CALsDookieDatsun Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 1979 Datsun 620 stock L20B engine I'm learning as I go. Had my engine rebuilt and will be putting a weber 32/36 and the studs don't line up on the intake. The 2 adapters that came with it also don't fit over the studs. The studs on the intake too close together. Is there any adapter kits anyone can link or possibly another intake that will fit my truck? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Where did you get your Weber? If from a yard sale the adapters could be for a Toyota or something. A reputable dealer like Pierce Manifolds sells replacement Weber conversions for L series engines with adapters that fit. Maybe you can see them about a correct one. There are also a lot of Asian knock off webers out there on the market. They are crap quality and definitely NOT Weber. Quote Link to comment
CALsDookieDatsun Posted November 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 I bought it from redline. It was recommended to me on this site. I will check out Pierce Manifolds and see what I can find. Thanks for a direction! Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Pierce Manifolds used real Redlne Webers. I find it odd they sent two adapters. Contact where you got and tell them maybe a mistake was made. Quote Link to comment
Jesse C. Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Some adapter are two piece, one screws into the manifold with flush allen screws and then the top on bolts to that and then the carb 1 Quote Link to comment

Maybe they sent the wrong adapters. I'll see if I can find those. Quote Link to comment
CALsDookieDatsun Posted November 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 @datzenmike I just checked the carb after watching that video and it's a real Weber. It has all the proper signage and stampings. Quote Link to comment
Stinky Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 Get ahold of Redline and.let.us know what they do. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 take photos of your set up on the manifold. 1 Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) I may be misunderstanding but,,,, You say “ won’t fit over studs”. ( I assume original studs) You have to remove the original studs that are in manifold Edited November 17, 2020 by bananahamuck Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 ^^^^ I should say,,, Most times you have to remove at least one set . Quote Link to comment
