The new 89981 ignition tester from MSD Performance can test not only traditional single-coil ignition systems but also coil-per-cylinder applications. Users can even create an RPM run and let the tester run through the RPM range to see the ignition activate accessories like shifters, nitrous solenoids, and others.

The baffled oil catch can kit from Mishimoto for 2007–2001 Jeep Wrangler JK (MMBCC-WR6-07PBE) reduces the amount of harmful blow-by oil that coats your intake tracts and cakes your valves with carbon deposits. Specially designed internal air diverters slow incoming air for more effective air/oil separation, while a 50-micron bronze filter combs the air and an internal aluminum baffle prevents any caught content from being recirculated back into the system.

The one-piece, 2.5mm-thick steel bracket was engineered to withstand off-road stresses, and mounts securely to the chassis in an optimal position that avoids the bulk of chassis movement. Installing this direct-fit kit takes about only an hour from beginning to end. Product backed by Mishimoto’s lifetime warranty.

  • 1 application-specific mounting bracket.
  • 1 black-anodized 6061 aluminum catch can.
  • 2 silicone hoses.
  • 2 plastic barbed fittings.
  • 4 worm gear clamps.
  • 1 bronze filter.
  • 1 air diverter.
  • 1 internal baffle and rod.
  • 1-3/8” NPT plug.
  • 1 large O-ring.
  • Mounting hardware.

Features

  • Internal air diverter increases air turbulence to improve oil separation.
  • Helps maintain proper octane levels to reduce potential detonation.
  • Fully serviceable filters and cans.
  • High-quality O-ring ensures a tight seal.
  • Thick 2.5mm bracket won’t bend, rattle, or break under heavy abuse.

Calling the Jeep CJ the most popular series of off-road vehicles ever built may still be understating the truth. In addition to being the only model equipped with a V8 engine in any meaningful way, the platform combines the ruggedness of early Jeeps with some of the advancements in horsepower of a more modern era. CJs are truly both fun to own and modify.

In the Cartech book Jeep CJ 1972–1986: How to Build & Modify by Jeep guru Michael Hanssen, you’ll learn about all of the systems that can be upgraded to improve your CJ’s performance. Upgrades include suspension components such as springs, shocks, and steering modifications; driveline components including differentials, transmissions, transfer cases, and axles; engine upgrades including engine swaps; wheel and tire upgrades; aftermarket accessories; armor such as skid plates and bumpers; brake upgrades; and more.

Whether you are looking to get into serious off-roading or just want to inject a little more fun into your classic CJ, Cartech’s Jeep CJ 1972–1986: How to Build & Modify will be a worthwhile and valuable addition to your library or shop.
