would this be any better then the carter?

dual webers compared to a 4brrl?

I just replaced my Carter BBD with a 32/36 Weber last week. The jetting from the factory is too lean and I had to get a jet kit for it. It just arrived today and I plan on re-jetting tomorrow. I really, really like how easy it is to tune and calibrate the Weber compared to the BBD. So far I'm very happy with the Weber. I'll be even happier when I get it re-jetted.

I used an adaptor from Weber that came with the carb.

I also installed one, found it to be alot better than the crappy 1 bbl that was on there. The reason why I went with one is cause on a old van the linkage is set up different and to make it easier dealing with it is the reason.
I thought about jetting also cause when I floor it it hangs up for awhile before it takes off, but as mentioned makes me think about that some more. Good luck with it.

Just wanted to update that I have finished re-jetting the carb and it runs great. I can tell when that second butterfly opens at about 1/2 to 2/3 throttle.

rejetted to what size?

Stock or modified?

I'd like to know how you have yours jetted.

I'm running a Weber 32/36 DGEV on a Clifford waterheated intake right now. It's jetted with 180 main jets, and I forget what idle sizes (can't recall off the top of my head), but I think 60 idle and 65 secondary...single pump jet. I'll have to check the sizes I'm using. It's running a bit rich, so I'd like to try 160 mains next and maybe slightly smaller idle jets.

I used to use the Weber 32/36 on a cast iron super six intake with a Datsun Weber adaptor that I re-drilled to fit the intake. The super six intake gave much better low-end torque.

By the way, your results may vary since I'm running Dutral duals with two 2" pipes w/ crossover to 2 turbo mufflers.

I'm running 160 and 155 main jets(don't have another 160), with a 50 single pump. For idle, I'm running 80 primary and 65 secondary. For air correctors, I'm running 190 primary and 180 secondary.

I'm still noticing a small flat spot in acceleration when I press more than 3/4 down on gas pedal. I'm thinking I need to get another 160 main jet for the second barrel and also step up to a 70/75 secondary idle. I tried a 60 single pump jet and experienced a bog when I floored it. So I went back to a 50 single pump jet. I'm almost at the point where I'm afraid I might be run rich if I go up in jet size. I'm only about 1 turn out from bottom on the mixture screw.

By the seat-of-the-pants feel, it seems like I have the primary barrel-side working well, but I'm thinking the secondary barrel-side needs more.

I'm not an expert carb tuner, so any feedback would help.

Myles, I forgot to add that the Weber is on a stock 225 super six setup.

I had to get a jet kit, it didn't come with one when I bought it. The carb came with 140 main jets. For idles, 60 primary and 50 secondary. I'm using the 50 single pump jet that it came with.

Thanks for the info.

I'm going to buy some more jets soon and see if I can get my Weber just right.
