Hmm... haven't researched that one. Maybe you can strip off all the electrical junk and have a straight up carb? I think the biggest concern is the jet and venturi size. Make sure it'll run rich enough for you engine. I posted this before, but 1.08 venturi size, and 48 jets is way too lean for...

You must use a gasket made for the carb, not the adapter. I think there is usually a big, 1/4 in. thick, rubber/cork/whatever gasket that is between the 2100/2150 and a V8 manifold. If you find one, use it; it clears those powervalve screws. If you just use a regular 2100/2150 gasket, then you...

Thanks for the info! I'll call him and try to weasel some more information from him. He doesn't know Jeep stuff well. I doubt he can even tell me from what year the transmissions came; they were "parts" that came with his Jeep.

My T5 is toast. I found a rebuilt T18/D20 assumed to be from a late 70's Jeep with a "V8 bellhousing" for a decent price. I only spoke to the seller, so I haven't looked at the transmission yet. Another is available, too. Some questions: Can a T5 bellhousing be modified to fit a Jeep T18...

I have a mc2100 on mine. It's a 1.08 with 48 jets, and it runs way too lean. My spark plugs are white. I'll also say that getting the carb and its adaptor to seal perfectly is a pain. I've taken the carb off at least 8 times, re-sealed everything, cut new gaskets, and I still have a leak...

Bump. :D I completely take back what I said. I was typing out of my :bootyshake:. At least on my 258, 1.08 is way too lean. I have 48 sized jets, an Edelbrock triangle filter, and an old muffler for exhaust. My plugs are glossy white, my engine pings, and the exhaust will burn your eyes from...

Eh, musical taste is subjective, and I don't think cover music is really any hope. Original stuff is where it's at. I will agree, though. I hate the music my friends like. In fact, if it's played on the radio, I'm not going to like it at all. I hate sellout music.

Hemi!

I looks worse, but it's better off.

If you price it out, an exhaust shop might cost less than a bolt-in, DIY exhaust kit from Magnaflow or whomever. Just tell them what you want, and they'd probably weld up a nice system for you. It just wouldn't surprise me if those kits just jerked people around. Just a thought.

My tie rod and steering arm are pretty tight. Not much help, but way to get an old Commando. They're sweet.

Hi, and thank you for asking me for info. Everyone says the 1.08 (287cfm) Motorcraft carb is the best for the 4.2. I have one and it runs lean with size 48 jets. I don't have much for an air filter, and I do not have a cat in my exhaust; maybe that leaned it out too much? I am trying to find a...

Hey, I have the same paperwork for my CJ7. It's pretty interesting.

My 7 does that sometimes, too. I just add it to the Weird Noise List.

Bet it's diff fluid. That happened to me, too.
