Re: Question From a Potential JEEP Wrangler Buyer
It's a part of all SMOG motors since the seventies. Probably, the
best part about buying a two hundred dollar chip.

Re: Question From a Potential JEEP Wrangler Buyer
Man, that big six just 'don't' rev over 4500 rpm.
I have no computer or other pollution crap running an she tops out at
4500 in 2nd gear. It pulls strong and then the pull just 'stops' dead
at 4500.
I was told the only way to get a bit higher out of them was to replace
the valve springs with a 'lot' stronger ones to stop the valve float.

Re: Question From a Potential JEEP Wrangler Buyer
Hi Mike,
Your year would probably need a cam and kit, of course your two
hundred Cubic Feet Per Minute POS Carter BBD wouldn't let rev that high.
But it was way up there when I pitted for a stock Rambler back in the
1964 Winter Nationals at Pomona, California. When you going to get a
Weber? And don't tell me how Weber has a part in your POS. If you put
the K55138 2 Barrel 400 CFM Weber on your CJ you could shift at six
grand: http://www.classictruckshop.com/garage/shopmathcfm1.asp

Dunno Bill - it sounds a bit thrashy at 4500 as it is. I usually shift 3500
max.

Re: Question From a Potential JEEP Wrangler Buyer
quite... I couldn't imagine it at 6000 rpm. It sounds like its going to
detonate at 3500 and the police can hear you coming a block away...
