Moosen Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 even then how do i know what to tag? and what to get rid of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idasho Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 you have to know what you are looking at. I only have 3 vacuum lines on my motor. One to the distributor One to the pass side firewall that goes to the heater One to the brake booster I would have one more if I chose to keep the EGR. But I ditched that too. Find those, and keep 'em. All the other vacuum hoses can go. Just be sure to cap the ports you are unplugging on the manifold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosen Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 Just be sure to cap the ports you are unplugging on the manifold Proper way to cap stuff off? or can i just plug em with screws? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowmastered87GL Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Proper way to cap stuff off? or can i just plug em with screws? I went to the auto parts store and just bought vacuum plugs. They are just little rubber caps. The vacuum keeps em on. But make sure they are a snug fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosen Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 So which of these do i keep and which do i delete.I do live in a cold, high altitude climate. (also this diagram is hard to read!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subynut Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 You need the big vacuum line from the manifold to the brake booster One from the Weber to the distributor And one from the intake manifold to the HVAC canister located between the passenger strut tower and the firewall. Everything else can be removed. When I did my first Weber install, it took me most of the afternoon to get it installed and at least the car running. It wasn't tuned yet, but I could take it to work, if I needed to. I took my time and prior to taking things apart, I read all about it on this board.

subynut Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) Exactly what I am doing. Thank you for this post. Now I know which hoses and where. Any suggestions on how to plug hoses? I pulled all the hoses off and picked up a box of vacuum caps from autozone and plugged the unused ports on the manifold. In the past, I have plugged hoses with a screw and a dab of rtv. I plugged the anti-backfire valve hose with a big bolt and a hose clamp. Later, I found an EGR valve from a SPFI engine to get rid of that hose. I have seen other owners build a block-off plate and blocked off the EGR valve all together. It's up to you. I did find that the vacuum caps needed to be replaced by 5000 miles. Seems the dry heat down here in Arizona has no mercy towards rubber caps. To combat that, I'm currently trying a different idea on my sister's Weberized EA82: I used some of the old vacuum lines and tees from the original carb and tied all the unused ports together. So far, the idle is happier. Will see how that lasts vs the vacuum caps.

kerandt Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 (edited) Ahhh, the Trans Dapt 2107 . . . very nice. Just remember to get the short air filter as it is a tight fit closing the hood with the carb lifted.

TheLoyale Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Yessir already got that one. On the way! Haaaaas anyone used the taller one, cut a hole in there hood, and put an air scoop? MilesFox has used a Cone filter sticking out of the hood on an EA82. But the filter will get wet and get clogged with snow, not the optimal choice.

Moosen Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 (edited) SEXY! Just came in. Running to town next week to pick up vacuum plugs? Still confused on which ones to plug. If someone could highlight them in a picture or something that would be awesome. Oh and can i just order this? Will it be enough to cover all the tubes i need to cap off? http://www.amazon.com/Holley-26-105-Vacuum-Line-Cap/dp/B000CMFPJ2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1331950017&sr=8-3 But then I am gonna get this bad boy installed next friday hopefully. The jets that came with it look like 160 and 170. And my alititude that i live at is 5000-7000 ft. mostly around 6000. so any recommended jets that i should get? cause I do not want to buy a whole kit really. Also is it okay to run the stock jets initially, i will just run a little rich right? Edited March 17, 2012 by Moosen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosen Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 Really looking for some help here guys? Do i need to get this whole high altitude kit? http://www.carburetion.com/Weber/weberpartsjetkits.asp it's $60 bucks. And I am going on a road trip in april back to portland, so i dont want to be jetted for high altitude, i will jet that when i get back.

TheLoyale Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 This is where the simplistics of Electronic Fuel Injection come into play, No worries what so ever I think the stock jets will work just fine for all your needs, I also don't know why you need so many block off caps...? From every other Weber conversion on an EA82 I've seen, I don't recall this step. Perhaps I am wrong. PS, I mailed out your clips tonight.

subynut Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 (edited) OOH! It's shiny! I live at about 4500 ft and the weber's stock jets ran a little rich, but I left it since my stomping grounds have a vast altitude range. Here's a fairly striped EA82 manifold: IMG_9048.JPG by subynut, on Flickr From left to right: There's two ports at the bend Next is right above the EGR valve (it's missing in the pic, but you'll see it on your manifold) Then there's the port on the other side of the EGR valve( I picked this one for the HVAC) There's one right next to the PCV valve The last one is next to the brake booster on the far right. (kinda hard to see since there's a piece of vac line stuck on it.) You need to block all but one of those small ports.

I live at about 4500 ft and the weber's stock jets ran a little rich, but I left it since my stomping grounds have a vast altitude range. well i currently live at 6300 ft and drive up to 8000 4 days a week. but next year i will be living at 4500 roughly and driving up to 8000 on the weekends. So what you are telling me is good news! also thank you for shipping the clips Loyale. and on a side note the gaskets that shipped with the carb were a little off and pulling funny so i trimmed em slightly. (is that okay?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subynut Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 [hijack] This is where the simplistics of Electronic Fuel Injection come into play, No worries what so ever EFI is awesome when it works. As things age and begin falling in and out of spec as the temperature and humidity change, that's when the computer has a fit and cannot tell which way is up. Usually ends in with false codes or no codes at all. I love EFI, but with 25 year old wiring and parts, things get really frustrating when the computer doesn't know what's wrong and the engine is fine one day with a CEL and a bucking bronco the next with no CEL.

Moosen Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 (edited) Well we are getting somewhere? am i even close? could you just cirlce them in MS paint? ahahaha cause this is what i got out of that?

subynut Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Looks good to me. As far as vacuum caps, I used an assortment pack. There were just enough of the sizes I needed to plug the ports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were just enough of the sizes I needed to plug the ports. Sounds good! I will be picking them up this week sometime, and then trying to do the install on friday in my buddies heated garage! Hopefully all goes as planned. Do I need to route the fresh air into the air filter? Also what am i doing as far as the egr is concerned? How can i plug that? or what does it even do?
