Weber 32/36 or 38/38? Over-center problems with the linkage? Where could I buy new ones? Any help would be appreciated as I am considering a conversion.
I've decided I need to redo the linkage on my 2800 that has the 3.5L motor and 38/38's. With all four barrels opening at the same time the short throw linkage makes it really hard to drive smoothly. Bad enough to not want to drive the car that way. I've gotten lots of feedback from others about different linkage setups so it's just a matter of figuring out what works best.Yes the linkage is a tricky item, converted first to 32/36 Webers pretty straight forward bit of monkeying, recently converted to 38/38 a whole different set of linkage issues. Had to make several modifications as they were sticking closed and once has enough pedal pressure all heck broke loose. I have a referbed set of 32/36 Webers if interested.

Yep, carburetors are not in the law school syllabus...I took it out for a test drive and floored it as hard as I could in second gear to make sure it would not hang. Unfortunately, there was a police car hiding in a place where he was never there before. I got a 50 in a 40mph speed zone ticket. I tried to explain what I was doing but he was not interested. Neither was the judge.
