Ignorant question.
Today I finally managed to start Project Jeep Deere for the first time
in several years of building/therapy. The CJ-7 has a new MPFI kit and a new exhaust. My question is this: The new down pipe from the exhaust manifold to the cat has a small 1", or so, tube sticking up a few inches back from the manifold. What is it for? It's been too long since I started the build and I am too excited to crack a book to figure it out. So my post is two-fold 1)I get a question answered and 2) I get to toot my own horn about my first vehicle build. Thanks for helping!

Possibly to pre-heat the air going to the air filter?

That is where the air injection system "upstream" air enters the exhaust system.
The "downstream" air enters in the middle of the cat converter. The MPI system probably doesn't use air injection.

In John Deere Yellow. So, I called up John Deere Corporate headquarters and asked for their coatings division. They referred me to their coating provider, Valspar. I called Valspar and told them I was doing a Jeep project themed in John Deere Green and Yellow and was looking for powdercoat in John Deere Yellow for my wheels. The rep said no problem, they had it and could ship me a 50 pound box of powder. Cool. I ordered it up and waited. It arrived and sat unopened in my shop for 6 months while I saved up for the new American Racing wheels. The day finally arrived and I brought home my 5 brand spanking new wheels and BFGs. After many calls and Googles I made contact with a powdercoater in San Antonio, Texas,who gave me a good price and was willing to take whatever powder left over in trade. He is almost 2 hours away in the Big City. I arranged to drop off the five wheels and powder on my way deer (no pun intended) hunting. He said they'd be ready on my way back through town. Several days later I was back in his shop. I opened the American Racing Wheel box and had a peek. They were nice and shiney and yellow. So I paid the man and drove home. Three days later, I finally had a free moment to really look at them in daylight. I unpacked one and took it outside to hold it up next to the wheel of my 1967 John Deere 4020 and compare. They were the wrong ****ing color. They were yellow allright -John Deere INDUSTRIAL Yellow- as in backhoe yellow, baby **** yellow, pukey golden yellow. NOT the almost lemony yellow I was expecting. ****... After I calmed down and the red hue went away and I could see again and the throbbing in my neck went down and I stopped speaking in tongues and the flaming monkeys quit flying out of my ass and I could remember my own name again and the cows, horses and donkey quit running away and were simply staring at me from across the pasture, I sat down and called that Valspar rep. She was NOT happy to hear from me, as I was having a relapse of flaming monkeys at that particular moment. I asked why the *!>%$#!! she sent me Industrial Yellow when I had explained my project was SPECIFICALLY JD agricultural GREEN & YELLOW. She then explained that Valspar didn't make powdercoat in Agricultural Yellow. Another monkey fit. I explained that I had counted on her expertise and had just ruined 5 brand new aluminum wheels and she was responsible. She explained that she (and her paint tech) didn't recommend using powdercoating on wheels. More red and throbbing. At this point I realized I hadn't helped the situation and probably made things worse with my rosey attitude and monkeys and fits of unintelligable spitting and cursing. I gave up, told her to "have a nice day" and hung up. In desperation I called the powdercoater. I kept calm, the alcoholic beverages helped, anyway, he said he thought it wasn't a total loss and he thought he could help. He said he'd do some checking around and call me back. A couple of hours later, he rang me back and said he could fix the wheels, that he found THE color and would only charge me a hundred bucks to get'r done. I said "Deal" and the rest is history. These babys are double coated. Having an art degree and being an actual arteest, I can say they are as close a yellow, as one could get, to the actual John Deere Brand Agricultural Yellow Enamel, of which I have several gallons of. The firey monkeys are gone and the spitting is over and I'm a happy camper again. -- Member AAAAAAAA American Association Against Acronym Abuse And Also Ambiguity. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |
