Carburetor: I hesitate.

[rpsaly]

Hello,
I have a Mustang conv 1966 200 cid 3 gears
I would like to change my old autolite 1100 against a carburetor 2 bbl.
I hesitate between a autolite 2100 and a 38 mm Weber Carburetor DGAS or Weber Carburetor 32/36 mm.
I intend to buy the adapter Clifford: http://www.cliffordperformance.net/Merc ... _Code=F200
I have read many topics on this subject, but I can not decide ....

My priority is an easy linkage (parallel with valve cover) and an automatic or electric choke.
What to think about the proposal StoveBolt? http://www.stoveboltengineco.com/acartp ... ductid=149
Did someone of you already tried one of these solutions ?
I really need your advice for not to make a mistake ....
Thanks in advance.

Stovebolt will give you the best prices we have found. They just won't give much technical support. If I were doing it again, I would buy the DGAS or Carter Weber carb. http://www.stoveboltengineco.com/acartpro/product.asp?productid=97 It has the correct rotation of the throttle shaft, so it should connect more easily to the stock linkage.

The other thing is to install the Duraspark Distributor with a GM HEI Ignition Module. Both can be ordered through Ebay for less than $100.

Buon chance!

I asked Stovebolt about Weber 5200 with a paralell linkage.
They answer :
I do have a new Holley Weber carb ($85.00) which will work well on your Mustang, BUT the Clifford adapter WILL NOT allow the carb to be in installed in the correct position to allow the engine to run when going around corners. (The carb MUST be installed with the linkage system NOT parallel to the rocker cover. The Clifford adapter will not allow the proper orientation of the carb.) We do not have linkage for this application because we deal mostly with GM engines.

I do not know what to think ...........

That's funny I bought a Clifford adaptor and a H/W 5200 from Stovebolt and my car runs when I go around corners, lol.

He is not really much help with the technical details but he does offer the best prices.

I bought a Holley/Weber rebuilt from him for 65 dollars.

He also sells a Carter/Weber new for 85 dollars.

You can use several adaptors, The Clifford is the most expensive but needs no modifications.

The Stovebolt adaptor is cheaper but if you use the one barrel base plate with it you have hood clearance problems and if you don't the carb is mounted angled to the head. See Red's.

You can modify it like Jammers did by drilling two holes in the adaptor to mount it correctly.

I assure you that with proper jetting these carbs run great on our engines.

Throttle linkage has to be engineered for your particular set up. But I'm sure we can figure it out.

Thank you Bob

The issue with the linkage has to do with how the floats pivot. If the pivot is parallel to the head, the car will flood on hard left turns; and it will starve/stall on hard rights. The issue is how hard you plan to go around corners. I split the difference and mounted at 45*.
