Offy use to make one but I don't think they do any more. Only one out there I know of Adapts Holley 2 barrel carb to Chevy 2 barrel intake. You may have to make one or try modifying a Weber Carb adapter by using the lower adapter and re-drilling the Holley 2 Barrel Carb Adapter to mate it to the Weber lower adapter. Hope this helps

Isn't a Holley 2300 a backwards Weber 32/36? If I remember right, the Weber adapter should fit and is only about $25. The real problem's hooking up all the backward's linkage. Of course, my memory's not what it used to be...

You maybe right. Back in the day the ticket was to get from the junkyard a Ford Motorcarft or a Weber off a Mercury Capri and a carb adapter and run the cable under instead of over to make it work. This worked on Datsun's, LUV's and Toyota's alike. Like you it was over 30 years ago when this was done so my memory also doen't serve me like it use to.

I am wrong (again). I checked and found that the Weber look-alike is a Holley 5200. I don't know anything about the 2300. My bad.

yeah, the 5200 is the discountinued weber copy.... not my cup of tea.... 2300 is the standard circle track mandated carb really... i was just thinkin...if i had one sealed up for a blow through application...... port and polish the intake...same with the head... and mill it and the block.... get a reground cam...hmmm.... sleeper turbo 1.8L LUV?.......pretty reasonable considerig the parts i already have laying around....

If I remember correctly the linkage of 5200 and the 2300 is opposite of a Weber. I thought in the first post you were talking about the 2300, but then I thought I was mistaken and it was the 5200 being mentioned. Now I know which one you are talking about.


Here some pics

Holley 2300


I think if you don't mind do a few mods I would try it. The linkage can be hooked up to the lower part of the linkage so you don't have to run a longer cable to run it off the top of the linkage and loop it around. IMO- The adapter need to be a bit taller than a Weber and be tapered to make up that the Holley throttle blades are bigger than a Weber. Post some pics what ever you do. Good luck.

I thought of doing the same thing, cause I have 2 of those Holleys. I remember that Webers was so easy to install, I went that route instead and was very pleased with the results. I planed on using the pair of 2300 on a tunnel ram, but I'm think of using 2 Webers instead to see what results I might get.
