Hey yall.
I have questions and need help. I have just put a rebuilt 258, 4.2L in my 87 jeep wrangle. I am having a hard time to get it to start. I had it running but it often takes me some time to get it start.
One problem that I have noticed is that when I am cranking the engine, I get no spark in the plugs. But when I quit cranking it, the spark catches and the engine starts running. Sometimes it makes for quit a back fire. I have already replaced the exaust manifold gasket a few times.
Also, I would like to get rid of all of the emmisions stuff. There is a mess of vacuum lines going everywhere. It is a giant headache that I am constantly battling. I know that the carb and the distributor work on a vacuum loop of some sort. I guess I would have to do some swaps, or a few modifications to make these work properly.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Talk to you later, I have some buckmasters to watch.
