Title: carbed to TBI
Post by: sourdough on April 29, 2006, 05:29:03 PM

I am trying to replace a (1980) carbed 151 with a (1989) TBI 2.5L.  The hydraulic clutch on my '80 CJ7 is on the drivers side, and it appears that the clutch linkage on the replacement bell housing is on the passengers side.  Any advise on how to convert? Also, any other advise concerning this swap would be appreciated.  I have the wiring harness, engine accessories, computer and I know about the external fuel pump and plumbing.

The 89 should have an internal slave cylinder with the slave cylinder line on the drivers side the bleeder valve will be on the passneger side. I think the AX-15 has both  the slave and bleeder on the driver's side.
