Trigger Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I've had a quick search about this but can find out much info... Wondering who the Weber specialties are (on here, or workshops, etc) I'm trying to mount a 32/36 carb onto my Mitzy 4G63 (SOHC) have "made up" a mounting plate etc (see pic) and with carb "on" plate The Question is... Is the way I've mounted the Weber ok? Because, the "factory" carb has the accerator cable running to the BACK of the carb, but I've got the accerator cable on the FRONT of the Weber (fuel bowl to the back) So I'll need to suss out how to "hold" the cable and run the fuel lines etc (not a major) but just wanting to make sure I had done everything right so far Ford guys... (but have noticed 2litre Pinto's have the same carb around the other way tho?) note: the factory Mitzy carb's ports have the "bigger" of the two on the inside (closest to engine) so I've mounted the Weber the same way around, and also honed out the inlet and adaptor plate to match this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I had it round the other way, ie: mismatched ports, on the Celeste and it worked mint. Would make fuck all difference and makes mounting it way easier. Do it that way also I vote, just port the manifold and adaptor if need be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 True... But it might be easier (for me) to leave it how it is, and not have to make up new adaptor plate and re-hone the inlet etc (esp. IF its not gona make fuck all diff, either way around) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testament Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 the float bowl is definitely supposed to face forward. how much it matters is another question, it will probably mean you will be more likely to get float bowl surge/needle flutter under braking. If thats going to be an issue in the real world im not sure. also, funny you said weber specialties - thats a shop in auckland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Does not cause a problem on a 2l pinto which runs it same way you are. Will be sweet. Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 So the way I have it NOW, is the same as 2l pinto? (thought it was the other way around?) Either way you reckon it'll be sweet? cos I dont really want to change everything (inlet/plate) "also, funny you said weber specialties - thats a shop in auckland" (yea I've been pricing a "new" 32/36 from there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Whish is less work- Fucking with the inlet or making up a throttle cable? I used standard cable and just flicked the linkage from my aisan onto the weber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trigger Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 Im sure everyones bored of this but... I got this book today to check out fitment etc (just borrowing, so have to learn fast) It covers the 32/36 and (the little I've read) says... "the float chamber should face the front of the vehicle with the float fulcrum pin axis across the vehicle; this will diminish the effect of acceleration, braking and hill climbing on the fuel level in the float chamber" So think I'll try spinning "my" carb around and work backwards from there but I'll keep reading and see what else they reckon aswell...
