That is the 'charcoal' canister or gas tank vent I was talking about. I
can't see the purge valve in your photo. What kind does it have on it?
You have the line that says 'carb bowl', one that says 'Tank' one that
maybe says 'purge?' Are there any more off the top?
Where does the 'purge' line go to? Does it just go to the snorkel end
of the air filter?

That is called 'blowby'. It happens when either the PCV system isn't
working or when the engine is worn so compression is getting into the
crankcase faster than the PCV can draw it off.

I would open it to look for signs of arcing at the contacts. If the
rotor is a mis match, the cap will arc out fast and show burn marks or
buildup on the contacts. This can cause sputtering.

Re: 76 CJ-5 questions.......
Ok, stock I believe there should be a nipple on the bottom of the air
filter intake snorkel. The venturi effect there sucks the fumes out of
the activated charcoal that is in the canister.
The canister has a $2.00 air filter on the bottom that is usually just
called an emissions filter. The old filter is a bugger to dig out and
then the new one just tucks in.
How are the wires? I had a miss and a sputter at idle the other day and
one of my plug wires had vibrated loose. Plugged it back and it purrs
again.

Re: 76 CJ-5 questions.......
Ok, stock I believe there should be a nipple on the bottom of the air
filter intake snorkel. The venturi effect there sucks the fumes out of
the activated charcoal that is in the canister.
The canister has a $2.00 air filter on the bottom that is usually just
called an emissions filter. The old filter is a bugger to dig out and
then the new one just tucks in.
How are the wires? I had a miss and a sputter at idle the other day and
one of my plug wires had vibrated loose. Plugged it back and it purrs
again.
