Clean plate of info. Before this adventure the jeep ran fine. Dist and coil operated fine. Carb worked fine with the exception of stalling going over speed bumps. The occasional stall at a stop light but, that's a typical carters. Since I had time to have the jeep out of commission and had...

I have not checked fuel pressure yet. Could that be it? I'd so, how do I check.

Opposite. She's a bogger. Still tryin

Could be. Not sure

I did drive it at 1 turn out an bog down in reverse more that drive

Out 1 16.5vac. Spudderish idle Out 1.5. 17vac. Brought idle down to 750-800 Out 1.75 18vac idle fine. 750-800rpm Out 2.0 18vac. Idle fine. 750-800rpm Currently out 2 (so I can remember)

I just dropped a new hei in my 81 cj 258. Eliminated module. I spliced the plug going to the module that has two wires (red, blue) and used the red as a 12v power source. Works fine. I'm no expert but I think you have to change dist gears if you convert to gm hei. The one I bought was already...

Warmed up. 1 full turn out. 16 on vac

Don't laugh, I still need to adjust the linkage to shift properly. Another day, another lesson. Lol.

10-4 y'all have a good night.

Sorry, scratch valve from last post. Just float. Newbies, can't live with'em can't shoot'em!!

Het fellas. Just pulled her in the garage. Bout 12:17 here and I got to get my azz to bed. Kids don't care how late you stay up. They still need to get to school on time. Anyway, turned her in to one turn out and much better. Still a "little" hesitation but definately in the right direction...

Yes sir

Once I got the distrib in the right spot, she fired right up. Yes, hold throttle and she purrs. No misses. Smooth

I haven't graduated to accelerator pump class. I don't even know what or where the accelerator pump is. One mistake then learn at a time. Ha ha

Times with timing light. She is set at 10* sounded like she wanted to run better higher but didn't want to push it. You want me to set timing by vac or leave it and get mixture right?

Yes. If you are real real slow to throttle, she alright. But if you need to cross an intersection, you would probably stall.

Sorry superj, just caught your answer. Thanks.

Bout 800rpm. I am confused now. I'm reading a motorcraft 2100 write up and it says to lean out mixture (screws in) until it runs rough at idle then back out 1/8 of a turn till it idles smooth and that will be the beat lean mixture. That's the complete opposite as what I'm doing.

Update!! Started out fuel mix at 2 full turns out and was reading 18 on the gauge Went to 2 3/4 full turns out was 18.5 vac 3 full turns out was 18.75 vac 3.25 full turns out was 19.00 vac 3.5 full turns out was 19.00 vac I put her back 1/4 and she currently sits at 3.25 full turns out with...
