AFTER PULLING MY HAIR OUT, LOOKING MANY PLACES FOR THE MYSTERY BOX SINCE THE WIRING LOOKS TO BE FACTORY GOING INTO THE WIRE LOOMS---YA RECKON THAT'S A EARLY "ECM" OR CALIFORNIA STANDARDS?
TO MAYBE RULE IT OUT---NORMALLY ON A LATER CJ, THE ECM IS UP UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH UP IN AROUND THE HEATER BOX---DO YOU SEE A MASS OF WIRES AND AN ALUMINUM BOX UP UNDER THERE?
IF YOU ARE EMISSIONS TESTED IN YOUR AREA--I CANNOT SEE THIS PASSING W/ ALL OF THE OVER THE YEARS MODIFYING AND ELIMINATIONS THAT IT COULD PASS.
IF YOU ARE NOT TESTED, MY BELIEF IS IF YOU CAN MAKE IT RUN AS EFFICIENTLY AS POSSIBLE, YOU ARE AT LEAST TRYING TO BE "GREEN"
YOU ONLY NEED 2 VACUUM LINES TO MAKE IT RUN WELL--3 IF YOU KEEP THE EGR HOOKED (IT IS NOT NECESSARY, AS HEADERS WOULD COMPLETELY ELIMINATE IT) ---EVERYTHING ELSE CAN BE CAPPED OR PLUGGED
THAT LITTLE FOREST OF VACUUM LINES YOU GOT PLUGGED W/ SCREWS COULD BE COMPLETELY SCREWED OUT OF THE INTAKE AND A BRASS OR STEEL PLUG INSTALLED IN THE HOLE. WITHOUT A FURTHER BACK PIC, LOOKS LIKE THE REMAINING LINE IS TO THE EGR
THE '79 CARB I MENTIONED ON DECEMBER 6 WOULD ELIMINATE THE (PROBABLY INOPERABLE STEPPER) COMPUTER CARB YOU MAY HAVE NOW---WITH SO MUCH OF THE STUFF DISABLED
THAT CARB IS MOST LIKELY NOT DOING WHAT IS WAS INTENDED TO DO, AND THE ADDITIONAL STUFF THAT WAS INCORPORATED IN (FROM A '79) USUALLY DON'T MOVE AFTER THIS MANY YEARS. THE '79 IS SO MUCH SIMPLER TO ADJUST/ REBUILD/ AND YOU WON'T HAVE TO REDO THE WHOLE JEEP TO MAKE IT WORK, THE BBD WORKED FINE ON THE JEEP YEARS BEFORE THEY TRIED TO MAKE IT GREENER
STILL AIN'T GOT THE GAS LINES FIGURED OUT?
IN YOUR PRESENT CONDITION, I'D SAY YOU MIGHT GET 10 MPG WITH YOUR PASSENGER DOOR TANK!
