1050991 Some questions on my ongoing problem. My Vacuem advance tube is hooked up straight to the base of the carb from the distributer. I am not running ported vacuem. The CTO switch is in the intake,but the outlets are plugged. This is how it was with old carb. since my air tubes/etc. are...

1051183 What engine is in the CJ-5? Most all vehicles (light duty)after 1975 were equiped with cats. However, I have seen two CJ's with "non-catalyst" stickers on the dash. It was a '76 and a '77 I believe. These CJ's were equiped with the 232 CID six cylinder. All 258's and 304's in CJ's...

1051229 I'll sum up where I stand.(In a bucket of tears!) The engine is my original 304 that was rebuilt, bored over .030, balanced, etc. by a local engine shop. *Added Performer EGR manifold,PerformerEGR carb. model #1400(600cfm) * Added Competition cam: Model CL10-201-4, Cam grind #260H *...

1051327 I just finished cramming the exhaust back up under my Jeep. The two local opinions of the day are: " Internal leak in the manifold causing lean condition. Possibly a warped aluminum intake." and "Need to get more fuel to it. Go up two jet sizes in the carb." I've been re thinking the...

1051338 Thanks joeycj5! Sounds good. I'll jet up the carb. first. I'm getting pretty tired of intake gasket replacements. I'm probably keeping factory production up! Since mine is the emission carb. I'm not sure what size my current jets are. Did you have alternating pipes glow? Or all of...

1051650 Give it a try! Is your emissions test a visual or tailpipe sniff or both? My old CJ had headers and dual exhaust with no cats and I could pass the "sniffer". But you need to be well tuned. Set carb to "lean best idle", change your oil,have fresh gas, and get it tested when it's warm...

1051654 Do you have a metal tag on the valve cover? I know if they are chrome add ons the chances are slim. Those numbers tell you everything about your motors size, build date, etc. AMC put the 360 in Wagoneers, Cherokees, and trucks. It's a drop in motor for a CJ with no bellhousing...

1051658 Are you saying the cost is too high for a CHevy V-8 or an AMC V-8? I would think an AMC V-8 block engine would not be much more than a 258. I've had both and the V-8 did just as well on fuel mileage. AMC changed some things on '81 and newer 258's. 1981 started the plastic valve cover...

1051728 Around here the joke is usually on me! Try the "emissions passer" in a bottle in addition to the other things. It's sold at Pep Boys etc. It helps! Your close! I think you can get by.[addsig]

1052586 Look for the factory service manual (not the owner's manual) for your rig. I got mine from Leon Rosser several years back. It's complete! They may still have them for your Jeep![addsig]

1053093 Check into getting a factory service manual. Leon Rosser or Collins Bros. may have what you need. My book for the '80 has wiring diagrams in the back. Is your turn signal slow because your battery is weak?( Caused by the horn problem.)[addsig]

1064814 While spraying your carb. cleaner listen for changes in RPM. Use ether or WD-40 and spray around the base and throttle shafts. These shafts can wear and cause vacuam leaks! Cheaply rebuilt carbs. do not replace these. Or it could be hoses or lines. And there's a lot of them! :-) [addsig]

1048716 My '80 CJ-7 has a rebuilt 304 V-8. The engine was bored over .030 and has an Edelbrock Performer intake, Edelbrock Performer carb.(500 cfm), a mild Competition Cam, in-frame headers, and dual exhaust with cats/flowmasters. My re-occuring problem is the header tubes turning "glowing red"...

1049834 Still can't get my CJ to cooperate. My 304 w/Edelbrock Performer intake and carb. is still turning the headers orange after 5 to 6 minutes of running. FINALLY got through to Edelbrock tech line! They suggested metering rods part #1449. No luck! Tried timing anywhere between 6 and 10...

1052575 I'm back at my Jeep trying to trace any mistakes or miscues. (See hot headers/lean carb.?) I was checking the timing marks and the position of the rotor button. My '80 Jeep service manuel describes the procedure to line up the marks if your engine was rotated while the dist. was off. I...

1057876 My frame off rebuild is 95% complete on my '80 CJ-7. I purchased a hard top that I'm going to install. I have all the pre-drilled holes for the top on my Jeep. Is there any foam or weather stripping that goes on the bottem of the hard top. I really don't want to scratch up my new paint...

1075799 I know this topic has been covered somewhere! I am helping my buddy put a Chevy 350 and(hopefully) a Turbo 350 automatic in his '76 CJ-7. He purchased the adapters needed for his Dana 20. The big problem is the front driveshaft does not seem like it will clear the transmission? And his...
