I had a ton of problems with my 82 cj5. I swapped the bbd to a weber 32/36, and I changed to an HEI distributor from summit and it runs like a dream. I got to cut out almost all of the wiring, the stock computer, lots of stuff probably 60 percent.

whoever came up with the wiring on the old cj's had to be the Master of Darkness!

I am going to do this conversion this week. Did you have to drill out the holes for the taps or where the holes deep enough? If you did drill, how deep did you go? I've heard where one guy drilled through the head and got coolant.

I did not drill, just tapped the existing holes, seemed to work fine.

I am doing this conversion now on a 84 cj7, how did you get the old studs off the rocker arm guides? There are the two on top that held the old plastic cover on

Mine were already removed so I didnt have to deal with it. Might be some other youtube videos that show it. Good luck!

Doing this soon. How tough was it to get the back bolt off? Did you have to remove any hoses for access?

My Jeep had Californai emmision crap so I had to push a lot of hoses out of the way, If I had to do it again I would put a threaded stud in the hole and then put a nut on it. This wouold also help in lining up the gasket and the valve cover.

Hey what year is your jeep? cant seem to find a valve cover like that for a 1980 cj7? can you help

My Jeep is an 81. I just ordered that valve cover off Amazon.
