Rob36 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Hi guys. I have a brand new 32/36 weber DGV carb here, and Im planning to put it on the mk1 cavvy. Try as I might, I cant find anywhere on line selling a adapter plate for the conversion. Can anyone point me in the right direction? ta!

Binnacle-ZA Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Sorry if this is the voice of ignorance. But I know (for the 1900 Manta at least, I'd assume the Cav has the same manifold) it's a straight fit, no adapter. I think the throttle cable needs a little fiddling to get right.

Rob36 Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 Really?? Well Binnacle - It'd be lovely if your right! The weber I have is up where I keep my banger racing car, so I havent got it to hand, but I think a trip over there may be needed to check!

Rob36 Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 Youre only bloomin' right mate! I just dug out an old 38 Dgas from the garage - perfect fit, so the 32/36 should fit too ! Absolutely chuffed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob36 Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 Just out of interest, anyone put a 38 dgas on a standard cih? Is that worth a thought? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binnacle-ZA Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) Stevo has (he is on the forum). From what I've heard it's quite tricky to get the mixture/jets right on a standard engine, it is possible, but is also apparently a good way of spending petrol. I seem to remember Stevo wanting to drop to a 36DCD before going to sidies as the 38 just wasn't worth it.

lamchop77 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 It's not worth putting on a std engine,a tuned one though would be a different matter. Guy I know did it years ago and he said it went really well. Had head ported, cam and a decent exhaust. It was set up properly on a rolling road. Guy who did it was a pretto good stock car racer so knew what he was doing. It will be a little thirsty tho!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
