Fuel injection is a vast improvement over a carb, so that and a microprocessor controlled turbo to provide sea level performance in the mountains would be my ideal limit.

Who wants a GPS that will get you stuck on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon in Winter?

I don’t see fuel injection for an F-134. However after going through a couple of aftermarket 1 barrels, I broke down and got a Weber 32/36.

It took some extra plumbing including a regulator and an inline gauge. It’s maybe 90% right and it runs really well unless it’s near freezing.

I’ll spin it over on a really cold night. It takes a good few minutes of coaxing and feathering the choke and throttle the first time. After that, it runs fine.

My CJ7 project has a blown engine which is why I got it for the price I did. Anyway I looked at it as an opportunity to relearn things I forgot and try to make it better.

It’s a 2 barrel 6/258. I’ve read about fuel injector kits for that model and hopefully later next year, I can have the pennies saved up for that transplant. In the meantime I do small things to it and stockpile parts when I find them on sale. Amazon is really great for that.

The Willys gets a windshield frame next month. Christmas blew that plan. My 65’s was rusted and didn’t support electric motors.

After that, buy a lift kit and parts to redo the brakes and get the steering box rebuilt. Those are on a laundry list of things I’m looking to get done in March if budget holds.

I’m just one guy in a carport with some knee and other problems so some jobs are out for me.
