this is my buds he just got her after been in a barn for the past 20 years. the 72 was the year when amc bought jeep and to say look what we had they fit a 304 under the hood they had to stretch the whole front end but they did it. well she gets nasty when you give her some gas. then she started running rough. thought maybe a bad cam so went to pull it out and took of the intake to find this

Your posting just made me think of the C.W. McCall song about the CJ-5 with 'smokey' on his tail...
