- 86 CJ7 Laredo Black
The Jeep was totally gone thru, 124k original miles on body,
New Crate engine and Trans, Weber Carb, Interior replaced back to stock, Dana 44 Rear, Dana 35 Front, 2.5 " Suspension Lift 1" body 33-12.50 Tires on Mickey Thompson Wheels, New Dupont Paint
I have an 86 CJ7 inline six AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l with a 5 spd Transmission currently running a weber carb. I think its running a tad rich but nothing extreme and I get fair gas mileage considering its a jeep and im running 33-12.50 MTR's
I only know of 2 kits for the fuel injection conversion
-------kit 1-Howell throttle body fuel injection kit for 6 and 8 cyl AMc engines, for my jeep this kit runs 1200$ basically from the 4wd.com catalog
--------kit 2- Mopar Multiport fuel injection kit for AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l 6cyl Engines
this kit is 2750$ basically.
I have been told by other jeepers the mopar kit is heads above the howell, granted it is a bit over double the cost, but I want this to be done right if I got this way, I didnt rebuild my jeep I know some will slam me for not building it myself but i found the year color scheme etc and built almost exactly the way I wanted and for the condition and parts on the machine I got I feel a very good deal,
So can anyone help me shed some light on this mod, I would expect better HP/torque possibly and better fuel economy. I have had zero problems with my weber as I know some people have, issues with the carb is not the reason for my interest in this mod,
Id love to hear opinions on both sides for it, Even if you think is stupid and over priced thats fine just tryn and backup your post with some facts or personal experience.
Thx
lots fellas
