1044940 That right there sounds like your PCV filter. There should be a little square filter INSIDE your filter pan where it connects which will need to be cleaned every once in a while. If there is no filter in there then that could be your problem. I know when I bought my CJ7, the...

1045032 Converting to fuel injection involves its OWN time and hassle. I have a good lead on a used 4.0litre head with all the Fuel injection bits and pieces for dirt cheap. I'll do that after i get the rest of the jeep fixed up. I don't want to dive into fuel injection until i have at...

1045280 dude, i've been going through exactly the same thing. When i first bought my jeep, the rear PCV intake tube wasnt even connected to the air filter... it was just flopping around everywhere spilling oil and smelling really BAD. Kinda like a gas lawnmower After that, i started seeing...

1062598 the juicebox along with a good carburator upgrade (weber's the best bet) is probably the best thing you can do to squeeze life out of old 4.2L engines. Older 4.2 engines were never really too efficent and tend to waste alot of power due to shotcomings in the design such as the shoddy...

1059276 I like the idea of these alot, especially being able to easily check the transmission fluids, but i would be most concerned about how brittle the plastics get when they are cold.[addsig]

1059757 what happened to the paint?[addsig]

1066870 I believe this sums it all up Also, before I descend any deeper into riceboy or import bashing, i'll have to confess that my other vehicle is a "pimped-out" toyota. Some may consider it a touch on the ricey side, but at least its done tastefuly and doesnt have a hamster wheel...

1067642 are you SURE thats a 1bbl? From what i have read, the 1bbl's only came on the 4 bangers. Best bet is to pull off the air filter, open the choke and have a looksee. Your jeep is the same year as mine, and i replaced my carter 2bbl with one of those weber carbs and it made a world of...

1067980 well, for starters, what kind of engine do you have in your yJ? typically the 4 cyl's are 1bbl and the 6 cyl's are usually 2bbl Best bet if you are not sure, take off the air filter and LOOK at how many barrels are in the carb :-D Then again, if it turns out you happen to have a...

1068774 Check your ignition timing. I was having these issues like crazy, even after i installed my juicebox. Once i got a timing gun and set the ignition timing, it was smooth as silk. Also, another pointer is to make sure you don't hit the gas too much when you are starting the engine. If...

1068778 Are you talking about the hoses for PCV intake and return? Yeah, they have to be hooked up because they regulate pressure in the valve cover. Without them hooked up the engine performs really badly. Quadratec has a couple of good installation guides, have you checked them yet? here's...

1068780 thats kinda what i figured... breaking the bead... Oh well... I guess i'll use some of that extra "canadian tire" money i got kicking around... :-D [addsig]

1068927 Man, thats a kickass install document I just used it as an excuse to put in all these funky red silicone vacuum hoses i've been hording, and man does the engine run nice and smooth after setting up my hoses like that. Damn good thing too because i found that most of my original hoses...

1068945 Okay, i got my memory adaptor working. Here's a fresh picture of my hose routing. I still have some more stuff to clean up, but i need some more of those silicone hoses and another tee connector to finish the job. One of the things about the hose routing that is TRULY annoying...

1069031 I suppose i could do that, but then i'd have to find something to plug the bottom of the air filter with. Not a big problem, I'll check my spare parts boxes and see if i can find a rubber stopper of some sort. The vacuum hoses are actually from Vibrant and are available in pretty much...

1069116 its apparently pretty damn easy and well documented as far as swaps go. I hear the stock gearbox and cooling system will have to be upgraded, but the engine mount kits are plentiful and not too expensive. Just try doing a couple of quick yahoo or google searches for jeep 350 swaps and...

1069823 I just left it hooked up to the manifold vacuum. I don't remember seeing anything in the juicebox instuctions that asked for it to be hooked to ported vacuum :-? When i re-did my hoses with the red silicone stuff i pretty much followed This Diagram Never really noticed any problems...

1058087 yep... that sounds about right... Older jeepz such as old cj's and yj's are notorious for crappy gas tanks.. I think there are only about 4 cj's on the planet that still have a factory gas tank and a working fuel guage, and they are all in the smithsonian :-D Seriously tho... The...

1056692 Okay, peeps Time to resurrect a dead thread... :-D I finally broke down and got my tank replaced on my CJ-7 and what do you know... I now have a working fuel gauge!!! :-O :-O :-O They just replaced it with a used metal tank and replaced the sending unit. Of course the skid plate...

1060974 Hmm.. a fuel pressure regulator you say? It sounds like that could be the problem i am having because it IS a new weber, and it seems to flood the most when i hit the gas too hard. It could very well be a fuel pressure fix. Who makes regulators, how much do they go for, and how easy...
