I bought a 78 rx and it has an aftermarket carb on it its a weber made in italy the 1st 3 characters of the carb is 48D i cant remember the rest is this a good carb if anyone can tell from the 1st three numbers

 

48 dcoe? pretty common setup i believe. post pics of your car and your setup.

 

YES Webers are well made carbs!

 

Just FYI...there's no such thing as a '78 RX-7. '79 was the first year.

People also thought there were no RX-9's

 

i know there is no 78 it was made 78 of the 8th month so its a 79 but i call it a 78 i know its dumb but im dumb, does anyone know if this carb is good, for a full bridgeport n/a 13b

 

OK...as long as you know, that's ok

A weber 48 can support a bp, depending on chokes and jetting. Time to make friends with the search button and buy a good tuning book on Webers.

 

i have a 78

 

sam here mine was made in 78 buts a labled 79.
the guy i got mine from he bought is the day they came out right off the truck.

 

If you have a '78, it's not a U.S. vehicle...it was built for some other country. And I don't know for sure, but I don't think they were all called RX-7...I think some or all of those were called Savanah.

Savanna was what the Japanese called it in Japan. It was still an "Rx7" it just had its own name too

'78 model year cars are definitely imports, but '79 model year cars *made* in '78 are often found in N/A.

A local Ottawa guy has a J-Spec RHD '78. Hood mounted mirrors, "Savanna Green" (don't know the actual paint name, I just call it that), plaid rear seats, japanese labels in the engine bay, the works Really cool.
