I have a 86 cj7 with all the emissions removed and I am installing a k551
weber carb on it.
where do I connect the electric choke to? the installation instructions
are not to clear it just says to hook it to the electric choke wire.
the manual says it has a reusable air cleaner it looks to me like a k&n
is anyone oiling these like a k&n?
also when I was installing the carb I cracked the bottom adapter plate
when tightening the bolts. the place I bought the carb from said they sell
the adapter plate as a kit with the gaskets and bolts for $37. does any one
know of an aftermarket adapter plate that is made better than the cheap one
Weber gives you? carmine

Yes. it's a K&N and we oiled ours. Choke connects to the same wire the
original choke connected to. I also think you can get a kit with a manual
choke also.
Next time use a torque wrench not a 4 ft breaker bar... :-)
The cost of knowledge, in your case $37 bucks :-) plus shipping....
