I also changed the engine out to a chevy 1968 327 small block. 1995 transmission and transfer case ,488 games commonly axel.shore grip posit traction. Got red of the spite front axle, put in a state axle. All of the vacuum lines is gone. It have a electronic ignition that runs off of a switch for the fuel pump setup.
Those vacuum lines are more to monitor the vacuum for the old computer and to let the computer it had control the air flow into the carb with what they called a TAC filter. (Not really about sucking fuel but more about routing air and controlling the throttle.) That throttle control is part of the stock computer controlled Carter carb. You could get a non-computer controlled Carter style carb and remove the need for most of that computer vacuum line(which is what others mentioned regarding the “nutter”) and even take it a step further and use an HEI distributor to further reduce the electrical running in there. Those are some thinking points to research if you didn’t want to go fuel injection(which is also a good route.) But just getting an hei and the nutter on my 87 has been a bit improvement.
Over the top of the tank a small rubber hose becomes squashed due to the body pressing down on it as the rubber body mounts start to flatten out over time. check its not stopping the fuel flow from the tank etc. I have two yj,s and it caused fuel starvation on one of my vehicles.
Thank you for the information, I really appreciate it! I happen to already have been told about that hose problem and I have checked to make sure it’s not smashed.
@@Coleman_Productionz Thats fine, im just glad to see that folk like you have the zest to try and save what i consider one of the most iconic jeeps ever produced. Hated by many at first but its sheer appeal now is becoming a classic not only for jeep but the rough country pioneer spirit of the USA. well done.
Goggle Jeep wrangler forums and they have a section for YJs and ask about it on there. Give all the details on the jeep. Normally some one chimes in to help

I have a1987 yj and I end up moving the filler neck to the driver's side panel. Using the same filler nick assembly.
The suction and return to fuel tank go straight to a PSI control system.

Concertinaing to Eli is crazy
Do a "nutter bypass " or better yet replace carburetor with a motorcrsft 2150 and hei distributor. About $500
