Ok. Yes. Sorry bout the (-). That is how it goes, towards the passenger side. When I shine my light my mark is on the 6th mark. That should be 8

Current vac is 19.5. My mixture screws are out now about 4 1/4 full turns. Sound right?

You have made me rethink myself. Ha ha. If I am looking at the front of the vehicle, to the right there are the timing marks starting from the bottom(closest to the growing) I beloved the values should be +2,0,-2,-4,-6,-8,-10,-12,-14,-16 81cj7 258 auto. That's the numbers I am going off of...

I will check the timing belt later but she didn't have any of these issues before the carb swap. She ran fine unless I went over a speed bump where she would stall due to the well engineered design of the carters.

......UPDATE...... After replacing the rear u joint I decided to time her again. She is currently @-8 ,850 rpm at idle. Spudders still on initial advance and spudders a little at higher rpms at approx 35-40 mph. I did put the fun distrib in and replaced the wires and cleaned up the dist cap...

LMFAO!!!!! Just to let you know how much better and powerful this rig runs, I just blew out my rear u joint!!!!! This 31 yr old beast has been in smog mode for so long, she ain't use to the power. Don't know about you but my sides hurt from laughing.

My daily update. I put the new distrib in. Know where close to where the old one was. Still have a bit of hesitation of the line. I think timing needs to be advanced (thanks 808). Will fool with it today and keep posted. Thanks again you guys. Just a side note to anyone who does the dist swap...

No man. Thank you.

Ha ha ha. I got it and had no backup vehicle at the time. The jeep was my work vehicle. I had no down time and was scared crapless to fix something that wasn't broken. But when I changed jobs and could drop wifey at work and drop kids at school with her car, this gave me a great opportunity to...

Can't remember. It was almost two years ago. I know I told him daily driver but do not remember anything about elevation. Hopefully knowing where he was shipping it, he could have put two and two together. But then again I thought it would be somewhat set up.

I meant dist upgrade next

Tell you what. LISTEN to the elderly. They really know their stuff. It's funny you say "one" size too big and mines a 48 when everyone else recommends a 47.

I have heard 47 is the optimal jet with a 1.08 Venturi carb. Mine has #48 jets. I have no idea why. That could very well be the last and final issue with the carb. I'm just happy as crap that a non mechanic could (with yalls help of course) get this swap done and I feel as though it's done...

Hey 808, I may have found my brand new oil leak. Looking under the beast, I see oil as far up as the distributor. I may not have tightened the bracket up enough. Hope that's it.

Still not sure. Haven't got that far. I thought if I felt comfortable with the carb settings, manipulating the dist would be a breeze. Hope I didn't just jinx myself.

Alright the verdict is in. I counted the 1/4 turns it's was set at when i got it and screwed them in. Pass side was out 9 1-4 (quarter) turns and drive side was out 13 1/4 (quarter)turns. I started out at 2.5 full turns on each and hooked my vac gauge up and was at 17.5. Backed her out another...

Ok. Timed to 850 rpm -9 idle. I turned the mix screws in to see what they were set at. Right one was 13 1/4. Left was 9 1/4. What's a good start. How much should I bring them out to start?

Nutter complete. Now to retime to -8, 850rpm at idle

Not yet. Just wanted to get this thing goin good before I jumped into that. I think I can only handle one problem at a time. Ha ha

Ahh.... I will do thee bypass tonight and try timing again in the morn.
