carb question

[usmcreeder]

i have an aftermarket wber carb on my 86 CJ7, it was put on by the prvious owner so not sure exact model but has the rectangular air cleaner on top. i was wondering if it was possible to install an air intake and if so, the best method. i am new to the jeep scene so your answers are much appreciated...

First off, welcome to the site usmcreeder :ww:

K&N makes and adapter plenum for the square Weber carburetors.
K&N Plenums & Weber Adapter - Custom Plenum

I looked up the part number on Summit racing and it's $85.95

But, this will allow you to run any standard 5 1/8" air cleaner assembly. This would probably allow you to use one of the build it yourself air intake kits as well.
