Cory3190 Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 What's the best place to buy a weber 32/36 Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 If I don't find what I want on Craigslist, I would generally buy from Pierce Manifolds, they sell Webers. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwii8rLJ_sDRAhXmxVQKHR6lBoYQFggaMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.piercemanifolds.com%2F&usg=AFQjCNFvnhjzMmX5QGoSez8kymjRWvF9Xg&sig2=SipM2803uI9DmvLVThE-Hg&bvm=bv.144224172,d.cGw Quote Link to comment
Rick-rat Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Weber direct, will probably be a Chinese made weber Redline carbs, cost a little more, but will be a real weber and worth the extra cost If getting a new one, call and be sure where the carb is made, A real weber has a raised "weber" symbol on the carb, a Chinese one has a weber sticker 1 Quote Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Depends on of you want a brand new one, with an installation kit, or a used one you can mess with if you have all the parts to make it fit. You also need to watch out for Weber "clones" that aren't real (like EMPIs). Webercarbsdirect sells clones with a sticker. Last I knew, Redline kits were still actual, Spanish made Webers.

Cory3190 Posted January 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 New is what I want, I bought a Hitachi that was supposedly rebuilt and I got burned pretty bad, it hasn't been right since day one and I've done everything that I know to do to it and it's still not right Quote Link to comment
Rick-rat Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 I just bought a real new weber from redline, have a 6 month old weber clone in the back of my truck now Quote Link to comment
racerx Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Stay away from knock offs like empi. Dont buy a use one on craigslist...go to pierce manifold, redline and weber direct. Go on line on how to spot a fake one. Side by side, they look alike. Get a manual choke, easy set up and try to get a one piece adapter, less prone to vacuum leaks. Good luck. Quote Link to comment
Cory3190 Posted January 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 What's the difference between dgv and dgev? Quote Link to comment
racerx Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Dgv is manual, dgev is electric. I personally like the dgv , manual choke. Quote Link to comment
Cory3190 Posted January 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 And has anyone heard of top end performance? They sell redlinecarb webers and it's about the best price I can find Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 When I said, If I don't find what I want on Craigslist, I meant I am looking for a new unused one, I see them all the time on CL, people buy them and never use them and then sell them for cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 DGV = manual choke lever DGEV = electronic choke (if your Datsun has the wire to connect to it) Quote Link to comment
Cory3190 Posted January 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 It does and I've been running an electric choke Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 So many people posting to this tread at this exact moment! Quote Link to comment
Cory3190 Posted January 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Yea, and I appreciate all of the help Quote Link to comment
Rick-rat Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 And has anyone heard of top end performance? They sell redlinecarb webers and it's about the best price I can find They say they are made in spain, carb only Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 I would expect that Top End Performance would be selling clones, as some of there other products are pretty cheap quality, but I don't know this, just making a guess, Pierce Manifolds is where I would buy, they have a good reputation, and you can get a person on the phone if there is an issue. 1 Quote Link to comment
Cory3190 Posted January 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 It's not just the carb, it's the whole kit. And they are selling redline, they sell actual webers made in Spain. Or do it says anyaways Quote Link to comment
Rick-rat Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Yes, my mistake Quote Link to comment
Cory3190 Posted January 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Idk, I'm just trying to make sure so that I don't get burnt again Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 If you're trying to buy redline, buy from redline. Service or warranty will be better. Spend the few extra bucks to be certain you're getting quality. I have a DGEV...I have never gotten the choke to work right. Carb was new when installed. Quote Link to comment
racerx Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Makes a difference when either manual or electric choke works, specially when cold. 1 Quote Link to comment
Rick-rat Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 I prefer my manual choke, works great 2 Quote Link to comment
HOGIE Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 I have an electric choke, if I was buying new I'd also go for manual I just bought a real new weber from redline, have a 6 month old weber clone in the back of my truck now How far do you think you could shot put that carb? Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 If I were shopping for another weber it would be manual. That e-choke sucks. When warm though-bee's knees. Runs great. Quote Link to comment
