Just a carb or injected carb. ...
Yeah, as described in the above link, it's not fuel injection. It's an electronically controlled carburetor, with a stepper motor that controls the jets. No high-pressure injection of fuel.

Saving $$$'s of any amount is critical to having a sound rig.
Good time now to do your research, so when time to get fixin, you can get it done and share pics with us :)

Well winters here in the Catskills so its time to take this jeep apartImage
Removed the windsheild washer tank /pump asembly and the radiator’s resevoir tank along with fuel vapor tank
Still finding nuts and cridder crap in places hard to see.
There are no brakes rusty lines , brake fluid damage on master cylinder and vac tank. New proportioning valve also called for along with new lines (cupro nickel in SS stone guard).

Looked over what has to happen to get front fenders off,way easy. The hard part was getting the 1st ss screw out of the hole of the rubicon stone guard, air wratchet and 10 mins bolts out which hold fenders on. Maybe really alittle longer but not bad at all.

The otherside took longer due to more items being afixed on the fender well,diconnect wires , hoses & such.
Lots of wires and hoses for pollution stuff , early 80’s were smog motors I do believe. Id love to get rid of all of it .
I hope I can put fuel injector type carb that holley has ,possibly headers too , have to look in to it more but thats future work.
So many wires spliced in here and there, saw wire that is wiggly from heat warp-age,thats spliced into head light wires, they did put fueses all over fun finding them .
I see they left the old coil in place when they ( whom ever they were) swapped the engine,I mean come on for real?
I see silicon rtv on gaskets so hope it was just new gaskets at the time

Well decided to remove radiator , removing bolts went well till this , the little clip broke,ok great now it just spins.
Took long stright blade screw driver and bent out the peice os steel I could reach.
Yes , it was the last bolt.Image
Thank goodness for vise grips,great for loosing those hard to free brake line fittings especially when the wrench slips and rounds out the edges.
Finished the bolt off w airwrachet.Image
While removing center grill mounting bolt looked at the body mounts , all look like this. Ahh more things to do. Checked other bushings ,mounts etc,. Not so good.Image
As you can see the stabilizer links need to be replaced along with motor mounts. The rubber bushings are breaking down .
More to doImage,but I like doing this.Image
Ooops,sometings missing
Got grill? Yup!

I think it reads 13CL22
The engine stamp

It's not an '84 date code.

Guessing it says carbureted 2V 258, March 22 1991.
