Someone asked if I could provide a link on Amazon to the parts I used. I bought everything at the local hardware store and auto repair store, old fashioned brick and mortar. I would try typing these items into Amazon: -1/4" MIP x 3/8" barb brass connector. - 1/2" fuel line - 3/8" fuel line.
I wondered why the Jeep was designed this way with 2 different size openings. A mechanic told me they did that on purpose to affect the way the air flows from one end to the other. So, it seems it isn't meant to be one continuous size hose. But, I don't know how much of a difference it would make in real life if you altered it to just one size all the way through. Check out "Boyle's law" online. Assuming the gas in the hose remains at the same temp at the other end then with the lower volume in the hose there will be higher pressure at the side of the intake compared to the valve cover. But, I don't know if the gases in coming out of an XJ Valve cover behave like "ideal gases" so maybe I'm not properly applying this rule of physics.
I didn't pick it on purpose. It was trial and error at the hardware store to find a connector that fit on both tubes. That was just what I happened to find.
@@highwayxj9397 It was just trial and error. You'd think the straight 1/2 x 3/8 would work but it didn't. I looked it up and MIP stands for "Male Iron Pipe" meaning it's male threading. They don't actually have to made of iron anymore. I also typed in "1/4 mip dimensions" to Google and it said that outside diameter is 0.54 inches. That would explain why it fit for the 1/2 inch hose.

Could of just got a new fitting for the intake that was 1/2 or 9/16 and had one size hose....

How much horsepower did it add?
I don't know. The reason I wanted to replace the original was because the rubber adaptor kept cracking. The fuel line hose is a lot stronger.
At least 4
Probably 20 and 30 foot pounds of torque. Lol
Guaranteed for an extra 100 horse purrs.
Thank you
You're welcome. Thanks for watching.
VERY GOOD
Thanks.
Why mlp?

@@DIYwithDrJeffwhy quarter inch if it’s a 1/2 hose?

Has it collapsed under vacum with the heat of the engine bay?
No. The line is thick rubber reinforced with braiding.
