OK I called the smog guys. If I take the 1 barrel manifold off and install a two barrel I have to take it to a referee station If I stack up a bunch of adapters and leave the 1 barrel manifold on I do not need a referee. i need to get a second opinion. This is what I see hapening. CARB EO...

There are more ports if i remember from my visual last night. But I can plug them up. Don't spend too much time on this till I see waht the SMOg guys say about useing an intake from a different year on it. I have placed a call and got an answering machine. No call back yet because i don't have...

the howell kit is a GM throttle body.

As long as the gov'ner gives me my sticker I'm ok with that. Oh and the missus is ok with a header. Her 07 mustang was modified for as much airflow as CARB would let her and she loved the sound. Same with the 69 mustang I restored. No CARB requirements on that one and she loved the sound. Now...

Well I see it this way. stock manifold around 200. headers 227.27 free shipping. If I go with the 81/82 config on the intake I have to have a cat. Cat with install, Thhink they HAVE to be welded, over 200. CARB EO intake hopefully around 200 and then I don't need a cat

Ok I found some 50 state legal headers. they are pacesetters. CARB compliant just about 30 bucks more than a stock exhaust manifold. Any help with a 50 legal intake around 200 bucks would come in very usefull. remember CARB EO parts just have to fit. can be for 77 or 81 258's as long as it has a...

thank you for your moment. I needed some quiet to reflect on my quiet journey into calm world of jeep ownership. Not!!! You think you are queazy!!!! i have to take dramamine just to walk by it. Of course if i go with a header it has to be 50 state compliant. It would be easier if I could...

Just as I thought I was on my way to some easy FI kit install I find that the 2 (v) intake manifold I bought off flea bay is not what I have on the jeep. I bought an intake that is a single intake. It has a plate on the bottom with a wire going to it. What is on the jeep is a two piece bolt...

I may have to disappoint Greg and get to skip the engine rebuild. I rented a compression tester from autozone. my neighbors was old and seen better days. I could not do a dry test because I did a wet test last night. Today with the rented one I got these readings all across the board. Turning...

I'll start off by saying that I live in California and I cant pass the smog like it is. Lots of great help form our excellent community and history of my problems on a couple of threads. 81 CJ7 with a 77 258 installed. well the Calif Bureau of automotive repair allowed the jeep to have a 77...

Going to start a new thread on engine prep for fuel Inj. See everyone there

He helped me do the top end on my 86 ford diesel. man what a nasty job. He would rather chase girls and hang with his buddies. I mean why do that when you have motors to work on. LOL

Thanks Greg, The doc replaced two disc's in my neck two years ago. Still have full range of motion. My son will post if needed. Jim

Well I don't have a diagnostic shop around. If I swap a carb it has to be a stock carb for a 77. I asked him this hoping to get a 2150 to put on it. And I have pulled the Intake assy getting ready to pull the head to check the valves and see if I can just add new rings. A fuel injection kit with...

I would just repair what you have and save up for what ever upgrade you want later. Gets the jeep on the road again with little down time. You get back on the trails sooner and can work on it when the weather gets nasty. if there is such a thing. Then try to sell your parts to help with the...

I'll have to find out what a .30 over bored cylinder is supposed to measure and see what mine are. Then measure the pistons and go from there.

Well the PO and I had a meeting today. he gave me back 1000 bucks and we called it even. The fuel injection kit would have been put on later anyway. so now I have to deal with the engine. The engine was rebuilt a while back and bored .30 over. What is the max the258 block will hold on a bore...

Doesn't really matter. The compression test is 75 dry 100 wet and nothing will hold. But I guess I need to know if I can time it to 6 BTDC

posted once before but its not on the forum. If you see it and I don't delete the one with the least answers. If you have been following along with the struggles to get the wife's jeep smogged I'll let you know that everyone has been a great help. So lets get this party started. Going out to a...

If you have been following along with the struggles to get the wifes jeep smogged I'll let you know that everyone has been a great help. So lets get this party started. Going out to a compression test in a bit but before I even waste any more time and money I need an answer concerning the Cam...
