Hello, Holley offers a direct replacement TBI for the EFI V6 2.8L of cherokee 85½ to 89.
I have a 85 cherokee with the 2 barrel carburetor. Does somebody know if the Holley TBI 502-3 is a direct replacement for my Rochester 2SE carburetor.
You can see it at
Thanks a lot!
No. It's a replacement for a factory TBI unit. Your 2 barrel carb is a two stage design. Small primary (front) and larger secondary (back). That TBI is a single stage design (barrels are side by side and operate simultaneously), so an intake manifold change would be required, if it's even possible.
Then there's the electronics you'd need...
Thank a lots for your information.
Then what do you think of this adapter plate offered by holley:
Well, if that adapter works, it would solve the problem of mounting the TBI unit on the manifold, but still leaves a sh*tload of other issues to deal with. IMO, more trouble and expense than it's worth, unless you want to do it just for fun...
