torxxx Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the sucker king Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 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.

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 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.

4x4_Welder Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank B Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Those 38DGES webers used to sell for 300 on Ebay, if anything sell it and buy the right weber for your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjim5551212 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northguy Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Torxxx you've got to be concerned with a hot air intake in this climate, too. Kelly had problems with his hook up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank B Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
