Weberizing my '85 GL

Hey there,

Im up in anchorage ak and was looking to possibly buy a used (working) weber carb and entire intake system. I was feeling that the range of $250 would be sufficient if it was in good shape. Any feedback on what i should expect for a swap or weather or not this price is reasonable.

thanks,

neal

That should be enough to get you a decent rebuilt weber. Check the marketplace, you might be able to find a couple for sale. It depends on what kind of intake you have on your car, there's only a few different types. I couldn't get my weber on for the show cause I waited until the last minute to put it on and found that I had that crappy Carter/Weber one barrel on it and didn't have time to swap the whole intake. You should be all right though.

How much did your mudrat bumpers come out to be? I was thinking about stopping in to see john on my way back down to az in august.

225 for the fron and around 300 for the rear. He has a plain rear tube bumper for 225, I just wanted to have a tire swing out thing so it's gonna take a little more time to build.

You will need to make sure you get an adapter for your intake. Chances are, if its an 85 wagon or sedan it has a EA82. And if its a Hatch or a Brat than it has a EA81.

 

The Intakes on the two are different, but there are adapters out there for both of them. Look for Redline i think, they sell the carbs new and the adapters too. Its a common swap so it wont be hard to find one.

 

The carb you are looking for is a Weber DGV 32/36 or DGEV 32/36. Might be able to find the carb off a production vehicle and take a crack at rebuilding it, here's a link i just found... these guys will do it for ya:

So im only in anchorage until 8-15 until i fly back to seattle and get into by hurt box GL and try to limp it back to arizona. I found this dead or alive subaru shop / dealer (in anchorage) and apparently they can get me what i need. If the weber isn't in good order i think im gust going to forget about it entirely mainly due to the fact that i have such little free time away from school to do fun things like that. Much appreciated for the beta all around.
