To each their own. I'd upgrade to the 4-holes instead of the bosch stockers. To me, not worth 160. To each their own.

When does it misfire? After you let it sit for a while after running then misfires? What year is it? It could be a dist/coil/spark plug issue.

So I'm upgrading my rear brakes to discs next week and I just want to make sure I've got all I need. So I have backing plates, calipers, I think there called axle studs ( connect the backing plate to the axle), and the prop valve from the donor, and new lug studs.
Also will I need to do any modification to the hard lines on my jeep to get them to fit in the prop valve or connect to the soft lines on the calipers or is it just screw in and go?
Thank you guys.

I did that and no more misfires. I also wired my electric fan up to a switch so I can run it for a few minutes if its a really hot day before I start it back up.

Does anyone know if the speaker from a police siren can be used as a PA speaker if plugged into a CB? Just remembered my dad's truck has one on it and he can't use it anymore. Only has two wires going to it and all i'll have to do is put a 1/8th connector on it.

I will probably insulate 5/6 but im still gonna do the injectors just for better mpg etc

The sound and tone might be a bit off but I'd bet it'll be loud as hell and fun to have. I'll look around and see what the impedance and frequency range is on similar sirens compared to a PA

Reason i think it'll work is the old control panel (Which i can't find anymore) had a PA setting.
