My brother has a bone stock 84 CJ-7 w/ a I-6 4.2L, he doesn't wheel it except extremely rarely. He wants to make a couple upgrades to make it easier and more reliable for his wife and teenage kids to drive around town.
First thing is, his carburetor is going out. Would it be better to just have his stock one rebuilt, or buy a new one? If buying a new one, which one; he isn't looking for any major performance gains, although better gas mileage is always a plus. Here's Quadratec's stock replacements, but what does 32/36 or 38/38 mean?

Second issue is he wants to convert to power brakes. Is it as simple as bolting on a new brake booster and master cylinder, bleeding the brakes and you're done?
Third is converting to power steering, this seems the most difficult with a bunch of parts to replace. Obviously he'll need a power steering pump, new serpentine belt, power steering box, hoses, and a new pitman arm. Anything else, like a different steering shaft? Does anyone make a kit for this, or do you just have to piecemeal it?
Sorry for the simple questions, I just never dealt with this stuff as my CJ already had them.
Thanks!
