Title: Best carb?
Post by: Marco on February 21, 2014, 10:57:37 AM

What would be the best carb for '86 cj7 with a bored out 258?
Vacuums are basically gone and wired as simply as can be (had fire years ago so just did nutter bypass I think)
Thanks for any ideas

I think edelbrock has a carb designed for that engine. But holleys off road avenger is the cats meow.

Took me all day but I remembered I used an Offenhauser intake manifold with a small 4 barrel edelbrock.

I used the Motorcraft 2150 from the ebay guy.

On my 90 YJ with the 258.

No complaints, pre set up and jetted.

It was night like night and day from the stock Carter.
