PortugalAccord

Hello guys. I have a 1984 Accord from Canada that was given to me here in Portugal. I purchased a K727 kit to install a new Webber ,but the adapter plate is completely different compared to the manifold on the car. This Accord was made in Japan in Jan 1984 and it has what looks like a 2 bbl carb on it.it is all 100% factory but the carb leaks like a fish and I can't find a number anywhere on it or a gasket kit that might look like if fits,hence the Webber. The carb stud spacing is much smaller that the K727 kit and only has 4 very long studs ,the carb is mounted on a thick plastic spacer ( about an inch thick)and there is a fitted oring type seal between the carb and the spacer .I have resealed everything as best I can but I have a lot of leaks at the spacer ,carb base area simply due to age .
Does anyone know what the redline adapter might be for this type of carb ,I really want to install the Webber for ease of use and maintenance.
I think the carb/manifold might be different because of the fact that this one was assembled in Japan vs the USA.
I am trying to make this car reliable enough for my mom to use while she is over in Portugal on holiday ,as this car has been over here since 1986 much of the maintenance was performed by local mechanics with no real access to parts as this car had not been imported to Portugal .
Thanks in advance for any help with the adapter type
