alright i just bought me a 85 gsl for 1400$ CDN and i am thinking of putting a carb on it. with the higher flow carb do i have to do anything to the engine? timing etc.?

Thanks

 

Without puting a decent header system on i do not recommend a different carb other than a modified nikki.

 

Didn't it come with a carb? lol.

Rats nest and cats go bye bye. You will need headers and a free flowing exhaust before even thinking about an aftermarket carb. What carb do you have in mind? You will need to upgrade the fuel pump, add an fpr and fpg. Acyonym interpretation is a test of your mechanical abilities. haha

 

ya i am goignto do that too but i mean the engine has 246,000 km on it?can i just throw it on with a better fuel pump? and i wont flood te engine or anythign like that?

 

ya i know the emiision stuff go bye bye i was think a weber or a holley dont kno which one help?

 

get a decent 2 barrel carb and a header and you will be very happy.
holleys i dont recommend.

 

so go wit a weber 48IDA then?

 

if you have the $$.
i prefer sidedrafts myself.

 

Any aftermarket pump will require and fpg, unless you buy some limp dick pump that won't push enough fuel.

 

alright so i can just put everything on i need and drive

 

You mean fpr. Not that he won't need an fpg, but your sentence makes more sense with fpr.

 

Won't do much good without a header and freer flowing exhaust. Plus whatever carb you get make sure its been prepped for a rotary or you'll have a lot of tunin' to do to make it run right. Look for a Weber or Dellorto prepped by Racing Beat for instance and you should be on the right path.

 

Yep. you're right.
