AMC carb question
My dad has an '84 CJ-7 that he restored. It has an AMC 150 engine with a
single throat carb, with some kind of electronic engine control. He believes that the electronic module? is bad and it is very expensive to replace. It is much cheaper to replace the whole carburetor. The problem is that the only replacement that he can find is for 'off road' only, or so it says. Considering that we live in NE Ohio and are subject to E-check by the state, we were wondering if the 'off road' version was legal to use and if it would have any trouble passing the emissions test if it were installed. I put a rather lame version of this question that was lacking information on this newsgroup last week. Hopefully there is sufficient info in this post. Thank You, Chip |

Any variation from stock and the SMOG nazis will fail you, however
since the computer and all is sensors have all failed by now that if install the Nutter Bypass and you don't tell them, and you hide the loose wires, making it an '83 SMOG, it should run better and pass pollution tests easily. The Nutter bypass is for a Six, but essentially the same as yours: http://home.sprynet.com/~dale02/ignmods.htm God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O mailto:-------------------- http://www.----------.com/ Chip wrote: > > My dad has an '84 CJ-7 that he restored.
