Re: ? about jeep
I did some research. Seems in '90 the 4 banger came with the injection and
the 6 with the carb.

Here is what I found..

The popular Wrangler sport utility debuted in May 1986 to replace the
ancient military-style CJ. A fuel-injected, 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine was
standard on base and low-budget S Wranglers, as well as those with the
Islander and Sahara option groups. A carbureted 4.2-liter inline six was
optional on all but the S version and standard on the top-of-the-line
Laredo. All 6-cylinder Wranglers could get a 3-speed automatic transmission
to replace the usual 5-speed manual gearbox. Part-time 4-wheel drive was
standard and both soft and hard tops were available. For 1990, soft-top
Wranglers got locks for their half-steel doors. Hardtop versions gained a
rear wiper/washer.

Re: ? about jeep
Cool, your year is carburated. For sure your air cleaner will have
to be enclosed before your YJ will pass the SMOG visual. you might
compare it's connections with: http://home.sprynet.com/~dale02/list.htm
before you take it in for certification.

Re: ? about jeep
Sounds like a good deal. Good for you.
That oil leak around the valve cover gasket is probably caused by the
crankcase venting system, if there's oil on the air cleaner element then
it is the crank case vent. A lot of people jump to the conclusion that it
is the rear main seal leaking because it generally runs down the back of
the engine. Dunno if your Wrangler's I6 uses the same plumbing as my `89
Cherokee's 4.0 or not but if it is similar it is it probably easiest to
simply replace the vacuum harness. The hard hoses plug up and the
grommets dry out, crack and leak vacuum.
