my intake makes it loud enough that I have to do that... can't wait until I get the exhaust on - maybe I'll go back to setting car alarms off again

You know you drive an Xj when your CPS goes out so you buy a junk yard one and that goes out so you buy another junkyard one and THAT goes out but you never get around to buying a new one. Hahaha

When you're replacing your distributor and alldata is no help, two guys who have built several engines can't time it, but 5 minutes on cherokeeforum, drop it in and bolt it up and it fires right up.

gear drives are horrible, never put one on an engine you care about. Crane double roller is the ticket. Any little bit of good they do is outweighed by alot of bad........
