I thought that vac. adv. port from the distributor needs to go to constant (manifold) vac. to provide advance at idle- is that not correct??
Also you can reverse the fuel input barb w/ the plug so the fuel line to the carb will have a more natural path.

That would make sense. I've never tried to run vacuum from the carb's vacuum port before, so I don't know how that would affect the advance on the dizzy negatively. Probably best to just draw is straight from the manifold like you're saying.
Re: Step by step DIY Webber convertion + question
ot me confused here.. what should I do with the ports on the dizzy , the one on the carb and the one on the back of carb?
what about the fuel input?

Just hook up the first vac port on the dizzy up to manifold vacuum and leave the port on the dizzy closest to the front of the car unplugged.

That's what I did. The one nearest the distrib. I connected to man. vac. Had to salvage vac. "adapter" from some of the discarded stock crapola to use to adapt. it as I didn't see a port that small on the manifold to use.
Was there a quest. on the fuel input?
Re: Step by step DIY Webber convertion + question
is there a reason to leave it unpluged? i preffer putting a plug on .. cleaner look.

"it"... you mean the unused distrib. vac. port? If so then yes you can plug or cap it for a cleaner look. I did also.
Re: Step by step DIY Webber convertion + question
exelent!
to another thing , today I made a replacement tube for the PCV valve.
I couldn't find an oem shaped tube to go from the metal box to the valve so I decided to make an adaptor here it is.
took an SS pipe and used a small piece of it , also cut the original PCV valve ( also was curious to see why it doesn't work (spring was broken)) and used a metal spacer/washer to center everything out.

Re: Step by step DIY Webber convertion + question
Metal box? I thought it just looped in a "u" shape back to the man.?
Re: Step by step DIY Webber convertion + question
what I'll have now will be : metal box=>hose=>adaptor=>hose=>pcv valve=>hose=>manifold.

no. It goes from the manifold to an oil separator on the back of the block.

Might need a fuel press. regulator. Ended up putting one on mine along w/ adjusting the float.
Re: Step by step DIY Webber convertion + question
I remember reading in other posts that a pressure regulator isnt necesary ..

btw ,
the pcv valve installed the right way ? air goes up , not down , right?
Re: Step by step DIY Webber convertion + question
I read that also. However after driving approx. 200 mi. w/out one I began experiencing severe flooding; I then installed a regulator & adjusted the float to get it to run again. I mentioned it in the event you experience problems. Good luck, you deserve it.

Good work! I just did my wheel bearing yesterday as well as lower ball joint. Your projects turning into a complete overhaul. It will be so nice to drive it again soon.
Re: Step by step DIY Webber convertion + question
thanks !!
it will also be nice if someone moves this thread to the "project forum"...
Re: Step by step DIY Webber convertion + question
I wish I had the time/$$/intiative/skill/etc., etc. to do all that....
