Replacing carb need help

[neal90]

So I have an 82 with a AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l and am replacing the stock carb. I am mechanically inclined but a little lost when it comes to carbs. What's my best option and I have $300 to spend thanks. Also Im not quite sure how the electric choke works on a stock 82 CJ7 . And I'm sure its not working right now. Not sure if its wiring or the carb or wiring. And If it is wiring is it a difficult fix most of the time or would I be better of getting a carb that has a manual choke

Your best option is the motocraft 2100. Lots of wright ups on the net about it. Second choice would be the weber carb. Both will need an adapter and both can be had, used for under your price.

I have the Weber 2 bbl 300cfm dcge.... i forget which one but i'v never been able to keep a tune, ever! even when i took it to the shop they didn't have it running much better. I think im going MC but i really want the Howell set-up.

I vote for the motor craft 2100 and carb adapter by "grog" I'll try to find the link for him. As for electric choke they are pretty easy to wire up if your stock set up isn't working.
