so im lookin for a weber for my truck. I want to know is the dgv pretty much the same as the dgev? There is one on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 2458967361 and i wanted to know if it would be the same as getting a dgev. I might spend a 100 bucks less if i could get that one i think. Thoughts???

dgv is a manual choke, dgev is an electric choke. Other than that I believe they are the same.

Yep, that is it. DGV is manual choke, DGEV is electric choke (about the easiest to deal with) and DGAV is a water choke you have to pipe engine coolant up to and back out of. The 38 DGES you may have seen is basically like a 32/36 DGV only with both holes a bit bigger and primary and secondary are syncronous instead of progressive as they are on the DGV.

The big advantage of getting the kit from someplace like http://www.carbs.net is that you get the whole shebang (minus something to hold the cable I believe, but that isn't hard to fab up) and don't have to track down gaskets and an adapter plate. Not to mention something for an air filter. The adapter plate on its own can run $50 depending on where you can find it sold seperate, and the carb will not bolt right to the stock intake on a LUV.

You also may get different jetting in the carb depending on what it was sold to go into. The kit for the LUV will have jets pretty close to what you'd want unless you've got a cam and other mods. Pretty close is well within the adjustments on the carb, but too much or too little jets and you will have trouble getting the carb dialed in to run just right.

I would not mind a different Carb. I fixed the one that came with the truck, but she could use a boost.

You got a site that has the conversion kit for a Kharma Gia? The conversions from the weber to the Gia would be nice 8-)

look around carbs.net or in weber's catalog. i'm sure they have a conversion for a ghia or at least the parts to do it. probably should run dual idfs on a vw pancake engine(i think thats what a ghia would have), straight shot into the cylinder :D
