Weber 32/36 Carburetor tech section article. You can buy an adapter from Redline or various stores.

? It is a fairly simple carb (except for the linkage on the outside).

Agreed on the fuel level. Just look in the sight glass. If it is too high, the problem is the float & valve, nothing very complicated. If it is low, crank the engine for 30 seconds to pump up the fuel level, then check it again.

Another problem could be a bad head gasket making it wet inside. Do a compression test: it is simple and easy to do.

you probably don't need smog inspections anymore, get a weber!

If it is a 76, you still need to have a smog check. So, don't get rid of it yet! The choke will not make the carb "wet" it will smoke like a b!tch! Tip on rebuild... Pay someone with alot of experience. That particular carb is one of the hardest nissan ever made to rebuild right. If you do it, TAKE YOU'RE TIME!!! try to put parts in order.

the weber 32/36 dgav just needs an adaptor plate.

there is a little glass window with a mark that shows where the fuel level should be.

you may want to have an expert rebuild that thing, i was never brave enough to do it.

the carbie was soaked with gas when i yanked it off..... it seemed like it was trapped in there, amd the car wouldn't fire when we put gas directly in the carb. the lines all looked decent, could it be a vacuum leak? as i said it died while driving,.... going down a hill i might add.

i was hoping to be legal.

the state would rather i bought another newer car and paid higher VLF.

i bet 1975 and earlier cars went up in value a bit after that happened.

a rebuilt carb should be about $150, then all you gotta do is hook up all those vacuum lines, but since you're a 76 model it's probably much easier.

"governator" means he's unlucky enough to be here in alta california

i'd never mess with a '76 or newer datto unless i lived in a state with no smog check

(but obviously b210sleeper doesn't mind)

properly tuned webers get good gas milage - it's all the extra power that a weber brings that makes you get bad milage. ;)

too bad i recently sold my emissions carb for like $5

is the fuel bowl lever correct?
