Carb

[Guest Bobby]

Hi - i just got my engine, but the carburetter is bust, and thus i need a new one!

 

I was wondering if i need to get another "Weber 2V" for a 2 litre engine or are there others that will work and what are the differences?

 

Thanks alot

hi there,

I manasged to get hold of 2 Weber DGAV 32mm/36mm carbs, as used on pre-'84 2.0 sierras.

These are gr8 carbs capable of flowing enough air for 140hp..

 

If you want a slightly bigger carb, look for a DGAS 38mm/38mm these were used on old Ford V6's. I think the old Essex V6, it has 3 DGAS carbs,

the only thing needed it a slight change to the manifold mounting plate..

I think its the same as DGAV, but not sure..

 

Look out for those DGA carbs .!!!

 

I got 2 DGAVs for 7.50 ea.!!!, albeit neither fully worked, but with swapping parts over Ive got a working DGAV.!!

A 38 DGAS will give you similar acceleration to twin 40's on a Pinto, but with slightly less top end power (than 40's) but without the need to become part owners of Esso or Shell. I used to get 32 - 38 MPG out of the standard 2 ltr (ex injection) engine, when I put the FR32 cam in, and altered the ignition it went to about 28 - 30 MPG, much better than the 20 mpg I had when I tried twin 40's.

 

A 32 / 36 DGAV is also a good carb, much better than the 2V, (let's face it, anything is better than the 2V)

 

The 38 DGAS & the 32/36 DGAV will go onto the same manifold, but not the one that the 2V uses.

 

For jet sizes for the 38 DGAS, check out our NW build tips.

So if I have a 2V now what would i have to do to get the DGAV onto my puppy?

 

also where can i get a DGAV 32/36 from

 

Sorry for all these questions but i'm new to all this and you'd better be prepared for more!!!

You need to find an early 2 ltr Sierra with one fitted as standard, or even a Cortina!

Then take the manifold plus carb, clean it all up, check for wear etc. find out what jets for your engine (there's been a thread on this lately) and Bingo!

 

(also I just happen to have a carb & manifold in my garage, I've no idea on condition etc. i've not even taken it out of the carrier bag it came in (payment for something) if you want it, I can bring it to Donington, (providing you remind me!)
