chevygirl85 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Hello again to all :) I am still working on this very long process of installing a Weber carb on to my '84 Nissan 720 z24..I was wondering if anyone had pics available of how exactly the linkage is suppose to be hooked up on this engine...I had boughten just the carb off of a friend and am in the process of piecing it together but without the help of instructions (or my friend not knowing anything about Nissan's) it is making this process quite a difficult one...I have got everything for the carb (air filter, adapter plate, extra hoses, etc) but do not have the linkage set up that apparently comes only in the conversin kit from Weber.. If I could get a pic of how the linkage is suppose to be set up on this engine with the use of the stock linkages I will be golden (or at least I think I will be)! Thanks in advance!

datzenmike Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Contact http://community.ratsun.net/user/2344-sealik/ who has a weber on a Z24. I think he had to flip the throttle around or but the Z carb part on it. Quote Link to comment

izzo Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Correct, just flip the linkage around, so it goes on the bottom, and it works. I had one on my old pickup. Dont think i ever got a pic tho :\ Quote Link to comment
chevygirl85 Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 So I have found 2 pics online of webers on z24's...but both were different?? One had the carb on with the linkage facing out towards the radiator and the other had the linkage facing back towards the cab of the truck...Which is the correct way to hook up it up?? LOL I am getting all confused more than I was this morning...I know depending on which way the carb is to be bolted to the intake manifold will determine which way the trunnion is put on but which way...? Ok so where the cable runs should be facing down towards the ground like this....? Or should be facing up towards the sky like this...? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 The 720 pulls from the direction of the pass side fender so this would be best if the linkage is away from the rad. This set up would be best if the linkage is facing toward the rad... (if the cable will reach that far over) Doug, a little help! . Quote Link to comment

Sealik Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 And...on the L20B IM Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 on mine, the linkage was facing the firewall. Quote Link to comment
chevygirl85 Posted March 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Awesome! Sealik I had posted this thread before I had messaged you but thanks a lot for posting the pics on here as well :) I had figured that was the way the carb is suppose to be mounted on this truck but when I saw that pic with the carb installed backwards it got me very worried so I thought smart to ask first!

datsunaholic Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 The linkage is supposed to face the firewall. On both L-series and NAPS-Z engines. The throttle pulls are identical, the NAPS-Z ones just use a MUCH longer throttle cable. The only time I know you have to invert the linkage is when using a Weber DF(A)V carb instead of a DGV. That's because a DFV type is reversed from a DGV. Different distributors of kits would use either type. Quote Link to comment
Sealik Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Hmmmm...with this position, the 32/36 on the Z24/Z22 have the secondarys closer to the engine...whereas the 32/36 on a L20B are farther away. This is with the linkage mounted nearest to the firewall. 1 Quote Link to comment
chevygirl85 Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Ok finally got it! After I got the carb on and started tuning it up the starter decided to crap out on me...so after everything (carb and adapter plate, dizzy and gear, starter, new muffler, battery, getting and making linkages for the carb, and changing out the fluids) I finally won! Thank you all for your help!! I cannot tell you how much it is appreciated...here are the pics of the final product and almost all of the junk I got to toss. I also made a few modifications to to throttle cable plate/holder to make it even and fit with the new carb 1 Quote Link to comment
