Thanks Rick.

Does anyone know if the EMPI is as good as or at least comparable to the Weber?  I have a line on an EMPI that is about $100 cheaper than the Weber but I was wondering if this is a case of you get what you pay for.

Thanks for the reply.

I never heard of the MC2100 swap but I googled it and man was that gold.  I'm glad I asked my original question.  Looks like that is the cheapest way to go (and money is an object since I own a Jeep).  I found more information with positive results about the MC2100 than any other carb.   

From the posts I found it looks like it might be relatively easy to change but is a little more challenging to work out the bugs.  Will you run it on your new project or are you going a different way?   

Do you run the Nutter bypass on your Jeep with the MC2100?

Technical Advice and Questions / Carburetor Choice

Have been working on rebuilding a 90 YJ.  For the most part it is pretty sound mechanically.  Recently I started having carburetor issues.  I know that the cheapest solution might be to rebuild the factory setup but I want to switch it out.  While we were up at the show this year we talked to different people about the EMPI and the Weber kits.

Long intro to a short question:  Is anyone running either an EMPI or a Weber kit on a 258 engine and is either better than the other?  Is this the way to go?
