emissions crap on an 89YJ
I have an 89YJ, 4.2L
I'm installing a carb from a 70's CJ and ditching the emissions
crap...question is, there are 2 vaccuum solenoids on the firewall above the
valve cover and 3 on the valve cover, what are these for and can I ditch
them too?
thanks

Re: emissions crap on an 89YJ
They are all garbage and you can keep the stock Weber-Carter BBD that's
on there too if you want and still toss the emissions computer.
To physically toss the computer, you have to wire the tach direct. Here
are the directions for killing the computer for a sweet 25%+ seat of the
pants power boost.

It can still pass emissions tuned manually. I kept the vacuum for the
PCV and canister (important), EGR, distributor and air filter flaps
working, all the rest is garbage.
If your stock carb is giving you fits, check this link to make it
purr....

I don't see how you can use a 70's carb on it, they were 1 BBL, the
newer ones are 2 BBL so you would have to change the intake too.

Re: emissions crap on an 89YJ
If you live in a Smog State, you should seriously reconsider your actions.
That said, most vacuum is used for smog control. If all vacuum is plugged
off, you should be OK.
From my own experience, you should spend two grand and install the Multi
Port Fuel Injection kit and a header. The Smog stuff is modified to 1994
levels, but it does remain, and the Smog ***** will be happy with your work.
You will have much better performance than with any carb set up.
