i see you're in washington. carbs.net has a warehouse in fife. i ordered a new air cleaner assembly this summer from them, and got it less than a day later!

hey thanks for the diff place to get a carb now i gotta get one. Oh and yeah i actually got my luv down in lacy from luvsick i dunno if u know of him or not. It was a long drive but worth.
Thanks Derrik

Hey Mad, did you get the truck running ok? I was just wondering cause I know he was having troubles with the carb and I loaned (another story) him mine to help him get his truck home. The last I had heard was that he couldnt get it running so he was getting rid of it.
I was wondering if you had better luck than he did?

LOL hows it going? Ur the guy with the other carb. yeah he told me the story. I took the luv to my mechanic and he said that he could rebuild it, but it wouldn't run to its capability. So i baught a rebuilt one from a fella in cali. And it runs awsome but i eed a new carb b/c it starts to spudder and then i pump the gas and then it runs good till i shift gears then i have to do it agian. But all in all it runs good and i luv the truck.
Thanks Derrik

Yeah I'm the other guy !! and I can only imagine what he told you. Well anyway glad to hear that you got it running

i got my weber for christmas from http://www.webernorthamerica.com haven't put it on yet i got the luv torn apart to replace a front axle bearing and fix my oil leak. as soon as i get it back together i'm putting it on. i also got a pacesetter header off ebay but it hasn't arrived yet.

Who did you get a header from off of ebay? Do you know if hes got more? I have been lookin for a header for my 79 chevy luv for months and dont know where to get one.

also, have to ask... what is the best carb that webers got to use on the luv truck?

The best carb to replace the stock one is the 32/36. I have the dgev with electric choke. Depends on what you really want to use.

i think a 38mm on the litte 1.8 might be a little much. the 32/36 would probably be a better choice.

now, if it was bored out, cammed up, and had a header it might make things a little different

ok im not that car smart....whats cammed up? I know my engine was bored for rebuild but dunno bout "cammed up". Whats it take to do it?

Bigger duration, more lift cam. You may have to consult a machine shop, or call competition cams and talk to a tech guy about a special grind cam for higher perf.

there is another header on ebay like the one i bought and its the same seller. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... gory=33631 i am very happy with the looks of it, it even came sealed in the pacesetter box. its not flimsy metal like alot of headers you see. also i bought the weber dgev-ic 32/36 this is the electric choke model. i shopped arounf for prices and found it was cheapest to buy it from weber. http://www.webercarbsdirect.com/inc/pdetail?v=1&pid=330

just as good as weber? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 2450455474
Is there a difference? Also, do i need a different fuel intake to handle the fuel this carb will dump?

Nate, I would just save up and buy the weber 32/36 carb. I try not to buy something off of ebay unless I plan on rebuilding it anyway.

there's often good deals on new webers on ebay to be had

i have a manual choke 32/36 in my toyota, it's a good carb but the choke is a pain in the ass. if i had any say in it, i would have gotten a water choked weber. it taps into the cooling system and gradually opens the choke plate as the engine warms up

Would a Carb out of a 81 Series engine work on a 73? I want to dump that manual choke. The other problem that I have is that the carb stands up too high so I can't put the air cleaner on the engine where it needs to go without having the hood popped open



Lemme kno!
