+1 on 75slant6's comment. Watch out for Cherokees too, I think a lot of them had security. Maybe you could google the PCM part number and get some answers on what it came out of. If it turns out you do have a security PCM... well, before I make my next suggestion, let me say I hate Facebook...

Maybe it was this article you saw? Not exactly dyno testing, but from a flow perspective the Hughes is still way better than the kegger. Testing intake manifolds for the 5.2 / 5.9 Magnum V8 engines I saw that Engine Masters episode and was pretty impressed with the carb air gap. I think the...

Yeah, people want stupid money for those intakes, I got lucky and found my M1 relatively cheap ($750 CAD). I'm surprised the Hughes wasn't better, I have only heard good things about them. But I would say unless you can find an OBD1 Mopar Performance PCM or upgrade to OBD2 and get a custom...

I have the Mopar M1 intake, a 53 mm throttle body, long tube headers, and the Hughes SER0814ALN-14 cam. My cam has a little less duration than yours, a little more lift, with the same 114° LSA. My car runs fine on the stock 1994 PCM. Your extra duration might be bleeding off a little more...

That cam is on the ragged edge of what the stock tune can deal with. If everything else is set up perfectly then it *should* be OK, but any small thing out of spec can cause issues with the idle and running at low RPM - especially even the slightest vacuum leak. Obviously cap / rotor / plugs /...

Do you know what cam it is exactly? The stock tune will only tolerate so much duration / overlap before it starts to get confused. I'm not surprised to hear that. I had originally set up the fuel sync in my 5.9 using the method described in that youtube video. More recently I set the sync...

Love Lake's channel and his approach. I would agree with him that it's not a good idea to use additives with an engine that is in good shape. But an old beater that smokes and / or uses oil? I'm trying every snake oil product I can find!

Yeah, 96 and up. When they switch to OBD2 and to the 46re they moved the weight from the converter to the flexplate.

When I was running a 904 I used the stock 5.9 flexplate from a 96 and later truck. One hole needs to be opened up maybe an eighth of an inch to allow it to mount to the 904 converter.

Things I haven't done yet: - Install the CEL. The wiring is all there, I just have to put a hole somewhere and put the light in. - Install the new headlight switch. My old switch works, but the dome light won't turn on. I like having a dome light, so this will happen soon. Here's a pic of...

Final updates on this build. I put some miles on the car to make sure everything was good, then I wrapped up all the wires and put some more miles on it last night. Everything works flawlessly... cruise control, ammeter -> voltmeter conversion, headlight relays, and totally redesigned engine...

I adjusted the brake light switch so I could put a few miles on the car before totally wrapping all the wires. Just want to make sure it's going to be reliable before I make everything permanent. So, uh, yeah... What do ya'll think, a little too tight? :rolleyes: This happened on Friday...

Rallye dash? In the 30 years I have been paying attention I have never seen a 70 340 Swinger with a knob radio. But that doesn't mean it didn't happen! There was a 1970 340 Swinger on BAT a while ago that had a rallye dash with a knob radio...

I should also mention that 2 of those relays and 2 of those fuses you see in the relay box are for the headlights. I didn't document any of that because it has been documented on FABO many times, but the voltage improvement to the headlights is almost unbelievable. Before the relays, with...

That is so true. It has taken me so much longer than expected to get to this point, I might have gone a little crazy if it didn't work.
