81 CJ7-Webber Install Comments Needed.

[81fun]

I'm reviving my 81 CJ7 and want to add the WEBBER carb, 32/36 unit. Not interested in EFI of any kind! The jeep has the 258cuin engine with original Carter carb and about 3k on the rebuilt engine done about 20 years ago. Mainly use for off-roading only. Family and work issues result in 12 years sitting blocks, but ran fine before that. I'm replacing a lot on the jeep [distributor, plugs and cables, radiator, hoses, all fluids, fuel pump and filters, and others], but doing the carb myself after replacing several components associated with the engine running kind of makes me nervous. So any issues to be aware of going with the webber?

I found the MC 2100 to be a better carb all around especially off road. I ran a 2100 on my 85 with the AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l for almost 20 years
