Step by step DIY Webber convertion + question

The vacuum advance port can go to the vac advance on the dizzy or you can just leave it capped, and run vacuum from another port on the intake...

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.

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?

[ADRIANFARINA]

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.

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.

[TotaledTL]

Metal box? I thought it just looped in a "u" shape back to the man.?

[ADRIANFARINA]

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.

Looks good!

[ADRIANFARINA]

thanks

used the other way inlet fuel line..



connected the fuel line and filter


had to rerute the crank breather and to connect it to the vacoom port on the manifolds side

[TotaledTL]

Might need a fuel press. regulator. Ended up putting one on mine along w/ adjusting the float.

[ADRIANFARINA]

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?

[TotaledTL]

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.

finaly fixed the vacuum lines


then I've started with replacing the master brake cylinder , it was leaking

[ADRIANFARINA]

the new one , what to the two metal balls do?



look what the barbarians did , they didn't find the right gasket so the filled it with rtv

more work

couldn't find the right bolts to close the water holes on the manifold .. so I cut the sensors like a barbarian..


started to work on the front suspention





this is part of the stuff that I plan on installing

[ADRIANFARINA]

everybody went to sleep on this forum?


started replacing the front wheel bearings

[integratuner77]

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.

[ADRIANFARINA]

thanks !!
it will also be nice if someone moves this thread to the "project forum"...

[TotaledTL]

I wish I had the time/$$/intiative/skill/etc., etc. to do all that....
