Listened to sharp and jeffy.

removed the tank and here is the unit inside.  


The Top picture I have no clue what it is, it wasn't even hooked up.  The unit - i know it is mechanical at least... making some progress as a computer guy :D

The top pic is a breather for the tank.  Although that tank doesn't seem to have a place for it.

Are you going to try to swap a MPFI pump in there or are you going to remove it and go external?

Ok did a little digging and at the napa site it give fuel pump specifications.

It is a little weird.

Also the two pumps look a lot alike, they may even just be able to be swaped out I would take the YJ Pump in and see if the XJ looks like it would fit.

Well the book says it needs 19-39, there was 0 pressure.  I went to release it and 1 drop just plopped out and tank full.

how many miles did you put on it with the mixture lean?
if you run it like that it can burn the cyl head gasket (best case scenario if not cracking the head, less likely but it happens sometimes)

only drove it 7 miles.
Here is a picture of brand new oil (on right) after only 5 minutes in my jeep and taken from the oil filter.  The left is the same oil just not ran in my jeep.  Out of the bottle. Hopefully it is just that and not the oil pump as well. I know jeeps are made not bought, but damn would a been cheaper to buy a new one lol

that just looks like it has dye in it, if it's coolant in the oil it would foam. doesnt look like coolant either, it's too dark. Are you missing coolant?

Not sure if there is a dye but it was in my engine a max of 10 minutes.  Did an oil change.  Ran it for 5 minutes then pulled the filter and dumped that stuff out.  We did it a previous times and saw bubbles so we wanted to try to replicate.  Color the same but not bubbles but still "0" oil pressure.
