Question: Weber Swap

[j_boy_619]

My stock carb is giving out and instead of a rebuild i am deciding to just get a weber. A fellow Rat is selling one but its a 32/34 from an L series engine and i was wondering a few things:

1. Will it work?

2. How much tuning if any required? How much easier are webers to tune?

3. Can i use/modify the current linkage or do i need the weber links?

In all honesty you should buy one that is jetted for the  A14.  with the correct adapter also

 

Although it will work, and you can buy a Jet kit to get it more "in tune"

Where can i buy correct jets?

And right now (due to a ton of financial shit going wrong at the same time) the 32/34 is the only weber within my price range

Not sure if the '75 is smog exempt yet? Will still not pass a visual inspection if ever required.

 

 

I doubt it will just 'bolt on'. It has to mount onto your intake and will need an adapter plate.

 

The B uses a cable throttle so if this 32/34 is from a linkage setup you'll have to adapt something.

 

Do some homework first. Be sure you get the air filter for it. It will be jetted slightly off for a smaller A14. The jetting kit isn't cheap and involves a lot of trial and error to find what works only to have a bunch of jets you don't need. Try to find someone that has already done the work and find out what jets he used and just buy them.

 

For under $50 I would rebuild the B's carb with a quality kit. Then save up for a weber.

Model '75 and older are [smog] exempt in California.
