My new (only about 2 years-old) Pro Billet Distributor for the Inline 6 somehow got some moisture under the cap. I live in Florida FYI. Anyway, after the Jeep (86 CJ 7) failed to fire, I checked the cap and found that the rotor is fried - literally. The rotor is melted and the cap...

RE: Laughter.... the color of life I gaped the plugs to 0.45; engine sounds better but at idle there is still a little 'pop'. I haven't heard anything at full throttle. I'm stumped at this point. Any advice? Thanks.

Yes, the 'pop' sounded like and intake backfire, particularly noticeable at idle. The deposits were black to grey and tough to remove with a pretty sturdy wire brush. As for the gapping, I can try to open them up to your recommended ranges and see. I'll let you both know - thanks!

RE: Interiors thru the years. Hi. I have an 86 CJ7 with a 4.2 liter, Holley 4-barrel, MSD 6 and HEI. My spark plugs are completely crapped out after 1000 miles. I noticed a 'pop' in one of the cylinders, pulled the plugs and they looked like garbage. They are gapped at 0.045. Any ideas if...

RE: front locker installed Thanks to all who replied; I spoke with Pacesetter and they have a specific gasket for their headers. Going to see if that helps.

I have an I-6, 4.2, Offenhauser Exhaust Manifold and Pacesetter Headers in my 86 CJ7, any advice for the appropriate gasket for the headers? I have a slight leak and want to solve this problem. I'd appreciate any advice the group might have. Thanks.

RE: game Long story short; after some further testing what would happen is that if you really stomped on the throttle the secondary's would open up and it ran fine with no engine bog, so I fooled around with adjusting the carb. Finally just changed the primary jets on the Holley and it runs...

Re: RE: Engine won Thanks, but what is the rationale, do you believe that there could be some 'control' issue, misfire perhaps? Thanks for the advice, will do and let you know.

RE: Some custom work for ya... It simply stops revving. As for the catalytic converter; let's just say, I haven't gotten to that part of the rebuild just yet.

Meyer 6 1/2 foot snow plow I have recently put a professionally rebuilt 6 cyl in my 86 CJ7. I run an Offenhauser Manifold, Pacesetter headers, HEI, MSD 6, T-4 transmission, 390 CFM 4 Barrel, and the timing is set at 5. Engine idles at about 700 RPM and sounds just fine, no pops or backfire...
