THe carb conversion and the nutter are independent of each other. I did both
on mine and did have to play around with the vac lines. But then again it's
a manual tranny. The fact that you can idle fine with the auto and as soon
as you put it in drive it dies would indicate either your idle is too low,
or the idle speed sensor is bad - which you ain't got at your year of Jeep.
Hate to sound wishy washy, but check all your vac lines again, and do the
CTO!!

Yes, he just got the jeep home sunday nite, says he had to let it warm up
for 5 minutes before he could put it in "D", then it seemed to be OK.
We have to do alot of stuff on it this weekend, flush, new radiator,
hoses, hood hold downs and I'm ordering a CTO this morning so that I can
hook it up the way that page shows that Mike Romain had posted.

If you can could you take a look at your vac ball, ours has two nipples
on it, neither of which is connected to anything. It was never connected
since we got it last year so thats nothing new. I used my mighty vac and
the it seems to be OK so I might was well use it. What I need to know is
which side gets the vacum supply, the one in the center of the ball or
the one thats offset from the center.

That vacuum ball is for the front axle vacuum motor. How does the
vehicle go into 4x4 now?

I don't have a YJ or I would check the connections for you.
