Well the problem is in the PRK is that if I go with a FI that has the CARB approval I'm good to go. If I Mod the engine with later year parts I have to make the engine just like what it came out of and then take it to a referee station. These guys are hard and if its not perfect I have to do it...

Not sure what the manifold set up and electrical from manifold to O2 set up is. I have a 2 (V) manifold with a ton of EGR stuff all over it in reserve for them telling me to go with something else. A FI is allowed as long as it has a CARB sticker with it and I still don't have to put on a cat...

Well. Even though the numbers were better they were not good enough. Not sure what's going to happen now. depends on the PO. I think a Fuel Inj is going to be in order. which ones are Calif approved and reliable without breaking the bank. Hell If the Po does not want to go that route I may have...

Already posted a couple of pics she took. The desert camie Jeep one the first post of this thread is hers.

It was a cool place to hold a bottle of............ water.

hate to end this thread on a sad note, but i must let every on know. Since I was under the Jeep working on installing a pipe where the cat was, i also just happend to be where the bolts to the gun racks floor mount was. Sniff, she had me take it out. Noooooooooooo!!! don't make me do it. She...

Well Right now the jeeps name isn't allowed on the forum. LOL I think I have it licked though. Not sure what was going on last night but I have every thing ready. the timing does waver by a degree or so. Not going to worry about that right now. Got her up to 83 tonight. Pretty good from a barely...

Well I know the air cleaner gasket is bad. So bad in fact that its laying in my yard next to the driveway. I have not got around to buying or making one. Kind of thought it would come with the rebuild kit and it didn't. I don't think any thing has actually happend that would cause any of the...

Basically what is happening is every time the #1 plug triggers the timing light the timing mark is about 20 degrees retarded from the last time the light was triggered. The dist is tight. everything was good till i removed the flow restricted cat.I will have to admit that i left the vacuum...

Ok I couldn't wait. Plugged the vacuum line that goes to the vac advance and it smoothed out. But instead of the timing mark bouncing all over the place it moved slowly clockwise( looking from the front), all the way around. used some starter fluid spray I sprayed the vac lines. no change till I...

Well I'll give that a shot tomorrow after work then. Thanks Policemonkey161. Jim

I just cut the cat out and started it running open pipe from where the cat was attached next to the transfer case. The timing mark is all over the place. Do I need to connect the muffler to time it. Vacuum advance is disconnected from the distributer.

Holy Cow!! No Cat needed. Right there in front of my eyes the whole time. Out comes the saws-all.

After calling every smog place in town and never getting a definitive answer on the needed equipmet, why cant these guys commit to an answer, I started calling people i knew to see if anyone actually knew a smog tech. i found one and had him ask his friend if I needed a cat. Lo and behold the...

Backing it to 11 made it run som much smoother at Idle and it settled in at 740 or so all by itself when i got it there. I wonder how it even got like that. The hold down was very tight so it didn't just slip around. On eof these days I'll be through with the discovery and learning period and...

A tune up, carb rebuild, new vacuum lines, new fuel sending unit and fuel lines have increased the reliability and performance of the CJ. Speed has increased from 55 max to 75 mph. I used an infrared thermometer and measured the inlet and outlet of the cat last night and verified that the cat...

Other than the stray wires and the need to get behind the dash, I think I'm doing pretty good right now. Rebuilt the carb last night and replaced most of the vacuum lines. When we got it we were able to nurse it up to 55 on the highway. With new plugs wires and rotor and the carb rebuild top...

As far as the behind the dash wiring A pic of a bowl of spaghetti would be easier to trace out. This weekend I removed 4 splices that just pulled apart. # wire runs had about 2 foot of wire coiled up and taped against the harness and there's the two wires that don't go anywhere but are factory...

The behind the dash scene on this vehicle has seen better days. I intend on pulling it off so I can reach back and trace the wires easier. I found 3 factory connectors and 4 caveman blade terminals not going anywhere in total. Everything on the dash works, all the lights and gauges except for...

LOL I didn't even pay attention to the date. Sorry guys and gals. How I got that far back into the archives I will never know. But MudderChuck mentioned some things I would have never thought of so it wasn't a waste of time for me anyways. JIm
