THE REASON I WANTED PICS - IS SO I COULD SEE WHAT IS STILL LEFT OF YOUR ORIGINAL SET-UP
THAT EXPENSIVE STEPPER CARB (CARTER BBD LATER YEARS) IS USELESS IF THE COMPUTER STUFF/ SENSORS/ PARTS ARE NON-FUNCTIONING, MISSING, BROKEN, OR MODIFIED. THE AGE OF THE PIECES/ PARTS MAY PLAY A PART IN THEIR FUNCTIONING
IN OTHER WORDS, THE CARB WILL NOT DO WHAT IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO, IF IT CANNOT RECEIVE INFO TO THE COMPUTER TO TELL IT WHAT TO DO
HAVE NO FEAR, IT WILL STILL PERFORM LIKE AN OLDER JEEP, LIKE PRIOR TO '81, WITH A OLDER STYLE CARTER BBD, LIKE ONE FOR A '79
MUCH OF THE EXTRA STUFF CAN BE REMOVED ALONG WITH GETTING RID OF A BUNCH OF VACUUM LINES. YOUR JEEP WILL PERFORM WELL WITH ONLY 2 VACUUM LINES FOR THE ENGINE. IF YOU HAVE POWER BRAKES, MAKE THAT 3 LINES
YES, THEY WENT UP - BUT YOU CANNOT BUY A REBUILT ONE AT AN AUTO PARTS STORE FOR LESS THAN $279 (I LOOKED AROUND A BIT)
"NEW" MEANS - VIRGIN - NO WORN PARTS!
I CAN HELP YOU THRU REMOVING STUFF IF WANNA PURSUE THIS OPTION
LOOK AT MY "MODIFIED" '77 - I UPGRADED MY PRESTOLITE IGN SYSTEM TO "MOTORCRAFT" WHICH CAME IN 1979s ON UP - I HAVE MADE SO MANY THINGS ON THIS JEEP "USER FRIENDLIER"
BUT LOOK AT HOW LITTLE STUFF IS NEEDED TO MAKE IT RUN GOOD
I TOOK OVER 100 PICS WHEN I INSTALLED MY "CLOYES" TRU-ROLLER TIMING CHAIN SET. BELOW ARE A FEW THAT REFLECT HOW LITTLE CRAP IS NEEDED ON A 258. YOURS COULD LOOK REALLY CLOSE TO MINE IF YOU DONE SOME "FIXIN"
I DRIVE THIS ONE AND MY WILLYS ALL OF THE TIME (MY PRIMARY TRANSPORTATION). I GET RIGHT AT 18 MPG WITH MY HOLLEY AND I HAVE POWER IF I "GET ON IT"
DOWNSIDE IS, THE CARB WAS NEARLY $400 AND THE INTAKE MANIFOLD WAS NEARLY THE SAME
WITH A CARTER BBD, I NORMALLY GOT ABOUT 15 MPG, SOMETIMES 16. I HAD TO BEAT THAT! - SO I GOT THE HOLLEY
YOUR TURN
