Hi friends. I'm currently installing some Weber clones on my 70 and have run into some issues. I'm using a CB linkage and filter bases. I tried installing the carbs with the linkage to the rear of the car, but the drop links hit the torsion springs used on the trunk. I flipped the bases so the crossbar is towards the front of the car, but the linkage needs to rotate counter-clockwise (see photo) in order to operate the carbs. I guess I could run the throttle arm on the top of the linkage and pull it that way, but I would prefer the arm to be in the down position. I was thinking maybe a custom cable which would be longer and come in from the back or perhaps some kind of lever to reverse the rotation?
I don't know, but I'm sure this has been dealt with in the past. Just looking for an elegant solution. As a side note, tall air cleaners most definitely don't fit the passengers side. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.thesamba.com-27418-1727464006.1.jpg) Thanks in advance. |

The two setups I have, one is round cross bar, the other is center pull, pics later hopefully.
I would love to see the tuning article, always looking for more experience. |
