January 27, 200917 yr alright we got a 2.8L S-10 truck in the shop today and the boss is taking it on on a trade-in towards another car.. anyways long story short, its got a weber on it. Looks similar to the ones that are being put on the soobys I looked around on it and these are the numbers I found 38DG0AS4A2 so I assume its a DG series carb. its got an electric choke on it. Is this going in the right direction for a sooby?
January 27, 200917 yr most everyone uses a 32/36 dgv. My guess is that 38 in front is a barrell size. If the carb is a double barrel, look on the base of the carb on the secondary side, DGV should be stamped on it with barrell sizes above that.
January 27, 200917 yr I Believe it is the 38/38 DGAS Weber Carb... Look at the Primary / Secondary Actuator Mechanism, if Both Opens at the Same Time every Time the Accelerator Cable pulls, So it is a Racing Carb that Must be More "Gasoline Eater" than the Regular Weber Carb... but can Deliver a More Powerful Sensation too! The Regular Weber Carb, which is the 32/36 has the Secondary to Open when the Primary Already Reached Around the Half Opening, Look at their Linkage. Both can Work on Subies, but the 38/38 will Suck more Gas... I Hope this can Help you. Good Luck!
January 27, 200917 yr More work than it's worth. Used and jetted for a V6. After a rebuild kit, new jets, adaptor plate, and then it's likely to still be a tuning nightmare... buy a new one. Trust me on this. The amount of money you will save isn't worth the hassle. GD
January 27, 200917 yr That would be a nice carb on a 2.3l in a Courier though. I happen to know of one that needs it's Craptachi chucked.......... (I think that's what it is, might be a Mikuni)
January 27, 200917 yr Those 38DGES webers used to sell for 300 on Ebay, if anything sell it and buy the right weber for your car.
January 27, 200917 yr the 38 DGAS is actually easier to tune. the jets are all the same for both barrels. But, if you are interested in economy forget it. this is a power carburetor.
January 27, 200917 yr Torxxx you've got to be concerned with a hot air intake in this climate, too. Kelly had problems with his hook up.
January 27, 200917 yr Is the carb in good shape, or is it worn out? I was looking for one for my ford a while back and gave up when I couldn't find a good one.
