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. |

Thanks again for any help. It might be easier for you to give us the specs of what's installed in the 44s currently. That includes at least venturi size, main jets, idle jets, and emulsion tubes. Then we can give you a ballpark figure for you to start with and tell you where you're possibly out of spec. Keep in mind, all engines want different things, and no one can give you a perfect setup just by hearing what size engine you have. But we can give you a decent baseline, *assuming* that you have a healthy engine, and everything else is working as it should. Now would also be a good time to buy a copy of Tomlinson's Weber Tech Manual. If you own a set of Webers, it's my opinion you have to have this book. It's also my opinion that if you have carbs on your car, you must learn how they work, and how to tune them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) |
