I have a 3.0cs with Zenith carbs - I want to change these to Weber 32/36 DGAVs. I would like to start a dialogue with anyone who has done this conversion - there are a lot of issues which have come up! Thanks!


Simon - I did the conversion last summer to my 73 coupe. I'll be happy to answer any questions. I agree there are issues - from people I spoke to all the kits seem to be a little different or missing a part or two.

Whew - thanks for the offer - where do I start?? First - I live in Melbourne, Australia. This makes it difficult to get parts from the US - for instance, I could get a linkage kit, but the price I have seen is around $US300, making it about $600 Australian dollars!!

So, where I need the most help is getting something like a scale drawing or a picture(with some sort of referene point) of all the parts of the linkage kit). I will then get them made up by a speed shop here.

Once I have that, I will be able to get going. A couple of other queries - the Webers have a fuel outlet nipple as well as an inlet. Where does the outlet go - or do you seal that off? If so - how did you seal yours.
How do your install the idle shutoff solenoids?
Did you use your existing fuel pump?

Thanks in anticipation!

Regards

Simon
