38 Dgas Linkage And Connections

[Guest Jim Castle]

Just about to replace my pierburg carb on my pinto with a 38 dgas weber. Questions:

 

What throttle linkage and cable to use as it rotates the opposite way. Was thinking of modifying the pierburg linkage with a bar 180 degrees on the opposite side but throttle cable would be pulling at an angle.

 

There is no port for the engine ecu vacuum connection on the weber manilfold ? (porbably pre-ecu). Do i have to drill and tap the manifold?

 

Any other tips would be welcome.

 

Regards

when I fitted my DGAS, I used the linkage from the DGVS that I'd had on previously, but I've noticed that most other engines that I've seen, have a much bigger cumbersome bracket assembly on than I had. The one that I had must have come from a pre 1984 Sierra, they also fitted the same bracket to the 2ltr Cortina's.

I don't know which ECU you've got, but the vac outlet was from a small connection in the rockershaft side of the carb flange.

Thanks BigJim,

 

Will now try to source one, hence my post in 'wanted section'

 

Cheers

Just done the same to mine this weekend DGV (Manual choke) from 2 litre Capri complete with linkage as BigJim's. Cable from injection Cavalier fits a lot better than the Sierra/Capri cable - a lot smoother as well. Use the little bracket off the Cavalier injector housing to modify your setup. - Makes a light break from the the VG loom nightmare!!!
