SRSANDS Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 I recently picked up a Weber 32/36 off a L20 truck in the scrap yard. This carb has the two inch adapter plate. Will this work on my L16 besides not fitting under the hood after the airfilter is installed. Let me know if anyone else is running one of these or has tried it out. I like the way it looks and have two hoods so I was thinking of cutting a nice neat square where the Weber chrome airfilter sticks out and putting a small scoop on it.....I know some of you guys hate to see a Datto 510 all hacked up but thats what I like to do on my project cars....something other than stock looking:p Quote Link to comment

datsunfish Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Have you actuallt tried to mount the hood and check for clearance? If it doesnt fit I would trade you straight across for a 1 piece 1/4" adapter plate. Quote Link to comment
SRSANDS Posted September 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Yes the trade sounds like a possibility. First I want to get it running. Then I may decide to hack a small square hole in my hood and add a Z trurbo scoop...I dunno. Another option I have is to change the weber air filter to a thinne one. The one I have is 1.75 and I heard they make down to 1 inch??? Has anyone seen or use a filter that thin???? Let me know Quote Link to comment
Cuts metal like mad Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 the tall adapter is more desirable, and that filter you have looks like the shorty one. Quote Link to comment
zed Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 that's a beautiful neat engine bay you've got there... Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I member some one here used playdough to find out the clearance of the air filter from the hood. You can try that out too see how much room/clearance you might need? Quote Link to comment
racerx Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 yep..that's whta I had to use on my dime too. Kinda of defeats the purpose of having a 32/36 weber when a bigger air filter is better.... Quote Link to comment
SRSANDS Posted September 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Hey can somebody look at the my pics above and tell me if the spacer (brown fenolic plate) is in the right spot below the 2 inch adapter? I have a feeling it should be below the carb! between the carb and the spacer????? Quote Link to comment

I have a feeling it should be below the carb! between the carb and the spacer????? You got it right besides, it won't fit on top of the adapter. About putting a scoop on your hood, why not just remove high beam light on the driver side. This will give you the same effect as the scoop. Just like this.. Quote Link to comment
