ive heard alot of people say that their weber converted se's are running premix, does that have to be done or can you run the stock oiling system? and can anybody point me towards a write up for the conversion if there is one i could not find it.

 

u know we do have a search feature on the forum. i see u did read the forum rules.

i am very aware of the search function and i use it often and get the info i am looking for. in this case i can find plenty of good info but i was not able to find the answer to what i asked

 

Take the OMP lines and stick them on some vacume lines and plug them into vacume ports on the LIM or to vacume ports on the webber itself. BUT just make sure to get oil to BOTH the front and rear rotors...

 

With a holley or a weber the one thing to I learned about omp lines is to make sure to pull the omp lever into the on position and tie it into place with a zip tie.

 

^no, the appropriate thing to do is to buy or fab the bracket for the carb and hook up like it should be.

 

/\ correct.. just be aware that certain manifolds can spin the carb around and put the acell linkage on that same side the OMP link should be

those that dont will have to have an OMP linkage on opposite side to that of the acell link .. in this situ you MUST gauge the free length of the OMP rod or cable to be longer than that used for the acell cable... fail to do so and you WILL bend the throttle shaft on the weber

 

ok so i finally got some time this weekend and started to tear into it. a few things im not sure about. i got the carb all mounted, brackets fabbed, and everything is coming together nicely, but im not sure about where to route the vent tube that goes to the oil filler does it just go to vacuum? dose it need a pcv or something? and on the firewall below the cruise control actuator are 2 little guys with electrical connectors and vacuum going to them, what are they? do i need them? and finally the "oil injectors?" (not sure if that is correct on what they are called) the 2 in the rotor housings and 2 in the lower intake just get manifold vacuum? oh and the "3l220 lawn mower belt" is the alternator belt alone really not enough to spin the fan/water pump? can i run it with out? hopefully if i can get everything squared away she will run tomorrow.

 

Well as far as the belts go you can run with just 1 for now but it will start to slip as rpm goes up and you will start to find dust everywhere in the engine compartment. Best solution I found so far was the Atkins Rotary serpentine belt set, as I have heard the yoohoo belt is hit or miss and can damage bearings or the water pump itself.

 

The Atkins serpentine set slips really badly if you have a clutch fan. I tried it in the GLC. Slip city. Then I swapped in one of their camdens to make the slip worthwhile (and it already had the pulley set anyway). Then I had a spare serpentine pulley set from the Camden kit so I swapped it into the GSL-SE and used the short belt that came with the serpentine set. This car has an electric fan so it is less likely to slip. So far no slip.

On all my other engines whether clutch fan or electric fan , I use v-belts because they work better. Oh and just one v-belt because if it slips, it means your clutch fan is stiffer than it should be. Time to look for a lower mile replacement or go electrc fan. If already electric fan, one belt is perfect.

That's my experience.

Speaking of that, there is a short belt from Napa that fits like a yoohoo belt but is a real automotive belt. The width is 15, not 13 like we're supposed to use. No store sells 13 width anymore. So the 15 will wear for a while and it hard on the waterpump bearings. I can't in good conscience recommend the Napa belt.

 

Well it had a clutch fan but I have an extra electric hanging around that I. Going to put in. Thanks for the input. But now I got a whole other set of problems. I got everything in and all hooked up but for some reason have no power at my coils. All fuses/links are good just no power, looking at the wiring diagram the injection harness is separate from the rest of it so nothing that I ripped out should be messing with that. Anything I am missing that anyone can think of?

It has been years but I remember that there is a wire (near the passenger strut tower) that needs to be grounded for ignition/pump to work.
