Mike Gray’s 1974 CJ-5 Renegade
One evening in late spring I took my family for a ride in the jeepfan.com 78 CJ-5 which was recently re-assembled from a new Holley Truck Avenger carburetor and some exhaust work.

Holley Truck Avenger Carburetor Install
For 11 years this 78 CJ-5 ran a Holley 2bbl Pro-Jection throttle body fuel injection system. The system was rather simple and worked well. The trail advantages of the TBI were obvious on hills and bounces, the disadvantages were the computer controls and unpredictable failures.
