hi i have a picture i can email it to you, my email is
[email protected]
and i will send attachment of picture, it has 3 types, one with no power steering, one with power steering, and one with power steering and a/c hope this will help

bad fuel pump can cause this or plugged fuel filter but i believe they are one unit

Wire on oil sending unit may have fallen off or sensor itself may have gone bad. Check both. If engine has no tapping noises, likely it's not a pressure problem.

Most likely yes. One thing about the older Jeeps is that they did not change the models much from year to year. If the two jeeps had the same engine, they are probably nearly 100% interchangeable.

I know that a lot of starters will not start quickly and draw a lot of power if the engine is up to temp. Try a higher CCA battery (Cold Cranking Amp) Battery, your bat may be to low of a rating. If it has a remotely mounted solenoid, not on the starter. If it does it may be mounted somewhere that it gets to hot, relocate to a cooler portion of the engine bay.

the mounts are in the same place on the block its the mounts themselves that are different
