I’ve been mulling over this for about a month now, and I think I've done all my homework. The car I want to do this to is a 1984 Honda accord 1.8 liter, has cruise, no A/C. it also has 232000 miles on it, but still runs very well, besides the stalling... that’s why I want a new carb. So, I am just going to start listing everything I’ve been thinking about. You guys give me advice
Disadvantages- no more temp sending unit, possibly no more cruise (2g cruise doesn’t run on vacuum like 3g, but it does have a vacuum connection to it), 2g carb is different than 3g... so I might come across problems people don’t know how to fix.
Advantages- no more stalling or misfiring (hopefully), better accelerator response, easier to work on, un-clutter engine compartment, more reliable, and most importantly... ill learn more about carburetors!
So, here is what I plan to do... unless someone convinces me otherwise. Remove old carb, clean off intake manifold, connect 2 heater hoses together that used to connect to manifold, cap all holes on manifold and seal the coolant hole on the top with metal sealant, install new Weber carb, cover vacuum hole on Weber carb, connect vac advance diaphragm hoses to back of manifold, modify throttle cable linkage, reconnect fuel line to carb... adjust carb to idle right... and I'm good to go... right?
I'm sure I’m missing something... that’s where you guys come in.
When I’m done with all this, I can also remove the black box, charcoal canister, and vacuum canisters. I may also remove the egr pipes going to the exhaust manifold... well see. And where does my pcv filter go? Should I just get one of those filters that lets the air from the crankcase escape right into the engine compartment?
Guys, I know you are all probably out there shaking your heads and feeling sorry for me and my stupidity. But hey, I’ve got time on my hands right now, and I’ve been doing work on my car for a while now. So, give me some advice, ask for clarification, do what you can to help me out. If it will help, ill take off the air cleaner housing and take pictures of my carb.
Maybe when I’m done, ill be knowledgeable enough to make a how-to on putting Weber’s on a 2g. :D
Anyway, that’s about it. If I missed something, let me know. All you 2g experts (phydeaux), tell me what I missed. And all you carb experts (a20a1) make sure to dumb down your answer to me so I can understand what you are saying. :bow:
Sorry about the long post, I have a lot of thoughts racing through my head right now. Thanks everyone!
