    87 Hard Top

    I like the YJ latch better myself. It's so much easier. I have someone with a CJ coming to look at it tomorrow.

    87 Hard Top

    Did a dumb thing and sold my 87 Wrangler. The new owner never picked up the hard top. It is now for sale. Asking $350. The only things wrong with it is the rear window defroster wires are not connected and the inside light cover is missing. Black. It's in Texarkana, Arkansas.

    87 258 engine replacement

    I don't know about the fuel injected motors, but any 258 block from 75 to 90 would bolt to the bell housing. Before 75, there were some changes. I have a 75 block with my 87 head, water pump, intake, exhaust, power steering pump, alternator, distributor, etc bolted on. The only other change I...

    87 yj won't Start Need Help please

    I'm not familiar with the 4 cylinder. Does it have a pickup coil in the distributor like the 6 cylinder does? I've had that go out on me before and it won't spark without it.

    25ish mph top speed

    Sounds good. I'm lucky to get 75 going downhill with a tail wind out of mine. But as short as the thing is, 75 gets a little squirrelly anyway.

    25ish mph top speed

    Personally, I wouldn't be too quick to blame the transmission. No load at 5k and under load 2.5k and rough. I would still think it's something to do with carburation, timing, or ignition. Not sure where to start though. Are your intake manifold bolts torqued? I've had them loosen off. Look in...

    4 carbs and a jeep

    I agree with the 2100. That could have been linkage or the high idle screw adjustment on the choke may have been messing with you. Mine runs great. No ideas about the carter though.

    Ignition Control Module location - 1988 YJ

    Driver's side under the radiator overflow or the windshield washer bottle. Work fried my brain today and I can't remember which it is.

    Need help to id type of engine

    The closest I've found on the second number is 87-90 258. But the number I found was 8933002665. The other is a build code. The first number is the year, the second two are usually the month, the letter is the motor type, and the last two are the day. I don't see any sense to your numbers. An...

    My carb hates me.

    If the shafts are worn out it will suck air around them too. I love mine. It runs and idles great. I just have to remember to keep my foot out of it. It will suck the gas if I have to get on it. Of course, any carb will do that.

    mc2100 trouble

    One other thought. Are any of your intake manifold bolts loose? I'm just trying to think of all the things I've dealt with since I bought my jeep. They aren't torqued real tight, so don't just crank them down. I don't remember the specs. That kind of leak may not affect it the way yours is doing...

    mc2100 trouble

    A friend with a torch cut it out of some 3/16 inch plate he had. He just took off the EGR and traced it out. He also had an extra gasket that I used. Are you sure the base of the carb is sealing off? I've heard that the screws on the power valve cover interfere with some brands of the adapter...

    mc2100 trouble

    I accidentally lost my EGR valve. The previous owner had disconnected it anyway. There's a plate over that hole now. It is possible for the leak to be your EGR. It is basically a vacuum operated diaphram that opens up a port and allows some exhaust gas into the intake after the carb. It may be...

    engine identification

    4- 1984 11- November C- 258 2 bbl (4.2L, 76-89) 29- 29th day of the month The year code may have to be verified with a search on the block casting number, but if it's a 4.2, it would probably have to be that. I bet the oil filter for an 84 CJ would be what you need. My 87 has a 75 block in it...

    Thanks for posting the link. I listen to the same guy on AM and kept meaning to sign the petition. You reminded me.

    mc2100 trouble

    I think I am running 46s in mine. It was running way to rich with the 49s that were in it. They may be 47s, but I don't think so. The jets actually aren't used during idle though, except to allow the fuel into the idle circuit. Your mixture screws control the amount of fuel for idle. If the...

    yj shackle replacement

    That's what I did was take the bushings out. I got the outside ones out and then pushed the bolts out along with the inside bushings. I just don't remember how I got the outside bushings out.
