On my 83 cj7 there are a million vacuum hoses that are just cut with screws in them. I want to do away with as much of the vacuum system as i can. Does anyone know how I could go about this??

I’m not living in NY, but here in CA, unless you change to TBI (recommended by my test only smog station), you have to keep the vacuum lines. I find the diagrams in the manual hard to read, but ran across this great site, everything you need to know about the vacuum and emission control systems on the 258 with Carter BBD carb. http://home.sprynet.com/~dale02/list.htm It will give you enough information to make an informed decision about what to disconnect.

Go with the Howell Injection. After my run on Sunday I stopped by my mechanic's house to discuss my "rear disc brake conversion" and the big ass tie rod/drag link set up he is going to fab for me, and I started laughing at the size of the pile of parts, vacuum lines, canisters, old air box, heat riser.... that came off my Jeep when we did my Howell. I mean really a PILE! Go simple!

If you don't do a fuel injection conversion, you must have all the vacuum lines installed and working. Your Jeep ignition and fuel system is all computer controlled and the vacuum lines are all tied into it. I wonder if a Webber can be made to work because I think the POS Carter is controlled by the computer.SBCO Fire Dept. CERT volunteer
