Well I think I might convert my Luv to E 85 and was wondering where to find a Weber to send in to have the conversion done.I have found a guy in Minnesota that can do the conversion to alcohol.I just have to find the carb to send in. I can but the adapter kit from Redline,but I think it would be better if I get a carb that hasn't been rebuilt to send in.I can put a Holley on but does anyone make the adapter?If i had a Bridgeport mill I could make it myself.
Any thoughts on how to proceed?

First question is why?
You'll see no performance benefit (or very little with a very aggressive timing curve) and a huge drop in MPG.

Also, you'll have to replace all the rubber in the fuel system to something rated for ethanol.

Trying to be more ecologically friendly.I know I will have to replace the lines.I am trying to show my daughter that there are more environmentally friendly fuels.But I also understand the performance end of it. I have a AAS in Automotive Machine with a performance emphasis.
