engine and drivetrain Weber 38 Linkage Issue

[dbmw2002]

Project creep on my 38 special, shes got more tourque and  is spinning my skinny tires way to easy, now I must get serious about finding the right shoes. One surprise for me is the gas milage seems same if not better, my knock off 32-36 was running way rich and the proof is at the pump.. Redline rules!

Update. The throttle rod from IE worked perfectly. I did some mild portmatching to my stock manifold. Then I bolted on the new 38. It was 26 degrees outside which was a heat wave to what it had been. I thought what the hell I will turn it over to see if will start. It fired right up. I was shocked. I let it warm up, set the idle and dialed in the dual idle mixtures . the factory settings were spot on very little if any adjustment was nec. I took it out for a spin and was amazed at the difference in the car. It went from being a sports sedan to a sports car. No stumbling no flat spot just increased torque and power . It idles much smoother than the 32/36 . I am very pleased with the 38 carb . I drove it a lot today and the wow factor was way up there!!

congrats ! i have a 38 as well and i am really enjoy driving it every single day !!!

yes it has changed. The linkage arm goes the opposite way to the 32\36 . it looks to me the easiest way to fix this is to put the rod in the vice and heat it up and then bend it the correct direction. I just need to spend some time with it to make sure that it will still work that way . nothing is ever simple in my world

when did they change...i've bolted on in plug-n-play fashion a lot of weber 38-38s and never had any issues like described
