25% boost in power and
gas mileage and got a lower emissions reading by killing the emissions
computer, adding a hot coil and timing curve and manually tuning it up.
The Jeep FI engine is already tweaked up pretty much the best it can be.
It has all been tried by somebody here and nothing has any real effect.

Re: need help about throttle body install.
A TB spacer used to be used on some carbs on V8's to keep them a bit
cooler.
You 'could' just adjust your tranny kick down and see how it does. Be
warned that in a hundred or so miles you should torque the bolts down
again, it will usually come loose from the hot cold expansion. Same for
the original TB if you take the spacer out.
Same for the intake, you have it, try it.
So did you do a detailed gas mileage, power on a certain big hill, etc.,
check before the mods? If so check them after just for the heck of it,
you might have hit on a winner combo, who knows?
