[QUOTE="TreeClimber, post: 1456005, member: 16101"] [b]Cowl Induction part 2[/b] Unfortunately, the new air box is a low profile unit, which neccessitated moving the coil, and all the misc. doodads for the fuel injection. Some new brackets were fab'd up, and voila, it fit. Almost. Damn. Turns out, it was still hitting the distributor/plug wires. So off to get cut and welded. Thanks again Pat! After all was welded, everything fit. Almost. Damn. With the low profile, the angle was too sharp for the hose bends, and the flex hose wouldn't attach properly. So I bought a spacer, and raised the air box up 1 inch, and now everything fits as designed. But with the spacer, I wouldn't have needed to cut and weld the box to begin with. Oh well. Live and learn. Also, with the air box sucking from behind the cowl, I though it prudent to increase air flow to the cowl, so I drilled out a section of the vents (which are not open) of the TJ cowl. The first pic shows the cut and weld section, albiet with a lot of glare which makes it hard to see. The second pic shows how the air cleaner is sealed from underside. \ Pics 3 and 4 are of the holes drilled. The 'blank' area is where the air duct enters underneath, so that debris and water won't directly enter the intake. [/QUOTE]
