engine and drivetrain Intake Manifold

[chattblacksmith]

So I am studying this site thoroughly. My question is will the Weber 32/36 EC bolt up to the factory Intake Manifold with no or little modification, or do I need to get the after market manifold from IE. What are the advantages to having the Cannon Manifold over having the factory manifold? Also what are all of the modifications that need to be made to make the Weber switch. Thanks for all the info you all are posting on the forum. I am deployed overseas right now and when I get home I plan on doing a ground up restoration on my 72 2002 that I was given by my grandfather.

 

Cheers,

Chris

Assuming that you have the factory 2 barrel manifold it will bolt right up. Don't worry about 'hogging' or opening out the ports to match the carb. You will not notice the difference and hogging the whole thing is bad for intake charge speed.

You should be able to use the same rod accelerator linkage and, depending upon the type of choke the Weber comes with this can eitherbe set up like the Solex water cchoke, wired to a switched 12v if electric.

Well I am going to go with the electric choke. It just seems like less to deal with. The motor has been rebuilt back to stock specks. What would be the proper jetting for this carburator? This car has never ran as well as i thought it should even after the engine rebuild and it has alwyas seemed to be issues with the carb. Evert time we has issues like this with Triumphs the Weber swap was the first and only solution. Thanks for your input.
