    Good grief Charlie Brown!

    The injectors should inject straight into the combustion chamber and not the intake....What year is your YJ again?

    I want to get rid of the Vacuum actuated Dana 30...

    I'm sooooooo done with the inner/outer seals blowing out of the stock Dana 30 YJ front axle and want to get an earlier Dana axle housing that will bolt in without any modifications.
