i had one of those on my 71 D400 flatbed and it drove me crazy. i read some threads on a jeep site and most people were having similar frustrations. i ended up getting an autolite 2100 series 2bbl carb from a early to mid 80's ford (van, pickup, etc.) and a cheapo carb adapter from checkers, installed it with a little linkage tweeking and never looked back. they come in two sizes, get the smaller cfm model.
