Asking about a carb sort a gave it away :) Huh, that would explain the dearth of info turned up when I searched for carb upgrades here. I've since found a Weber WK552 conversion, which includes the proper adapter to put a 32/36 DGEV on a 2.5, but I don't have three hundred bills to lay out for it.. I also kinda prefer homebrewed concoctions anyway. It's more fun that way. So, I suppose that asking what vacuum controls I can toss out of my engine bay may not yield a bunch of results either? The Jeep actually seemed to run well before the catalytic converter plugged up when I was climbing a trail with it. It's got 108,xxx miles on it, and it sat in a field down by a treeline since 2009. Everything seemed pretty original to it, and the vacuum actually worked the shift fork on the front axle, but I locked the collar mechanically to be sure. Anyways, since I don't give a hoot about passing emissions tests, I want to unlock this wheezy little bastard's full laughable potential without rebuilding it. I know that speed parts are nil, but somebody's created something for it..

Hi all, First, I'll come clean and say that I've got an '84 XJ, not and MJ.. However, like my '86 Dodge 4x4, it makes more sense to belong to the Ramcharger site than it does the truck site.. You guys and gals are better suited to my needs than the eighty other more modern Jeep sites. At any rate, having dealt with stoopid computer controlled carbs on my Mopars (Throw over shoulder, do not attempt to find) is there another carb that will swap onto my bone stock '84 2.5? For reference, I do have eight other antiques as daily drivers, so I'm not necessarily looking for long and involved modifications like Renix, or TBI.. I need my garage space for maintaining my junk, and doing side work. There's got to be a relatively simple swap out there.. Carter BBD? (based on cable linkage instead of the BBS rod linkage) Weber DGA/EV? A 20 OZ bottle with pinholes punched in the bottom? Something's got to be better than a computer controlled carb. By the way, I do intend on off roading this thing. Nothing crazy, It's not getting a big lift and 33" tires, it's plenty capable in stock form except for the poorly metered fuel leak dressed up as a carb atop my engine. It will be seeing climbs, and rocks, and mudholes, as well as creeks/rivers. It's a $700 Craigslist Jeep. I'm going to use it as such. Thanks in advance! Matt
