[BUCKWHEAT]

is the webber 32-36 a good carb . is it worth swaping i got a stock carb now.what are the pros and cons.

[moparvwfreak]

i love my weber 32\36. great carb once its tuned right. gets a little worse mileage than a stock Hitachi but it does offer a touch more power.

Is this a easy swap? does it just bolt on the stock manifold? :confused:

No. The 32/36 bolt pattern is wider and deeper. And the bore centers on the Weber are considerably wider than the Hitachi. So you'll need an adapter.

 

I converted to the Weber due to the cost of a new Hitachi: $435.00. I bought a new-old-stock Weber (made for a Pinto) for $60.00. I made my own adapter from a scrap of 1/2" aluminum plate, a 1" hole-saw, a router with a carbide bit, and an 8mm heli-coil set.

Sorry to be a dick (this time), but, sheesh, c'mon, guys, use the friggin' SEARCH. This has only been discussed a zillion times. You would have had your answer already.

 

Easy? Yes.

Bolt-on stock manifold? No.

Pros?

Fewer parts than the stock Hitachi

Most folks find the Weber easier to tune & rebuild than the Hitachi

Cons? Not free.

 

You should also tell us why you're asking. Too many folks think throwing a different carburetor on will fix the problem they're having.

Hi Pete,

 

I woulda used Search, but your comments are much more interesting :cool:

 

Is a Hitachi DCH-340 a good carburetor for a Datsun? I have a Weber on there now, but it's not running so good, has a flat-spot just off idle, and pours black smoke out the exhaust pipe, plus it doesn't start too good when cold. Will the Hitachi run better than this?

[BUCKWHEAT]

the post is because i just got one for free and i wanted to see if it is worth the swap.

[ggzilla]

Is it worth the swap? For many people, no, they regretted doing it. For many other, yes, they wouldn't go back.

 

If you do not plan on revving the engine over 5,000 RPM, don't swap it.

If fuel economy is most important to you, don't swap it.

If you don't want to mess with or pay someone to change jetting for it, don't swap it.

 

Conversely, if the opposite applies, go for it!

I have twin carbs on one of my Datsuns, but for a my daily driver Datsun I have the stock carburetor.

thank you.

Yeah, I've heard about that, and I recall a recent thread about that. IIRC, the solution was a different secondary. I'll let you search for the thread, but here's some other help:

Free is Excellent :thumbup: ....as long as it's in good condition and/or can be rebuilt. You'll still need an adapter.

I have installed 3 webers on my cas and ran after basic adjustment.

installed another used on on Tana's 521 truck ran good.

all were used.

 

If stock carb runs then just run it. and buy a weber on the side when you dont need one for cheap.

stock carbs are hard to rebuild. Webers EZ.

 

but be clear dont buy soembody else used junk. most webers the rebuilt kit is really just a regasket kit and accell pump diaphram and needle valve for the float.
