Hey guys,
Sorry, haven't been on in a while, time flies!! Welp, I've been wanting to hop up the Jeep, lots of options, but got the tranny rebuilt, SYE, Double Cardegan sweater shaft, etc. Then, get the external slave mod done, damn, that was expensive, lol. Had it done, but glad I did. Since rebuilding the Tranny, that master slave has been replaced twice and the slave was going bad, so figured I'd make the jump to external for my future wallet. Point is, my wallet had been hurting, lol. But all worth it, my Jeep is built right, to my knowledge atleast, lol.
With that being said, and with more money finally NOT being spent, for now.... lol. I'd like to get back to fun stuff.
I wanted to do the 4.0 Head, I live like 20 minutes from Clearwater Heads, so lucky. I like Carburetors, I know, I'm weird, but hear me out.
My plan was to get a 4.0 head, I'll need new headers, why not go full gusto and get the Clifford's 6=8 kit with single 38/38 Weber. I have a Weber now, but 1 is none and 2 is 1, right? Or is there a cheaper/better way to go, like Offy and Pacesetter or something? Just seems like Clifford is a whole kit, so easier and meant to work with eachother.
I then thought, maybe down the road picking up a Holley Sniper and putting it on the Clifford Manifold. If something happens to the Sniper, throw back on my Carb in an hour, does this sound feasible?
Only problem I see is the fuel pump. If I get the Sniper and the higher flowing fuel pump, and say something happens, can I just put a fuel pressure regulator on the line and slap back on my Weber?
It may sound wierd, but I like that my Jeep can always be on the road, its my backup work truck, too. And I actually like that Carbs can be fairly dependable and easy to swap for trouble shooting, vs EFI, sensor bad? Computer program bad? Etc. And.... again, weirdo checking in, lol, Iike SHTF stuff, and Carbs play into that. Only computer like thing on there now is my DUI Distributor, and you guessed it, got a spare replacement still in the box in my shed. 1 is.... you know.
Thoughts? I know I can be the village idiot at times, lol. But sometimes I have good ideas, is this one?
Oh, at the time being, I'd like to not mess with a cam. One cool thing about the EFI, unless I'm mistaken, is that I can throw on a cam on down the road and it will automatically adjust? Unlike a carb, correct? Hence me asking about the fuel pressure regulator as well, if I get a cam, I can tune my spare carb as well then, too.
Thanks for any replies and helpful suggestions!!
