I’m still running the original YF in my ‘76 CJ-5. I went to California last summer and got 21MPG on the way there.
If you go off-road, why couldn’t you run the electric pump AND the mechanical fuel pump, along with that cut-off switch; if the switch accidentally kicked off, the mechanical would act as a backup.
They were still using the YF in 1976? (I assume your jeep had the four banger flathead.)
They sure were. AMC stopped using it in 1978, when they introduced the BBD.
No, my CJ-5 has the 258 I6 & T150 3-speed. The four-cylinder wasn’t available in ‘76, only the 232 I6, the 258 I6 & the 304 V8.
The four-cylinder didn’t come back to AMC/Jeep until 1980, with the GM Iron Duke 151cid.
