I have been doing a fair amount of reading lately about upgrading to fuel injection. In my research on fuel injection I have come across a bunch of posts that say the Motorcraft 2100 carb is a huge upgrade. I need help deciding which route to take.
Here is what I'm looking for:
My CJ is a 'second vehicle' that is not daily driven. I want something that starts and idles without feathering the gas pedal for 10 minutes until it's warmed up. I want to be able to start it, let it warm up for 1 or 2 minutes and then drive it without it stalling. The jeep will see off-road use, but it will be 'light duty' and will probably never see any severe angles. The biggest thing on my wish list is being able to start it on a cold morning and drive it without stalling.
Does the much cheaper motorcraft carb. upgrade accomplish what I'm looking for, or will my CJ always be 'cold blooded' without fuel injection?
