raven1835 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 hey guys, i need some advice. i am considering putting a holleyweber carb from a pinto onto an ea82 eng. i know i'll need an adapter, and have to adapt the linkage and choke. what i am wondering about is if there are any red light problems, such as jetting [will real weber jets fit ? ] etc. hopefully, someone has done this and can steer me in the right direction. thanks in advance.

GeneralDisorder Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I would steer clear of the Holley Weber. It's a DFV clone but they have extraneous stuff on them like bowl vent solenoids, etc. They also have smaller venturi's than normal DGV's making them of dubious upgrade potential. Then you would have to rejet it - not with the same jets as a DGV because of the smaller venturi's....Get yourself a DGV, peen a dent in the power steering reservior to clear the choke housing and call it a day.

apintonut Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 hmm im going to hafta disagree the carb is a good carb ive pulled pintos out of the woods after sitting 10+ years and put gas in them and drove them with out having to touch the carb they are solid and reliable bigger than a Hitachi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
