Confused By Carburetors

If it's your first, start with the 32/36.  It's a good carb for the engine, and as JR says, it's very well known on these cars.

 

And it has plenty of poop.

 

When you lust for more zip, then the 38/38 is a bolt- on horsepower hit.  But it's not as well suited, as it's really

too much carb due to the way the 2002 intake works....  and thus, sometimes harder to dial in.

Please see the pictures attached, that is what I got right now. I think that I will need to change the mainfold right? If so then I could choose more easily between the 32/36 or 38/38. Any comments or ideas?

Whatever Ken says its true. He dialed in my 38. I'm sure he's forgotten more than I know about M10 engines and how they work.

That's a lofty expectation, John - but thanks. As we know, the seat-of-the-pants dyno is a valuable tuning tool.

 

To "hcueva" : I have many of the parts you're looking for, including manifolds for the 32/36 and 38/38. If interested, send me a message directly from the forum. -KB

Like most replies here, go for the 32/36 Weber. The only other decision is manual, electric or water choke. I personally have and like the manual choke - control freak, you know! And welcome to the club!
