    CJ7 runs sluggish, need help

    1045804 I had a similar problem with 80 CJ7 258 auto. I did several things that really helped a lot... First thing I did was to replace the ignition system with a TFI setup, check out the How To Section ($85). Then I replaced all the vacuum lines($4)...fixed a few leaks and missings lines...

    In the market for a new cat-back exhaust...

    1045990 Does anyone know of a cat back system for a 80 CJ7 258 auto? Everything I have found seems to exclude 1980, usually 81-86 is all I can find. Is there any difference between 80 and 81-86 exhaust?[addsig]

    Body Rust...Repair or Replace

    1046086 The more I think about it the more I know I need to replace the panels...as PerformanceTruck&Auto pointed out, they are structural. If I only repair it now I will be going through this same thing sometime in the future, might as well put my energy in the right direction. Now down to...

    soft tops

    1046586 You could always get a Bestop TigerTop, it comes with all the hardware you need plus soft doors. I think they are about $530 at Quadratec. The only real draw back is the side and back windows are not removable, they only can be rolled up, and you might have a hard time getting other...

    CJ7 What Vacuum Hoses do I need to have hooked up

    1049293 Don't forget your power brake booster...able to run and able to stop. There are a bunch of lines you don't really need but like jeepmastr1 said PVC, distributor, EGR should be your main concern to get it running.[addsig]

    1048791 Does anyone have one or at least heard one? Thinking about getting one, but for $240 from Quadratec it seemed too good to be true.[addsig]
