Another message I'd meant to reply to and never did...

the list's wisdom has always been that TB spacers do absolutely nothing
for the 318/360, but the Jeep 4.0L does actually respond very favorably to
a TB spacer. On a multiport fuel injected motor it really shouldn't, but
apparently it does. Whether the Iron Duke is more like the 4.0L or more
like the 5.2/5.9L, I don't know.
