Well first of all you have to disconnect all vacuums attached to the stock carb. I removed all of them and did not reconnect.
Here is the stock carb
Remove stock carburetor, by the four bolts the on each corner of the carb base. You might need to force the carb out because it sticks.
This is how it looks with the carb out
Make sure to plug the intake right after you remove the stock carb. I used napkins :rofl: but shop towels are preferable.
After plugging the intake, use a razor or gasket scraper to remove the old gasket. Make sure nothing falls into the intake when removing the towels
You can remove the excess vacuum lines if you are not going to use them and remove the throttle cable hodler and egr because they will be in your way. You can also eliminate the egr by plugging it or getting a delete plate.
Removing the rest of the vacuum lines
Since the weber came with the adapter plate intalled, all I had to do was put a gasket on the adapter itself before mounting on the intake. A gasket is recommended but I used RTV. It works just as a gasket and its all I had because the webber did not come with a gasket, being second hand, and all auto parts had to order them specially.
My brother applied the RTV, he is better at it than myself.
After letting the RTV dry for a while, you can start connecting the fuel line. New Webers come with all necessary parts, like the fuel line, but I had to buy this one from the Auto parts store,
Connect the PVC valve to the base of the carburetor
I don't have a picture, but you have to connect the Vacuum Advance in the distributor to the inlet in the back of the Weber under the choke mechanism.
Now tuning the Weber is not hard but it takes time:
First turn the Idle Mixture screw all the way in. After doing that turn counterclockwise 2 to 2 1/2 turns.
Turn the Idle Speed Screw until it is no longer pressing on the throttle. The turn clockwise 1 to 1 1/2 turns. These are the base line settings
If the base line settings are not to your liking you can continue to tune the Weber to your liking.
I hope this helps
