Put a new fuel pump in her, and drove it around the block.

Everyone else left work early, but I do shift work...so I spent 3 hours vacuuming out and wiping down the new MJ. That poor Comanche's interior was so neglected... Looks a thousand times better now, and most of the smell is gone
Also replaced my burnt out taillight and got a cassette>auxiliary adapter for the radio. Kickin' it old school.
Thanks bud, thats what i was aiming for

Still trying to figure out why she's running at 2000-2500 rpms at idle, even after ruling out vacuum leaks, IAC valve failure, and TPS issues. I'll have to think about it some more. Maybe find a stock TB and see if the problem goes away. But anyway, I thought I'd take a picture of my new headers that glow red when they get hot. And you can imagine how hot it gets and how quick when it's running at highway cruising rpms at idle!

It's not normal to idle at 2000-2500, either! At that rpm, I should be going at least 70!

I think it might be running a little rich, what have you done to the motor?

I'm trying to figure out why it's revving so high. I put on headers, 99+ intake, 63mm TB, & 703 injectors. Ruled out vacuum leaks, TPS, & IAC.
