New Daily: '86 Eagle Wagon

[DRIVEN]

IIRC, he had a Qjet on his 6. Carbs of that era were not friendly. There's a reason early 80s Jeeps often have Webers.

I've got an 84 5-speed wagon in my stable as well. It's a great toy and nothing beats it in the snow. Nice score!

Did the seller gift-wrap it for you?

Holiday tradition, every (running)car gets a bow for the season

View attachment 78371 If it has a carter carb, good luck. I think you could punch a few holes in a soda can and it would run better.
I have a 76 CJ5 with a 258. It had a one barrel carter I rebuilt that ran well for a minute. I ended up putting a two barrel intake and went with a ford mc2150. (108venturi) Wow, what a difference..I probably have a couple rebuild able 2150's laying around if need be...timo22

I believe it has a BBD on it currently, but I haven't really torn into it. I have heard the Motorcraft carb can be an upgrade

Same as my '56 Willys CJ-5.

there is a rule on this forum, without pictures we don't believe you....😛

Wow a Motorcraft carb, an upgrade. Yah the BBD carb is no hell. The small 2bbl Motorcraft carb is decent. The big one is a gas hog and most of the 4bbls are terrible. Those Eagle's are oddities for the time but I would own one any day over the current ugly crossovers, this being the first of the breed.

There was one running around town for awhile with some form of lift and 31"s.

axis and driven got it before I could... If you do a search you'll probably find his thread on non-g projects.... he had quite a bit of detail on them IIRC...

I occasionally look through the local CL ads, and they pop up every so often, but are usually priced pretty high... would love to have one. nice score!

Nice score. Don't forget to replace the valve cover gasket.
