Just nearly completed swapping the old Carter for a Motorcraft 2100 in
my 82 CJ7. Ran into a couple of surprises I've not seen anyone mention
however. First, I thought I'd read a 9" air cleaner assembly would
work with power brakes - not even close. Going to have to scrounge for
something smaller. A bigger problem however is the fuel inlet on the
2100 - it's MUCH smaller than the pre-fabbed fuel line from the old
carter. Hope the auto store can hook me up tomorrow...

JKarp.

 

Hi Jeff,
Use a Fram G3428A fuel filter or equivalent:
http://www.----------.com/fordFuelFilter.jpg and a piece of 3/8" gas
hose, the flange nut should just slide back out of the way.
I've used fifteen inch aluminum serving tray from the grocery store
and just cut an off center hole for the carburetor.
