I am trying to install a redline conversion kit #K 297. Which is the progressive two barrel weber on my 2.0 l. I cannot get the manifolds to align up properly to the cast carb base. I have tried with the swap of manifolds, but if I can get it to mate with the manifold it is way off the bubble on the level.
Has anybody used this kit that worked or not. Daniel |

OK, I get it. I was just trying to get the "little Guy" more streetable. I have Weber's 44 IDF pair on it now. I have been trying to "tune" them now for several years and just thought this conversion might be the trick. I am wrong.
The webers need rebuilding and chocked down on the venturies and main jets. It has been loading up on fuel and killing the plugs. So I will continue to work with the 44's and return the conversion kit. I apologize for my comments and if anybody has a chart with the ratio of a main jet to the correction, if the main is sized smaller does the correction need to follow and how much. Thanks again for any help. |
