Sorry to bring back an older thread but I have a question now after reading through all this... I'm new to AMC so forgive my lack of knowledge here... but my 68 American which I believe has a 199/6cyc.. has a weber carb, was already installed when I purchased the car, not sure what model I never looked just thought it was stock equipment.. mine appears to be on the stock intake, compaired to the pic posted by Pdok my carb is turned 1/4 turn counterclockwise, with the linkage faceing the firewall... So my questions are... was it counter productive to even put this carb on? Is it hurting anything? car seems to run just fine, and should I check the intake to see if it is a 1BRL. and maybe find a 2BRL. for more "performance"..... Thanks

I think all the 199 Ramblers were 1bbl, I know my old one was. The 232 was also a 1bbl, with a 2bbl as an option.

But it's no problem to bolt a 2bbl. manifold from a 232, or 258 on a 199.

All 199s were 1V, but as mentioned, the 232/258 2V intake bolts right on. The Weber carbs were never used from the factory, but they are very popular upgrades in the Jeep community. Lots of kits pout there for the conversion, search "Jeep Weber upgrade". The Weber you have is much better than the old factory carb, 1V or 2V.
