12a weber intake kit.(45DCOE)

This kit includes ( 1) 45 Weber DCOE carb with linkage, intake
manifold,velocity stacks, air filters ,all nessisary gaskets/o-rings needed
to complete the job this kit will work best on stock motors with exhaust and or ignition upgrades.. Ads up to 60 hp over the origonal Nikki carburator!

..........$550.00

1. High volume fuel / low pressure fuel pump (either Holley, Mallory, or Weber Redline).
2. New fuel filter
3. Fuel pressure regulator (capable of regulating down to 2 psi and up.)
4. K&N filter cleaner and charger
5. New fuel line hose
6. Vacuum plugs to cap off fuel return.
7. Possibly longer vacuum hose to run brake booster from intake manifold
8. Possibly new hose to run your OMP lines. (Ask rotary shack if he includes fitting on the intake manifold for the OMP as well).
9. Hose clamps (various sizes).
10. Various and sundry vacuum plugs for other stuff rendered useless by mod.
11. various and sundry tools.
12. 12 pack of beer (quality stuff- remember, you ARE installing a Weber).


Anybody else got something?

Oh- let me add this:

13. Fresh antifreeze (if it has not been changed in a while)
14. New intake O rings
15. New intake manifold gasket
16. More beer (if you have helpers)

Thre is no return fuel line on a Weber (in most cases). It's not needed.

In fact- when I ran a 45 DCOE and tried to use a fuel return, my fuel pressure would not build past 1-1.5 psi no matter what. Cap the return and 'voila'..Instant 4 psi.
