Holley/Weber installed (pictures)

Here it is...

and here it is again...

The linkage wasn't all that difficult. I decided to fabricate my own until I install the second one. I will then plan on using aluminum rods and standard fittings to create the connection.

P.S. Thanks again for all the information and support I received regarding this upgrade. It was well worth the money!

It looks like you used a Stovebolt set up. Did you? Is that the Pinto size carb? How does it work on your 200?

I have a 200 I'm installing in my Ranchero and a 250 in my Maverick. I was just wondering how it works for you.

When are you going to upgrade the exhaust system? A bigger carburetor will not help much unless you address the lack of breathability that plagues these engines. :

Nice setup with the linkage.

thats the weber 32/36

 

[Anonymous]

thedude, I upgraded to this one simply because it was cheaper than purchasing a replacement. My older YF was constantly giving be problems - even with two professional rebuilds!

It just made sense at the time. As far as headers, maybe next year. It's just a little tough justifying the cost of headers and a completely ne exhaust system if what I have is working well. Sure, I know I'm not getting the true potential out of this upgrade but hey, I'm now broke but the car runs fine.

Is the 32/36 larger then the Pinto carb? I will be adding a 6 into 1 header at the same time. I starting to pull the old motor out now. The new 200 has a .030 over bore, .040 off the head and block, lots of head work and a Isky 262 cam.

I have the Stovebolt reman Holley carb and adapter. I also have the adapter for the Ford-Autolite/Holley larger 2 bbl. Not sure wich carb will be best to use.

i think chris got his 32/36 weber/holley from stovebolt...right?

 

[hotrodbob]

I thought is was as it looks just like the adapter I got from Stovebolt.

Yes, Chaz, I purchased my DFV from Stovebolt. I didn't specify which carburetor I wanted but Tom recommended the DFV, which I think is slightly different than the Holley/Weber 32/36, and I said, "Okay, sounds good."

Nice fellow, Tom is, yep. Nice company!

Nevermind about the DVF and 32/36 differences. The 32/36 comes in different flavors. Mine is the DVF - supposedly. It's one of the easiest to adapt to the "log" intake.

hey chirs, im doing the same thing your doing. i have the 32/36 and the stovebolt adapter. are you having any clearance issues? the rods for the aircleaner are hitting my hood. so i am going to try and remove the heat plate and i should get enough clearance with that. i do like your linkage setup too.i was thinking about using a brake cable from a bike or simular but i spent all day today manipulating the chevette aircleaner to fit on this weber. one thing i ddint see was the pcv valve do you remove that?

 

[Anonymous]

yeah, your carb spacerlooks way different than mine....why is that?

whcih leads me to this question...if I bypass the spacer...do I need it or can I get rid oif it...or should I leave it and the air flow thru....

 

[Anonymous]

trashline & chaz,

As far as hood clearance issues are concerned - no, I'm not having that problem, yet. However, if I can't get an air cleaner smaller than say 2" in height, then ya, I will be having that same problem you are referring to with the air cleaner rods.

I don't have a heat plate on my intake. What you are seeing on my setup is an adapter for a PCV provision. It was on the engine when I bought the car three years ago. You could probably find one at your local scrap yard or ask around on this forum for one. I think they are shorter in height than the stock heater plate. If you remove the heat plate your carb. and adapter will not line up like mine. It will be a little off because of the intake bolt locations.

I can't rememeber but someone on this forum has a website showing the differences between the Clifford adapter and Stovebolts adapter. It clearly shows the differences in how the bolt up to the intake and the possible combos you can produce with the adapters and carbs.

Guys, if can afford it and you don't have the PCV plate or can't get one. I would strongly suggest you purchase your carburetor adapter from Clifford. Their adapter comes with the PCV provision. Your carburator may also set a little lower because with their adapter you mount it directly to the log. No need for any other plates - weather for PCV or cold weather provisions (heater hoses).

Just an idea. They are about 68.00 versus 15.00 but like I said, it can make this upgrade a little easier, especially if you don't have the plate like I have on my engine.

I have the Clifford adapter. I'll snap a picture tonight so you guys can see what it looks like.

I had the same issue with clearance before I got this adapter. It is pricy, but it works nice.

CFMUSTANG,
I have a close copy to your 200 except I went with a 262 Isky cam. I have the stovebolt carb set up and was wondering how yours worked out with the engine mods? I'm installing the engine in a couple of weeks. Some say the carb is to small for this cam engine combination.

First of all, sorry about not getting the picture up yet. My new job has me so busy, I haven't had time to get into the garage at all the last month or two...

Bob, that is kind of a loaded question. When I first rebuilt the engine 10 years ago with the cam and carb, it ran pretty sweet and did not feel undercarbed at all.

Unfortunately a slightly ovaled #1 cylnder and no money or time for about 10 years put the car out of commission for most of the last decade. Since I have had the engine professionally rebuilt (this time including all the head work), I have had nothing but problems. They appear to be carb and timing related and I can't seem to get them worked out. The last time I tried tuning it, I have made it worse to the point where it wont run once the chock turns off!

Honestly, I am at wits and and considering getting rid of the damn thing.

Anyway, I don't think it is undercarbed but I wont know for sure till I get the damn thing running without stalling whenever I engage the brakes. With the cam grind you have, you shouldn't have anywhere near the problems I am having.

Here is the pic I promised of the adapter that does not use the hot water plate...

Cool!

I had one of those that I purchased from CobraSix about 18 months ago. It must of been tossed out with the trash whenever we did our spring cleaning. Oh, well...I have mine working now and worked out the air cleaner. No ram air, but what I have works. Need to work alittle more on my fabrication skills.

You may want to contact the guy at stovebolt. He sells the reman carbs for about $60 and is a welth of info on their set up. I no longer have his info with me at work, but some one here should.

Wish I had some answers for you. I ran one of these carbs on a built VW and Datsun I raced and it worked great, but we did mess with the jet sizes a bunch. I increased the the jets a bunch over stock.
