I recently bought my old 1985 Jeep CJ7 back that I owned in 1998. Since selling it in 2003 the only things that were changed were the seats and the carburetor! It originally (1998) had a Holley 390 and ran great so that's what's going back on. I have a few questions that maybe some of you can answer that have similar setups.
1) Is there a right or wrong orientation to mount the carb to the intake? Pic 3 shows how it was mounted originally.
2) Is there a throttle bracket that works with the Holley and the Clifford? The one in pic 2 seems to have interference with the acc pump lever even though it seems to be part of the original setup. Don't like the need for extra gaskets.
3)What are the threaded holes on the bottom of the intake (directly below carb) for? Heater? My intake is NOT water jacketed. It's at least from 1995 or earlier.
4)Electric choke power feed....there is a female flat blade plug with red and red w/ white stripe wire near the brake booster. One of the wires has continuity with a wire on the oil pressure switch. Is that the original choke hookup?
5) Any other tips for setting up this carb?
