Stainless headers or an Optima... No room in the front due to the A/C compressor.


She's back on the road! Got after it tonight (last night got to busy with my daughters car and some storms rolling through). Made up the two fuel lines, hooked them to the filter and carb, tightened everything up (double checked everything) hung the battery and fired her up!

I have a couple of things to do yet. I will add an Adel clip to the corner of the battery box to keep the hose from rubbing. About where my finger is here.

Yup, looks a little neater then the as received photo...
Tonight.

When I started the swap.

She rolled over for about 10 seconds before coming to life, I didn't even touch the throttle! No leaks and it looks like I didn't mess up the plug wire order when I was changing those out! I will do some adjustment on the carb after I get some miles on it. The engine fires up and idles just fine with the out of the box settings on the carb.
I took about a 4 mile test drive and the throttle response is crisp and MUCH better then with the wasted QJ. I kinda wish that carb had been okay just to compare. I also got two thumbs up in that 4 mile drive...
