Title: weber carb
Post by: andykotzur on October 25, 2004, 08:32:14 AM
Has anyone got any info on adding a weber 2bbl carby to a 186?
Do you have to jet it down?  Whats the fuel economy  like?  Power?
I`ve got the manifold , adapter plate , and carby.  I think I`ll wack it on and give it a go. ;D

If it is the webber used on the XF Falcon it must be rejetted to use on the holden red.  I believe this thread has been explained in moderate detail before - try searching under "triples". I fairly sure this set up has been advised to me as an alternative to a holley or triples by another member

sorry... i forgot to add that the weber apparently gives good power and good economy by have a smaller primary jet than a similar holley, and under normal driving the secondary jet will not open up too often

a holley 320 economaster is also quite effective on a 186
