Thanks tons you guys! She "forced" me to work on it today while she mowed! She said she wants it back on the road and if I was helping mow it wasn't getting fixed! I love my wife!


Here are a few pics of what I've been doing with the carb swap.
This is the original QJ, which is junk. Has a melted booster in the main body. The fuel line was junk too...

This is the intake with the "melted" aluminum dripped on it.

This all just peeled off. Don't know what happened, the car was running and driving when I pulled the carb off...
I figured I would do a tune-up and run new fuel lines while doing the rebuild and, now that I am swapping to a different carb, the fuel line change is mandatory. I am waiting for fuel fittings to be delivered from Jegs. Won't be here till Monday though. I am running black AN fittings and black braided hose.
I got most of the carb and tune-up work done today. I had to get an adapter to mount the square bore carb on the QJ manifold and I also decided to try a 1" phenolic space under that. Here is everything mocked up.

Right now the carb sits almost 2" higher then the QJ did.
Here is the new carb all mounted and hooked up.

With the air cleaner in place. The QJ had to run a spacer on the air cleaner so it would clear the radiator hose. This set up doesn't need the spacer anymore.

I ran new plug wires but hadn't gotten the wire loom kit from Taylor yet. I got that today and will get the wires tidied up tomorrow. I also have to do the wiring for the electric choke.
Also did a bunch of cleaning while I was under there. Cleaned up most of the hoses, ran some new vacuum lines and cleaned up the routing on a few others.
