on a stock port 12a, would a 40mm weber be sufficient?

also, tell me about a "Lake Cities" manifold. i've never heard of or seen one before.

danke!

 

I can't tell you about the carb size but here is a photo of a lakes intake.

Ok, I can't get it to fit in, I will PM you.

 

On a stock 12A you can install a 45DCOE, as long is jetted for a stock engine. You will also need a new fuel pump and a fuel regulator set to 2.5 psi's..... I had one on my stock 12A and it ran great, until the engine died then I went street port and used the same carb, just jetted it for a street port...

 

Man Jose, I want to see your car in person SO bad. We need to meet up sometime. I havent seen you on the forum in forever.

40mm would be a waste of time. 45 is pretty much the smallest you'd want to go even on a stock port.

 

Dam dont you think 2.5 fuel on a Weber is not enough?

I thougth stock was 4,
Webers,Delatoro,Mukini were like 5

Holley 6psi.

Im going to have to dig my RacingBeat book up for this,
What does others think?

 

Ive heard all kinds of things. One place I read said NO MORE than 3 PSI, MazdaTrix said 4.5 PSI, Fast Freddies (who makes the MazdaTrix setups) said 3-4 PSI. I dont know. Im just buying the Holley 1-4 PSI regulator AND the rebuild kit so I can have the high and low pressure springs in case I need more than 4 PSI .

you have to remember flow is what is needed, not pressure. i'll let sterling go into the mechanics of it...........

 

I've got a DHLA that I'm gonna have to rebuild and get running from scratch, too. If anyone wants to toss out a few pointers..... Oh yeah, never had a carb before, either.
