ps does the stock carb have 2 fuel lines? and the weber only 1? which 1 do i use? top, bottom, both???

You are correct in the vac lines you need to keep. If,,,, you can follow the spagetti of vac lines, you can keep your EGR valve working by rerouting it's supply vac source. I can't tell you how to do it myself..

 

As far as installing the Weber goes, it's easy. There is a problem with the bolts they send with the kit though, (atleast the one from Redline), they're to long. But a trip to your local hardware store can solve that issue. Talking about the bolts that hold the bottom section of the adapter, to the manifold here..

 

You need to remove the fuel inlet connection from your old carb and install it on the Weber. You may have to put a plug in on the other side of the fuel inlet on the Weber as it may be drilled and tapped. Some are, some ain't.. Hook your fuel lines up as they were on your old carb, you may need to get some hose to properly reach the Weber. You may need to install a Fuel Pressure Regulator in the supply line to the Weber. Some have had to do so, some not..

 

Lot of people that have done the swap put a small filter on the driver side PVC breather hose, and rework how the passenger side hose, and PCV valve hose attach to the "F" fitting, and then run small hose of it to the Weber breather housing.

 

I have a write up of doing a Weber swap on my BRAT using an EA-82 intake manifold. I can send it to you if you'd like. Email me at tomrhere at yahoo dot com, using Weber swap in the subject line. You won't have to do everything I did, but it'll give you good info..

thank you Tom

EGR valve how can I get that part to work? or do I need it, or disable it, or where can i buy plates & plugs to remove it.

 

again thank you

 

Bob

the egr valve is generally vacuum controlled. You could use a vacuum signal from the carb. There are 3 vacuum connections on most DGAV weber carbs. 1 is beside the vacuum advance hole and the other is at the venturi. if you use egr then there will be less pinging. It does take a bit of power away. You could block it off with making plates from steel plate.
