Look into Skip White performance for that HEI, free shipping and cheap. I have had mine for a little bit and love it. I think they are 65 bucks. So if you don't like it or don't notice much of a difference your not out much, plus I'm sire you could sell it here. As far as the popping, I don't...

I know right, but to get to that point, I had gotten a new carb, timing set, and HEI. Things I wanted to do eventually, cuz I did get performance part, just didn't think I would be making that many purchases this soon. But it is a CJ

100% right. It was 180 off, we figured it was being we just swapped the timing chain, and everything else has been quadruple checked prior to that. So now she rumbles nice and deep...still need to tweak the electric choke, opens to slow, and tune the mixture, still getting some deep popping...

I have to agree. Morris is my #1 on my bookmarks. Well designed web page as well.

Ordered my intake manifold gasket...so tomorrow I start that ordeal...

No, have not,,tested either, but minus the finger over the plug whole bumping the ignition, seems to be solid compression on all 8 cyl. The carb back fire only started after I started rebuilding the replacing the carb, then adding the HEI... Although a mech issue my initial trouble shooting is...

@sweetpeet, another GA jeeper, nice to meet ya. Augusta here.

@sweet, 1st going to recheck for proper 1piston TDC, possible rotar rotation 180, I also read the same symptoms can be from way to lean fuel as well...this has not been played with since the install. We kinda took for granted the Edelebock, install and start up advertisement.....hope it's as...

@smizar, no play. Brand new HEI from Skip White

No crack n the manifold, and again the backfire from the carb only came after we started rebuilding and replacing carb and HEI, so I'm sure it's a timing issue, but IDK just frustrated at this point, but far from given up

That's a loaded question, before all the new parts as it warmed up the better it ran but then the popping and back fires started, so first we did a carb rebuild. Didn't change anything, changed all the fuel parts, pump hoses and filter, no change, said screw it and got a new carb and HEI and...

man o man where do I start......two month ago I got a 1978 CJ5, at some point alot of time and upgrades where put into it. A few weeks after i got it home, i noticed it took quite a bit to get started and i had to hold down the accelerator to maintain RPM before it would idle and not die, not to...

Morris 4x4, Jegs.....they are not very expensive, could even try Advance, AutoZone or Orielly's

Ugh well as of today I am on orders for Korea on a few months, so all of my big projects are on hold for the next 18 months. But I am going to pass your info to a buddy of mine at work who is doing a frame up rebuild and is looking for a t18 as well.
