    Wow. Never even heard of that make of carb. Was that what the Jeep came to you with?

    Dead yet again

    Holy crap, that looks exactly like what I did to bolt that coil on. Anyway, I think I PMed this to you earlier, but if you've only got 11ish volts and are "trying to crank"--does it sound any weaker than usual? Because it sounds like that battery is nearly dead. I'd check the battery and...

    YJ hardtop and all the fixins, $700

    YJ hardtop and cart, $525 Found a buyer for the doors and lift. Still have the hardtop and cart. I also used some PB Blaster and a pipe wrench and got the latch loose. It's spring loaded and works pretty well now. Again, it has no lock. The electrical connectors on the lift supports are...

    Weber VS Stock

    As long as you already have the Weber, if you're willing to get it rebuilt or figure out how to do it yourself (likely less trouble than putting the stock carb back on), it's the superior option. The mc2100 is loved because it is cheaper than the Weber and just as effective, iirc. It's...

    Which ignition module works best on a 4.2?

    Dying problem FWIW, I've been driving it for a month and the random dying has not recurred. So if you have that problem and you have an old, cheap, or God forbid old and cheap, ignition module, maybe that's your issue! PS MSD does NOT sell a module for < $100...they're a little out of my...

    Carb swap???

    I don't know anything about Edelbrocks, but I'd be surprised if it had any connection for the stepper motor plug. I put a Weber on mine and let the plug dangle, then eventually cut the wiring to it out of the jeep completely. I assume you have or will Nutter the jeep. With an aftermarket...

    Ah, but: 1) There's a job in Chicago. 2) Sometimes it even rains there.

    TFI ignition upgrade

    Wow, where does that go? I looked at it in the store and it is way too big to replace my PCV valve. What do you do with it?

    YJ hardtop and all the fixins, $700

    Jeep stock wheels, set of 5, $150

    I have five stock 15" wheels off of a 2001 Wrangler. The clear coat is aging and there is a little rash. The original 30" tires are still on them, with just under 40,000 miles on them. Don't think they ever rotated them, so the spare is brand new. One tire has half tread and the others are...

    YJ hardtop and all the fixins, $700

    For sale is one black YJ hardtop with black and brown full doors, along with my fabbed lift and hardtop cart. I'm not sure how old the top is, but I think late 80s. Normal amount of wear for a top that old. I drove with it on the Jeep for about a year and have no complaints. All glass intact...

    1987 yj 4.2

    A Nutter bypass cuts the computer out of the loop so that it can't adjust the ignition timing. If you search on "Nutter bypass" you'll find quite a few descriptions of the procedure. It's just cutting two wires (purple and orange, should be) from the computer (the place in the middle of the...

    1987 yj 4.2

    Only thing I can think of is that the computer is senile. Has this relic (I've got an '87 too...) had a Nutter bypass done?

    TFI ignition upgrade

    Do you mean something like this? O'Reilly Auto Parts - Results for Shopping Search I might, maybe, have a similar problem, and I know the PCV valve on my 258 is getting old.

    Which ignition module works best on a 4.2?

    I've had a problem ever since I bought this heep last year: It will occasionally die for no reason at all...at a stop sign, going 30 down the street, whenever. It's an every several days type of intermittent problem. It has never done it when the engine has been running more than 15 min, and...

    Need help with tfi upgrade and nutter bypass

    They are definitely not. A capacitor is basically two metal plates close together that store charge. It can dampen variations in current and do many other things. A resistor simply resists current flow, so that at a given voltage a circuit will pass less current.

    electrical!!!!

    I had a very similar problem (it would crank when I attached the battery cable with the key in my pocket...I think I have a thread with that or a similar name on here somewhere from last year). I think I had to replace the whole starter relay. The old battery had been leaking and I believe it...

    Best Carb to buy for the 258

    I have a Weber 34/34 DGEV which I ordered from Quadratec and it seems to work fine, except I've had issues with the choke. I think it binds and sticks sometimes, and the spring can't always make it move the way it should. I also put a fuel pressure regulator on it and found out the recommended...
