Ignorant question.
Today I finally managed to start Project Jeep Deere for the first time
in several years of building/therapy. The CJ-7 has a new MPFI kit and a new exhaust. My question is this: The new down pipe from the exhaust manifold to the cat has a small 1", or so, tube sticking up a few inches back from the manifold. What is it for? It's been too long since I started the build and I am too excited to crack a book to figure it out. So my post is two-fold 1)I get a question answered and 2) I get to toot my own horn about my first vehicle build. Thanks for helping! Really, this group, and it's denizens, has been a great source of info and support! -- Member AAAAAAAA American Association Against Acronym Abuse And Also Ambiguity. |

Possibly to pre-heat the air going to the air filter?

Right now all I know is there Nuthin' like the smell of stickers burning off a new exhaust pipe! Woo-Hoo! Now that I know that I didn't leave a rag in the cylinder head or mice didn't move into the manifold, I can move on to re-assembly of the body. Hopefully I can get that done before my 11 y.o. graduates! -- Member AAAAAAAA American Association Against Acronym Abuse And Also Ambiguity. |

Re: Ignorant question.
I had one on My toyota Tercel with Throttle Body Injected carb, It was to
heat up the Engine or the carb. If you had a carb before and switch to EFI i guess you dont need it anymore, and you can probabbly use a plomber accessory to block it.?? !! did you buy the original replacement ?
