What the smog man does is look at the C. Last edited: May 15, I'll order the 9" if it clears everything and will get me passed smog. I just wasn't sure how the smog peeps dealt with everything.
I didn't want to drop a hundred bucks and still be stuck with something that kept my jeep in the driveway for another week or so. I will i say it felt great to junk all those vacuum lines and pull that carb off my motor haha.
Cant wait to get it finished and drive it. I'm sure it will be like night and day. One hopes anyway Thanks Torx For me changing over to f. If you can get a larger air filter to fit, I would suggest going for it. I had a 2" tall filter and it still needed more air, just going to a 3" made a difference. Also set up a location just behind the t. The fuel pressure can be adjusted somewhat at a location under the t.
I have heard it is best to go to a CS style alternator as it provides a better charging rate than the SI style which is oem. Especially if you have the small 40 amp version as you now have to keep an electric fuel pump running. Bought new in T-5 tranny and t'case. Go to a referee station and ask. They will be able to hand you a print-out of what you are allowed to use.
Good luck, LG. To update: The install was pretty straight forward. I did freak out a little and just stare at the wires after I cut the loom open haha. After that I just started cutting per the instructions and was good to go. I did 12 hours on Saturday and another 6 on a Sunday and it was done. Thanks for all the suggestions.
They didn't even blink at the smog shop. Just asked for my CARB sticker and traced a few lines. Passed fine on the dino and I was good to go. It's a completely different Jeep with the TBI on there. Have to be a bit careful on the throttle lol or I"m chirping through gears.
I did have this fiasco the following weekend where I went to peel out I know I know Fixed that the next day, and won't be doing that again haha. You can call me techlight-foot from now on. Great news! With this change.
Will you have to go to a referee station before your next SMOG test? Hey LG. I was due for a smog and couldn't get the jeep passed with the carburetor. After the install I went to a place I usually take it which is a test only. So no referee at all. The smog people told me I didn't have to put my sticker on either but to seal it in a bag to protect it and put it with my registration or file it and bring it with me when I smog.

If the gasket is a good fit, go ahead and attach the Howell TBI unit onto the adapter plate using the 3 bolts and spoke washers provided with the kit.
This air intake system was designed for use on an Chevy Tahoe TBI and so the fit was very good. If you have an aluminum valve cover like I do, you will need to purchase a spacer and a couple of good gaskets to make this work out. The make and part numbers are listed above. Don't forget you will need 2 of them. This kit is one of only two made for Jeeps that can be ordered California smog legal.
The other kit is the Mopar MPI but it typically costs twice the amount. Both systems offer a huge improvement over the Carter BBD setup. This is a photo of all the things you will get with your new Howell TBI kit. Make sure you have everything, check for any damaged items, sort everything out and then read the instructions that came with the kit. Depending on what year Jeep you have, the actual installation of this kit may vary. Here is a shot of my engine just before I started to yank all the miles and miles of vacuum lines and related emissions crap out.
Good by Carter BBD!! While you are in the area, go ahead and remove the old coolant temperature switch from your intake manifold. I needed to use a 1" socket to do this but I have heard this size can vary. The removal of this switch will cause coolant to flow out so be ready for a small mess.
The threads on the switch came pre-treated with a sealer but I also went ahead and applied some coolant safe RTV to the outside edge of the switch for good measure. One of the biggest reason for wanting fuel injection was so that I could pass a visual smog inspection but one of the biggest benefits of having a fuel injection system is that I could ditch my piece of crap Carter BBD carburetor! No more crappy idle, no more stalling at the most inopportune moments and no more miles and miles of vacuum lines under the hood.
Just so you know, there are other fuel injection kits available out there like the Mopar MPI but cost was a factor for me. The instructions that come with the Howell TBI kit is more intended for a YJ and may seem a bit confusing at times. This write-up was written for a Jeep CJ with a engine so there will be differences along the way.
Begin this project by disconnecting the negative battery lead. Clean off any gasket material left behind with a gasket scraper or razor and then seal the hole using the block off plate and new gasket provided with the Howell TBI kit. Reuse the old fuel pump bolts to secure the block off plate.
I decided to pull everything so that I could replace the few required with new lines. Plug the Carb Bowl connection port on the charcoal canister.
Take 2 of the old carburetor mounting nuts and attach them doubled up onto one of the mounting studs. Remove the stud from the intake manifold by turning the lower nut. Proceed to remove the remaining nuts in this fashion.
