Re: Re: CJ5 misfires at high RPM/hard acceleration
actually the 600 carb is not too big, if it is jetted right, Stock from the
factory on my 69 pontiac firebird was a 850 cfm quadrajet, which ran great,
so don't let the idiots fool you. jetting is the key.
seems your getting close, I was about to recomend a new coil, but you said
its running good, and vacuum was the problem. Try throwin that 600 back on,
and I bet it will run great, play with the jetting if you need to and you
will be happier, I'd swear by it. I'm actually surprised Mike didn't tell
you to check the engine block ground wire. DOH! he must be getting old.
your on the right track. Bills advice was sound. It is very rare to skip a
tooth on the timing chain, it has to be real loose for that. But all the
back yard mechanics have HEARD about it, and they will jump right to it for a
what if? but I doubt anyone but bill on here has ever actually seen it. Keep
on going, just don't waste time on stupid witchcraft advice. Go back to the
basics, and keep going.
