  • weber yo

    hey guys so im almost finished doing this 1.1 to 1.6 conversion, its been a super long painstaking job but its finally gettting there. i have a few questions to help me finsh it off.
    first of all. the engine has a 32/36weber on it, and im not sure where to run my dizzy vacuume lines any help would be legendary.

    second of all. this was a kinda stupid mistake. but i accidentally droped the plastic speedo gear into my gearbox. my idea is to drop all the oil and try and fish it out... is there any other way to get it done? haha thanks in advance for the help

      There's a reason that thing's plastic, it's so when it gets dropped into the gearbox it can safely be munched up and removed via a fluid/oil change.

          There should be a vacuum line on the weber somewhere even on the manifold worst comes to worse T piece it off the brake booster line

            there are no vacuume lines on a webber 32/36, and there are two vacuume lines on the dizzy, so lost as to what to do. is it ok to run a line off the mani, wont there be constant vacuume and therefor always be advancing???

                ok so you cna just buy vacuume hose from your local auto parts shop like repco. i found the vacuume outlet on the weber. im going ot run the adcance to that. where would the retard been run off? if anywhere? also is it important to use the thermopneumatic valve or can i just bypass it?

                              yea, pretty sure that's right.

                              from memory it's for the retard when you back off, and it's not really needed. (don't think i had it connected on my old 1.6)
