I think Irob has some pics on his site http://fsjeep.homestead.com/TFI_Upgade.html. If that doesn't work for you I can snap some pics of mine and email them to you. I have done the complete TFI conversion and to be honest didn't notice a big difference. But for less than $100 it is good insurance. Plus it looks way cool compared to the old stuff. Let me know if you want me to snap some pics for you.

Ok his page will load now. I messed up the link but it will work now. All his part numbers are for Autozone and Pep Boys. I used Orielly's and gave them the Pep-Boys and Autozone part numbers and they found everything. I did modify my coil bracket to use the TFI coil but other than that it was a piece of cake. I will snap some pics in the moring and send them to you.

Ok here are the picture's as promised. Joe when I say I didn't notice a difference I mean no difference on power. I have no idea if mileage has increased or not. She does start easier but thats all I have noticed. Now on the other had I have sprayed the moter with water (deep puddles = engine bath) and never stalled the motor where before it would get water in the dizzy and die or miss terrible. So maybe that is an improvement. I don't regret doing the upgrade though.
