Well I broke down and picked up a freshly rebuilt used Weber and then put together the install kit from Jamengineering. The total cost to me was $160, so not a bad deal. I'm not sure how the thing is jetted but I spoke to the shop that rebuilt it and he said it should be fine for a 1.8-2l motor, hopefully he is right. I got the carb put on today, I'll post pics later. I am figuring out the throttle cable and the fuel lines. The stock 3BBL had two fuel inlets from the filter, this carb has the option for two as well but only has one fitting, so I'm going to get a bolt to jam up the other side, I found out they are connected via spilling fuel all over the intake manifold lol. I'll keep you guys up to date on the swap, and will post a video of her first run =)
I am hoping for a good fuel mileage improvement, with the stock carb the best I ever got was 26mpg, and it was unable to pull hills, didn't idle, and was horribly inconsistent. I am so glad to be done with it, I have spent countless hours with my head under the hood of that car trying to figure out that goofy 3bbl and its floats from hell! haha
Cheers
