When did fuel injection replace the carburetor?
Fuel injection began supplanting carburetors in the 1970s so cars and trucks could meet stricter emissions standards.

Is there a turn key carb for CJ7?
One that incorporates the best features of both the 2100 and 2150 without the worry of infringing on anyone’s designs because this is wholly their own, I believe based on other reviews. My Jeep CJ7 has never run better than after I installed this turn-key carb. That’s all I did: install it without tinkering with anything and voila: perfection.
