Installing dual carbs for the first time, Nevermind! Sticking with the Fuel Injection Options

[JRust]

Okay so I am putting a nice set of dual weber 40's on the LE. Going to get my break in miles done & drive it while I work on the FI stuff on the side. I get the basics of how to get them on. Was hoping someone could give me a nice step by step so I don't miss anything. Or put it on in the wrong order. I got the complete setup from Rich & he included everything needed except linkage which I picked up.
I allready installed the distributor & the intakes. I know I need to get my car to TDC & make sure my firing order is right.

Okay lay it on me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . In simple terms please (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

You'll need a synchrometer as well:

Prepare to become a meticulous expert in Webers if you want them to run right.

Float setting is critical because it affects the transition between jets.

Jetting is done via seat of your pants. What works on one motor may not work on your motor.

Idle jets function at more than just idle. Transition to mains is at about 2500-3000 and to air correction jets at 4500-5000 with F11 emulsion tubes

CLEAN EVERYTHING. Even new carbs need to be cleaned. All it takes is one little chunk to come loose and get stuck in one of the many jets.

If you don't have the rain tray on your engine lid installed, make sure to have rain hats over the air filters. Water can get in through the top of the carbs if not sealed up. Rainwater is bad enough. Depending on what you use to wash your car, soapy water is bad news inside a Weber.

I prefer the CBPerformance hex bar setup that integrates the pivot point into the air filter base (PN 3413 and 3414). Makes for a clean installation and no possibility for air to bypass the filter or water to get into the carb. http://www.cbperformance.com/catalog.asp?ProductID=547

Make sure the intakes are 100% sealed. Vacuum leaks are not your friend.

Invest in earplugs for DE's. WOT is loud, even through a helmet.

If you understand how Webers work, you'll enjoy them. If not, you won't. I have 2 cars with dual IDFs on them, one of which I have had Webers on for close to 15 years now.
