OK, I have removed all the fuel injection and have the entire kit from CB ready to go on.........however, here's my problem. I'm not much of a mechanic.

The weber install doesn't look to bad, but what about the fuel pump swap and hook-up. I haven't removed the original FP yet, but when I do will there be an extra fuel line remaining? Is it as simple as taking off the old FP and just connecting the new one. It seems one of my 356 buddies said I will have to block of a return line....(I have no idea what that means).

If someone has a guide or instructions on installing the carbs and more importantly the fuel pump please give me a heads up. The weber instructions don't mention the FP, so I want to make sure I get it right.

Thanks,

Randy

Well there should be three mounting points for the manifolds. Two are bolts on the sides of the manifolds, and the last would be the nut that goes on the sud towards the middle of the manifolds...are you talking about the nut in the middle?
That one can be a pain since you can't see it with the manifolds in place, however you could maybe use a mirror to help line it up, otherwise you can usually do it by feel, it just might take some creative bending of your hand to get in there.
Make sure to use all new gaskets for sure, otherwise you might end up chasing an air leak (ask me how I know)
