I dropped from 18 inch pounds in vacuum to 14. Apparently I had the timing so far advanced that it was compensating for other problems that popped up after squaring away the TDC timing. The fluctuation in vacuum is throwing off my carb adjustment numbers. Bob, I think your 100% right with carb problem.
Any recommendations for a 2 barrel carb? I know mine is about a 3 legged dog right now. Couple things stripped out in the aluminum body.
Oh! The explosion. Destroyed my exhaust system!!! There isn't even a rat fart of exhaust coming out the tail pipe. Explains why my trucks sounds so loud now.

Quiet, no recommendations.... The stock 2150 is not bad besides blowing power valve from time to time, you need to find a good rebuildable unit, w a 1.21 venturi, the 1.08 is for the 6cyl.
I wrote down the carb type of the best running rigs in Ouray, but it has disappeared..... IIRC every non stock carb was a 4 barrel...

Thank you sir. I have no plans on moving away from a 2 barrel. Thought there may be a better aftermarket or repop, but my research has pretty much led to running the stock unit.

The 2150 with the altitude compensator which is the stock unit is pretty stout, easy to rebuild, perform fairly well off-road and still many to choose from. Mine are over 210Kmiles on both waggys. The 74 2100 gave up the ghost in 2012, no idling, and I could not clean it up, so it inherited a 2150 from a previous 200K wagoneer.
A little surfing point to checking the application of expoxy on the interior parts, so be careful when buying a used unit or getting a junkyard purchase.

Huuuuuuuge shout out to Bob and Martin! Kevin, thank you to you too for being on the helm sir. Emissions pump, brackets, hoses, and diverter valve is installed. Thank you gentlemen! Wish me luck on the next drive through for emissions.

You need to run some sea foam and drive the song out of it a few days prior to going in. Make sure when you take it is the engine is "properly" warmed up prior to going in there.... meaning drive it like a rental .
Why thank you sir! Im quite proud of myself. And thanks to the help from you local gentlemen, my old battleship puffs whole Prius's from its tail pipe.
