well see thats the problem. the carb in all actual reality is probably too big for the motor. but it runs fine with it and wouldnt have been put on a jeep if the person knew any better.
it is a 4 barrel carb on a straight six motor. But if the choke is resolved it would run ten times better.

Your floats are probably too high and with the already-known idle speed adjustments, you might find other things going on, too.
All simple stuff, just takes time to dial them (Holleys) in.

now the only other thing I have to figure out is what frigin after market cap and rotor are on this thing as I went to replace it and the one that was on there is much larger than the one I got from NAPA. the rotor didnt fit either so they might have put a whole new ignition system in
hey lead foot you dont happen to have any spare jeep parts do you?
I noticed that someone removed the rubber brake reservoir gasket out so now it leaks brake fluid when I take it out and beat on it.
you dont happen to have one of those do you? or a stock steering wheel? the tiny little GT steering wheel blows

That looks like the Motorcraft distributor with the TFI coil.
You should be able to interchange parts off the Ford 300 six with that distributor.
Typical Holley 4bbl...is there a tag on it anywhere?
Clifford makes a popular aluminum 4bbl manifold for the 258. Pretty good piece as long as it isn't warped.
Is your exhaust manifold flange cracked or is that just the heat shield?

I think its just a heat shield but it has headers to so they may have seperate pieces. I wouldnt put it past anything on this jeep I'm finding little things all over the place.

Radio Flyer is dead on. Motorcraft with TFI. I have never run this setup so I am no expert on how to get the parts guy to give you the correct parts. You can prob get more specific help at 4WDH Online Community - Powered by vBulletin
