Stock Or Not?

[Comanche_Fanatic]

I'm new to the 2.8 V6 motors. I don't know of this carburetor is stock, it appears to be a weber. There are a few connectors near it and nowhere to hook it up to.

 

If anyone knows please share

My experience with GM engines is that they were exclusively using Rochester carbs, but in/around 86 I'm pretty sure they'd switched the 2.8 to injection. I don't know what they'd be selling to AMC or what AMC would do to them after, but I'd expect a 2.8 from the '80's to have some version of the Varajet, if it had a carb at all.

I'd say with about 95% confidence that the Weber is not the stock carburetor. I increase that to 99% if you've got vacuum lines or anything else going to it with no place to connect.

If I have to guess at a stock carb, I'd say Varajet E2SE. I think was used on US cars after '81, but afaik we never got it in Canada. It's a computer controlled carb, but that's about all I can tell you.

Mine had the Rochester 2SE 2bbl carb on it which looked stock. I don't believe the Jeeps got the E2SE but I could be wrong. There are a TON of vacuum lines that plug into it that gets annoying real fast. Below is a picture of what mine looked like if it helps any.

That looks like the Rochester 2SE and yes jeep did have the E2SE as that's unfortunately what I have .

All 1986 2.8 V6 engines had carbs. The Rochester 2SE for 49 states and Canada. LaLa land had the E2SE carb. The 2.5 were TBI.
