Downdraft or Side? Or Just the REg?? Where? Part#'s ..

Just google weber redline or weber carbs and you will find several places to get one. Best bet for a stock L16 but dont expect it to all of a sudden haul ass! A stock carb would be fine too. You can get some nice used carbs on ebay too for a lot cheaper.

Yes, get a Weber DGEV (32/36) "kit" for the L16 at redlineweber.com. Get the adapter and cast aluminum air cleaner.

 

Don't expect it to make your truck any faster than a good condition stock Hitachi. Fuel economy should be similar, and power maybe a little more over 5500 RPM.

webercarbsdirect has the kit. it will come with carb adapter ad aircleaner.

 

you can use the linkake part of your stock carb as it will bolt on to the weber.(the cable pull linkage)

you still might have to mods some stuff

Great! Thanks Alot for all References!:thumbsup:

Holley 390cfm 4bbl on a Offy intake manifold :fu:

 

Weber 32/36 DGV is a great setup. Beware the jetting, as it hangs a lot of folks up. I'd suggest buying a couple of Weber books at the same time, such as:

http://www.amazon.com/Weber-Carburetors-HP-Books-774/dp/0895863774

 

That'll help your understanding and maybe help with any troubleshooting necessary.

If you buy the kit, it will be tuned for the stock L16 (including stock exhaust system).

What about when i run header is it better to get the 38?

Thanks..

Never, never, never, never ever over carb your motor. If bigger is better wouldn't we all be running 1180 Holley double pumpers?

 

You have an L16, one of the best stock manifolds made. Don't throw money away on a header that will do nothing. Spend it on a nice 2" exhaust system instead.

What do you suppose i run?? Flowmaster,Borla, master flo?..

Sorry you guys for all the questions? But i rather be safe than sorry?

Thanks.:)

Just change the carburetor first. Later you can think about the exhaust, which requires a slight jetting change to the carburetor.
