#1 Is this worth getting?
Tyrie Posted on: 2004/7/20 7:17

"Weber 32/36 - $120
Rebuilt 32/36 Weber
Comes with adapter plate for Gemini, Datsun etc
Brand new chrome air cleaner

Found this advertised...d'yas reckon its worth getting to put on my a12?

It sounds like a decent buy and would should go quite well on your A12. I had one on an A15 and it made a fair difference....

ask the guy what it was running on to get an idea of how well it will be tuned if you put it on. (it will more than likely need to be tuned anyway)

What would be involved in tuning it?
I believe it was on a 2L escort...

chances that adaptor plate is to suit a 1200 manifold is very slim

it should run, but to run well it will need re-jetting, probably not a good buy in my opinion

its not a cheap exercise anyway really,
adaptor is around $50
rebuild and re-jet is worth around $200

just thinking some more, maybe it is worth getting

depends what price you can get the carb and rebuild kit for, full price for carb is $50 and rebuild kit is $55, i have managed to get both cheaper in the past though

dont think this is gonna be easy though, you need the right adaptor (if this one is not), you need to swap throttle cable linkage, and need to get it rejetted, you could also be up for about $40 if this doesnt come with an air filter?

Claims its rebuilt...how much for just the re-jet?


#7 Re: Is this worth getting?

not sure on just re-jet, but think around 100-120 still

[edit] in my experience they sometimes need a rebuild every 6mnths anyway

great carb for power gain, but not so reliable as far as running smooth and consistant for a long time, the car will always go - just not too well

that said i'd still put one on any day

Thanks for the help mate

--Carb was rebuilt and jetted about 4months ago.

It was jetted to suit a 1.8l Gemini

Unfortunately the adapter plate suits L series datsun’s, although you can purchase the adapter for your car (about $30 I think) --

What do yas reckon?

BUY BUY BUY!!
I got a 32/36 recently and it is a huge improvement over the Hitachi. It works far better at higher revs and if you have the right air cleaner the new induction noise is wicked! It may not be too much of an improvement at lower revs but it certainly sounds faster. Everyone seems to complain about idle and low revs with a Weber but mine is smoother than the stock and I have had no problems. I havn't hooked up the choke yet and it still starts on frosty mornings and idles right away. Plus I havn't tuned it yet, I'm actually running a 32/38 carb as the secondary has been bored for my Formula Ford and it is running a 200 jet on the secondary. Will tune soon tho as the fuel bill is rising but there are no hesitations or anything in acceleration.
My advice is to buy it.
