Nice140Y Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Hi everyone, can anyone tell me if I could use this carb on my A14 engine? Of course I would need an intake manifold. Is that available anywhere? Thanks. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Hi Enrique I would say a bit big for a 1.4 but Dave (pumkin-210) is running twin single webers... so do able if the jets are down sized to match. Quote Link to comment
datsunrides Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I ran mine for a few years with that carb. Don't know what jets were in it, but it must have been close. As far as I know, there are no specific mainfolds for the 32/36. Need to use an adapter on the stocker. Mark Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I have a 32/36 I bought on here from a guy on my A15 and it runs GREAT! Not sure what the jets are though. I don't think there would be a noticeable difference between A14-A15. got my carb adapter HERE for under $60 shipped. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Adapters are only $35 from the typical parts store. There are no special manifolds. The Weber DGV/DFV is a bit big for the A-series (they also fit them to 4 liter engines...) but they will run better than a worn out stock carburetor. I ran one for a couple of years until I found a low-mileage Hitachi. The Hitachi is smoother and more fuel-effiencient. The 32/36 outperforms it above 5,000 RPM. 1 Quote Link to comment

That's if you can find them locally. lol None of my local parts store stock them. If I walk into a parts store and ask for Weber parts they look at me like I'm crazy Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 that national chains like autozone and o'reillys can order the adapter. It's not rare. Heres an A14 Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 that national chains like autozone and o'reillys can order the adapter. It's not rare. Autozones vendor is out of stock almost 24/7 on it. I check it every once in a while. Most A-series parts are hard to get ahold of through AZ unless you have good timing. O'riellys down here must be too dumb to find it. Mine was 42 not counting shipping from JAM. Quote Link to comment
Dguy210 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 (Not my listing) but $35 with free shipping, tax added if in Cali: http://cgi.ebay.com/...=item4aa8145fe1 Quote Link to comment
Nice140Y Posted February 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Thanks for all this info guys. I have to find out what jets I have on my Weber. It was meant for my 510. Now I'd like to use it in my 140Y. The one selling on ebay looks like it may work except that it says that is for 75-78 B210. My car is a 79 (210 equivalent). Does anyone know if the are the same and if this adaptor will work? What's the easiest way to find out what jets my weber has and what jets would be suitable for the A14? Dazenmike???

ggzilla Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 A 1979 140Y is a B310. The Datsun B310 was sold as 140Y in the caribbean and as 210 in north america. The B210 was 1974-1978, and uses the same carburetor types (Hitachi DCH-306) as the B310s. So the weber and adapter are the same for A14 on B210 or B310. The 510 jets (for a stock 510) will run OK on an A14. Quote Link to comment
Nice140Y Posted February 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Wow! Thanks for all that info. Very useful to know. I may get an adaptor plate and try it. Thanks everyone. Quote Link to comment
LenRobertson Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 This is written for Webering L-series engines, but might help with A-series: http://dimequarterly.tierranet.com/articles/tech_weber_tuning.html Len Quote Link to comment
Nice140Y Posted February 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Hey Len, Thanks for that info. I'll keep it handy just in case. Quote Link to comment
