Looking for advice/info re: my webers -- stay or go?

[mimregi]

Wow, seems we have a lot in common! Thanks for the post =)

I'm afraid i can't answer your questions about the components, they were in the car when I bought it. I can't imagine they are terribly hard to find but I have never looked =/

I made the same decisions about the webers. I hate to go against the well-intentioned and knowledgable advice in these forums, but for me it ultimately came down to moeny. For a fairly minimal investment, I can take a good shot at getting the webers up to snuff and, like you, I am looking at it as a learning experience. I picked up both the Pat Braden Weber book and the Haynes one. I just got them, but just reading through the Braden book is getting me excited about the project =)

It'll probably be mid-late Feb before i pull and rebuild the carbs (I am going to make a kind of weekend party out of it with a few friends and do a bunch of things to the car -- car stereo, brake pads, weather stripping, carpets, etc.). I'll post again in the space with an update (settings, results, etc.). I'd love it if you did the same =)

My car got hit and had an extended stay at a body shop (what a nightmare) but I am ready to start prepping for the carb project again. ****f, if you are out there (tried to PM you to no avail) or if anyone else would care to chime in, I have a few follow-up questions.

-I have Braden's weber book, and he covers the DGAV pretty thoroghly. If I recall correctly, like me, you have the DGV 32/36's, no? Was the operation as he described it still pretty spot-on for your carb? Do you recommebd the Haynes manual in addition to Braden's?

-Have you found any other good resources on the net for the DGV's? I was able to find an exploded view, but no user groups or in-depth rebuild info.

-Were or are you getting a gas smell? mine can get pretty strong sometimes, and I am not sure if it is the carb or not.

-I read through your other thread on jettings, did you have any final reports to post?

Thanks much! I hope all is going well for you =)
