I was going to say to check the HOWTO, but it appears to be under construction at the moment, so the pictures may not work.

There is also a lot of info in the sticky threads at the top of this section (Carb Tech). The 32/36 should get you about the same mileage as the stock carb, maybe a bit less. It will be way more responsive though.

Before you put it on you should get a rebuild kit and replace all the gaskets. Also check all the jet sizes as there is a good chance they won't be optimal for your engine. The proper jet sizes should be listed in one of the sticky threads.

The only modification the manifold needs is to plug the coolant passage with JB Weld or something similar. That's also on the stickies.

Dremel out the OEM throttle return on the OEM carb to fit onto the weber instead of the universal attatchments.


Post some pics so we can get more people on the dark side. :)
