http://www.jtspeed.com/product_info.php ... s_id=23876
not saying i would get it from this site but would this be a good one thats compatable with my 1980 chevy luv 4x4 1.8L stock engine? I am in california and the site said to check if its legal in california to use. anyone know?

looks just like my weber :)
i have the 32/36 electric choke etc. runs great on my luv. not sure if u can get them legal in california since it is technically an "offroad/performance carb"
call the local smog testing center to find out before you buy

ok thanks
regarding vacuum motors -we tested with a vacuum pressure gauge. with it hooked up it reads 0 if we unhook it and test, the vacuum meter read 14 inches steady on idle.
i understand it is called a vacuum motor however there are no images of one to google and no parts called that. could it be called by any other names? i am in california and it would be required for ca. standard emissions. its hard to believe its not an available part unless i am searching the wrong term (chevy luv vacuum motor) the diaphragm inside the unit must be faulty as vacuume leaks right through it.
