Weber 38/38 Questions

[2002#3]

I have noticed Weber 38/38's (and probably other Webers, too) are often advertised as "for Ford V6" or "for Peugeot" or "for Ford Pinto" etc. 

• Are these carbs really mfg'd for specific makes?
• Are any, all, or some of them adaptable to play well with an M10?
• Are the differences in the linkages, tolerances, castings, etc. used in each make?

Thanks.

Not manufactured for a specific engine but jetted for an engine.

 

With the correct jetting and throttle linkage can be adapted to an m10.

 

Yes some use cables and other types of linkages.

The 38/38 WAS specified for a particular V6-  mighta been the Cologne 2.8, 

 

but I might be making that up.

 

In the early Weber books, it's shown with one bore feeding the right bank,

and the other feeding la rive gauche.

 

Thus, when you stick it onto a 2l with both bores feeding the plenum, it's

a LOT of carb, and not exactly calibrated to get off idle correctly.

Some can make it work better than others, and I'm sure there are manufacturing tolerances

involved, too.
