geoff drake Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Hi all, I have been missing since I repaired the heater core with the help of someone here who had an EA-81 Heater Core swap tutorial...worked great, thanks again! My most recent problem was the carburetor, which two mechanics, and several parts stores informed me was a Hitachi 2bbl. (Keep in mind, I only get under the hood when I absolutely have too, so I figured they knew what they talking about). The carb was sucking air like a Hoover, and eventually the car just wouldn't go, so I located, and purchased a renew kit. When I pulled the carb myself (because my mechanic didn't seem too keen on fooling with a carburetor), to my surprise, it was a Carter/Weber 1bbl. After some frantic internet and yellow page shopping, I located the Weber in Jacksonville, FL. at National Carburetors for $149.95!!! (they are having a $50 off any carb sale to celebrate 50 years of business) This is about half what other rebuilders had quoted, and LESS than half of what a local shop had quoted me. Good service, and it fired right up. The prices I was getting for the Weber rebuild kit were $150-$160, so this was a screaming good deal to me, and the sale is through the end of the month. I still have this renew kit for the Hitachi 2BBL. It is by Holley, (#3-1357) brand new in the box, and available for any resonable offer, since it's of no use to me. Apparently there is no float with this kit, but lists 216-92 as the companion float #. Box also says it's for 82-84 Subaru. I had trouble logging into USMB, and so you guys are only getting the postcript, but it all worked out. Thanks for the read, Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
