Your web link there says invalid address. Unable to view. How much difference is the install between a 83 accord and a 85 accord?

The install between the early 2g and late 2g is pretty much the same. The adapter plates are different, but other than that, it's the same process. Rip out all the black boxes and emissions controls, plop on new carb, hook up choke, fuel lines, and throttle cable, then go.

Love it!

On a cvcc engine when installing a weber should i cut out the plenem wall from the intake? If so what is the purpose of doing this?

Good question, from what i understand it will help increase torque at higher rpms, but at the same time you will loose torque at lower rpms.... I think??

You don't Have to cut it out. I did on mine, just because the adapter plates didn't have the divider all the way up. The difference between cutting it out, and not is probably negligible. It's probably more work than it's worth, and may do more harm than good. It's hard to say really without swapping the intakes and doing a dyno test.

Yea i know the adapter plate for my 85 accord is just a open hole. I just didnt know if i should cut out. How well would the weber 38 do on this car? And how bad would gas milage be versus stock carb or a 32/36?

[91lowrider]

Is there a way to use the stock carbs throttle linkage on a weber 38?

[2ndGenGuy]

Never drove very long with my 38, but it was a drastic improvement over the 32/36. On my ES2 in my 84, I had a Weber 38, DC headers, aluminum flywheel, and a custom exhasut (2.25 I think?) and it put down 100whp, and 125lb-ft. That was with 310,000 miles on the engine. Considering the engine was only 86bhp rated from the factory, I think the stock carb and emissions controls choke the engine back quite a bit.
