- 1981 CJ7 4.2L AMC Inline 6, think it has Carter BBD carb
Hello my name is Lorenzo. I just recently recived an 81 CJ7 with all of the california emmisions stuff on it. I live in colorado and there is no emmision laws present. Upon closer inspection I noticed that the six tubes coming out of the exhaust manifold had cracks at the base. So I unscrewed that pice and plug up the holes with six seperate bolts. Not knowing that the bbd carb runs off the vacum from the exhaust manifold, it now runs like . So i disconected all of the emmision hoses and it wont even start now. I have heard that I can buy a diffrent carb that does not need a vacum to run and preform a nutter by-pass and this should fix the problem. Is this true? If so what is a cheap carb and way of doing all of this. Thanks, ZO
