I put my old Red line back on about a month ago. It's an outstanding carb. You can use any air cleaner you like, I use the cotton filter from KN. Can't tell you about it being legal, you'll have to check your states emission standards for the year jeep you own.

Fuel Pump Regulator

Weber recomends you use one. I have run them without and rarely have problems, but Jeep pumps are notorious for running high pressure and you never know what you have till you check them. Weber states that the best performance is achieved when the pressure is regulated at 3 and 1/2 LBS of pressure. It won't hurt to add one on a fresh install.

Agree. Tks again.

I find it's better to change the fuel filter to a "one in one out" clear plastic fuel filter.You can see that it has fuel.
