I am just using the electric. I just hooked an ignition switched wire to the connector on the choke. That's all there is to it. It works fine that way for me. Its much better than having to mess with it or forget to turn it completly off. I had a manual on the carter I had before this one...

Black wheels revisted. Does it Idle down after is warms up? My guess would be the fast Idle cam on the choke is either engaged or it is stuck. Look for the adjustment screw on the choke side of the carb... Its hard to get to. I hope that helps

Those won't work. I says in a note: This increase output at speed but lower it at idle which may cause your light to flicker and Idle. At idle is the time I need the extra power. I have and eletric fan conversion and it doesn't run while you crusing down the highway. Looks like A good idea...

Help TwistedCopper pick a tire - PLEASE! I got a 76 I6 engine and that alternator just doesn't have enough amps. I found out the early 80's had a optional larger one, but this won't fit since its larger around. My question is will the alternator bracket from a 80's I6 fit on mine? Also where...

My jeep needs some help I got a few Idea's. First I got a question. When you say you turn the key and the lights Dim, do they completely go out or do they just get dimmer but stay on? You have to start with the most simple solution first becuase if that is the case you might just need to...

That is very odd. you really shouldn't need a manual to set it. A good way to start it to turn both mixture screw on the front of the carb the whole way in. It should stall at this point. If it doesn't the screw seats are leaking. Turn each out about 1 and a half turn. It should start back up...

PB blaster does work really good you just need to give it time to work. About a month ago I lifted my jeep replacing the leaf springs. My jeep is and 82 and they were the factory springs. I Live in PA so you can amagine the rust. A week before I was going to do it before I left in the morning...

Here's an easy Fix.... Unbolt the transmission and toss in dumpster...You'd be better off in the long run.

I can suggest lots and lots of PB blaster. When I replaced them last year in my CJ i don't think the one had ever been off before. The one came right off I think it was the one the previous owner's inspection place took off every year. I know they are supposed to switch off but I have to...

I attached mine to the only large port on the back of the carb on the bottom on the drivers side.

I usually shift between 2000 and 2500 depending on how quickly I want to accelerate. Does anyone know what the Redline is for a 258 off hand. I never go above 3000 because I know that's the end of the powerband anyway but I am just curious what the max was.

Well I can tell you the reason for them being wired to the headlight is because in most states I know of they are required to be that way. They are considered fog light and fog light are not allowed to be on with high beams. You can just wire them straight off the battery but a relay is the...

That is just odd that you guys both say that. I have worked at autozone for over a year now. I rarely get anyone returning anything. If it wore out early chances are it was abused I have seen people do some insane things. I had someone once that had ruined 3 starters in about 4 months. it...

I am not completely familiar with Wranglers however I was not aware the 258 even had and IAC motor. the 4.0's do I beleive but not a carbed engine. It might have and idle stop motor that moves the linkage on the side of the carb but they are not same thing. My best guess would be the choke...

Not to change topic here but can I ask why you don't buy eletrical parts from autozone? I have never had a problem at all. Wells it the brand they sell what's wrong with them?

Well I can tell you, not to change the fluid. You need to leave in it what it came with. Like redrooster said if it is pink or Red it isn't regular however Jeeps should be using the chysler kind. I believe it called G-05 and the autoparts store should carry it. You could always call a dealer...

Well the only real problem I see with this would be if you have a problem like a short in one of the systems you may loose everything. For example if wiring to light shorts out you will blow your main fuse and loose everything and if for some reason it doesn't blow the fuse it can melt the wire...

Well the only real limit to that is at the point you get Spark knock or pinging under high RPM or Load. You don't want that since it can internal damage and you would want to retarde it just a hair until that doesn't happen. Another thing I can recomend is running higher octane fuel will allow...

I only have mine on electric too. Make sure you do have the heat tube for it plugged off if you don't have it hooked up to anything. As for making sure its right really the best thing to do it wait until you jeep it all warmed up and take off the air cleaner and make sure the choke is open all...

Well, The first question I could think of is , is your carb running too rich Maybe? When you start it up or leave it run does alot of black soot get deposited on the ground behind you? I have the Motorcraft 2150 and I have been getting about 12-14 or so in the cold weather we have been having...
