Well I just installed the Weber 32/36 and it took the whole day but haha :D its worth it...:cheers: lets just say badass...but well theres a new problem. The coolent hose that ran into the old carb near the base has nowhere to go on the new weber. I plugged it up with a bolt but now the overflow is just that, overflowing...:wtf: Where does that coolent hose go with the Weber 32/36? :help:

It doesn't connect to the weber... you should read the how to it explains everything to do.
You don't seal the tube with a bolt.

I sure hope you plugged the coolant port on the intake manifold. A paper gasket will not seal the coolant forever and you'll end up sucking coolant into the engine... and your engine will die... make sure it is sealed properly.


By the way... what overflow is overflowing? You mean the overflow from the radiator? or the hose is leaking?

Thanks for the relpy and yes i did plug up the small port on the manifold with some magnum steel, another version of quiksteel i guess...I shoved a good bit into that hole so it shouldnt leak. Yea the overflow from the radiator is over flowing with like foamy coolent ever since i pluged the hose comming from the carb up. I dont mean to be an ass but i didnt specificaly see where the hose from the carb goes now...is it into the manifold?

You don't use the hose anymore... I think in the how to I says to plug it at the water pipe (The image just says plug the hose)... you can use more quick steel... if not just cap it off with a decent rubber cap.

You might want to double check that you don't have air in the coolant system... also that your fans and waterpump and thermostat are all working... the radiator cap could be weak also.
