Thanks for everones responce- obviously a subject close to a lot of hearts!!!
Mick,
My engine is a stock, though nice and fresh, L20B. I have a woked head with port work and L28E valves. It also has unleaded valve guides. I have a cam, but am sure of the specs as I do not know a great deal about cams(It has WRC stamped on the end). The head and cam is of the engine at the moment.
I am going to uni this semester and it is on the other side of town(I live in ACT). I need my 1600 to be a daily driver, so Iam thinking of rebuilding just one weber and fitting it as I have a nice single manifold. This with the worked head should make a good daily driver and I can rebuild the other weber when I get more money. I am not sure if I want to put on the L20B cam or the worked cam. I will also put on a new 60amp alternator and water pump which I have lying around.
I go to Mt Buller for three months every winter so I am keen to keep the chokes connected. I live in Canberra and It also has bitterly cold winters (-5 degrees at night). The positives are that buetiful cold air that will be sucked through the webers. I am looking forward to the sounds of the weber echoing through the Delatite shire this Winter!!!!!!!
cheers
Damien

>That really is the sweetest sound... WOT and a big overlap cam and i start dreaming that i am mick schumacher...
>What size is ur engine?
>Is it stock or worked
>Cam?
>Not sure about vacuum lines cos i don't use a booster but webers are renowned for poor manifold vacuum. I'd go with Malcolms suggestion but have u seen the article on fitting tubes between all the runners on the manifold to reduce the 'pulsing'? I've never done it so i can't comment.
>Chokes? I never do more than pump the throttle twice and turn the key and it always fires up instantly.
>But I reckon Melb winter mornings might test it out. Where are u?
>You don't need a return line for webers but u do need a fuel pressure regulator if using other than stock fuel pump. With a worked 2L engine on 45's a stock pump would struggle to keep up adequate fuel supply. If U increase the delivery rate you then put bigger loads on the needle and seats in the carbs which could lead to flooding problems. I know a guy who was running worn N&S's in his L20B with 45's. He reckoned he could put up with the fuel dripping till he could get round to it. One day he parked the car with the left side up higher than the right side and the carbs did their normal thing except the fuel poured into the cylinders.. When he came back to start the car, the fuel 'hydrauliced' and bent 2 rods... The moral of the story is make sure the N&S are in good nick and fit a regulator to the fuel supply line. and don't park with the left side higher.. hehe
>K&N filters seem to be the best. Buy them once, and so long as u tighten the cover screw properly and don't lose the covers, ( i lost my 2nd one the other day) they should only need regular cleaning and some care, to last a lifetime.
>I got mine from Revolution Rip Off for anout $120 each
>I love the webers and have found them to be the most reliable carbs almost ever!
>Sounds like u are hooked too!

> On Australia day I purchased some twin 45mm sidedraught webers. They had every thing to suit a 1600, so I bolted them straight on. After a three hour drive (and $25 in fuel!) I decided that there is nothing that sounds tougher than twin webers at full song!!!
