naru Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Those pictures aren`t of older models,but Hitachi carbs that were used before and after 82.You are lucky enough to have a Carter/Weber used on some 82-84s. No kits anymore AFAIK,but,individual parts are available from the dealer,I believe. If you do take it off,be sure to check the screws that hold the throttle body section to the float bowl section for tightness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6 Star Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Off topic I know, but could we see some pics of your '82? I really like the '82s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegablade Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Off topic I know, but could we see some pics of your '82? I really like the '82s. Thats too bad i didn't know sooner, i just sent an 82 wagon to the crusher this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kustomautos Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 its always my luck to buy something hard to find parts for, i took it apart 6 months ago, but ive learned quite a bit about carbs so im going to try and see if i can make her run this time. I plan on this being my daily a dumptruck ran a stop light and totaled my 08 dodge dually that i paid off that day. Yes it does have the third eye, plaid interior, and t tops...dang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6 Star Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 She looks pretty solid. Best of luck with her, and I like your shop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kustomautos Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 Another question, what would i need to do to make it fuel injected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kustomautos Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 thankyou, its 3000 square foot i can do just about anything...but make a brat run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihscout54 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 what would i need to do to make it fuel injected? http://www.leoneturbo.com/docs/EA81_SPI_guide.pdf Thanks to GD, there is no other way to go, especially since youll have to swap manifolds for any other bolt on options anyways. I tried several custom and bolt on carbs none compare. Dont waiste time or $$$ on carbs for these... SPFI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kustomautos Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 Thankyou, i really appreciate it...time to go shopping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naru Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 You might want to check out ej-22 swaps as well. Seems a lot easier to buy a gasket and whatever else you need from the dealer though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kustomautos Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 I think that could work too, just have to find a turbo for it if I do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
