I just purchase a 89 Jeep Wrangler and the previous owner side it is a 4.6.

- I am understand to make sure that it is to pull the Oil Pan and get the number off the Crank?

- The carburetor on the Jeep I believe is Carter and the choke was not working; just found out it was not getting DC to the Choke. After hooking DC up to it still runs bad. Looking to change it out.

- Plus if it is what would the best Carburetor it? (Weber36 or 38 or Motorcraft 2100 or 2150)

Thank you,
Charlie

I agree with the old motors came with mech. pump the block it would need to be a 4.6 or 4.7 or 5.0 stroker would not have a pump on the block, it would need a 4.0 block. Get a Block number for us and don't pull the pan.

By "still keys awhile" do you mean it cranks for several seconds before fireing? Many carburated Jeepers have a similar problem. It seems to be from no check valve between the fuel filter and the metal vent return line to the gas tank.

Search this forum for "hard start after 2 days". There are a few threads and many posts.

Hope this helps, Good Luck, L.M.

Look again. That code should be three numbers,one letter and two numbers. Try sanding the boss with fine sandpaper.

It is possible the PO misstated the CID.

Is there any letters stamped on a boss between the coil and the distributor?

Is the 6CL27 stamped on the block or on a tag that might be glued or rivited over the old number?

Can you post any pics?

Good Luck, L.M.
