Get rid of that plastic valve cover. And put a Real PCV valve on
it.

Re: a lot of extra power from a 258CI inline six CJ7
Bill, I still get really good performance from the old thing so I really
have no urge to upgrade it. It is super easy to toss a $20.00 carb kit
in it every couple years and it goes like a scalded cat still with 23
mpg.....
It is easy to set the mix and passes emissions set up manually as is so
why screw with it eh?
