my neighbor down the road just bought a first gen and the preavios owner had loaded the truck up with most of north west off roads cattalog. so after removing 12 shocks, one extra steering stabilizer and the sway bars. he has gotten only one trip out before the massive carb took a crap.

i havent ever seen a gaint 4 barrel weber on a 20r before so i have no clue as how to fix it. it also has a holley four barrel intake dought it helps. has any one ever had experiance with these before? we want to take it off and put some thing smaller on there. it is poffin black smoke like crazy so we think the carb is just to big. any suggestions on how to fix?

  HOLY COW  a 4 barrel on a 20R    yea  i can imagine  black as  coal

i need  more carb  but not that dang much


you need to find a regular 20R manifold  and then put a stock 22R  carb on it,  thats  more than enough to give the 20R  a good kick

i have all of that in my garage what is the trick to eliminating all of the vacume lines. and making them runn good. never had any luck with them. this is going to be a trailered truck if that helps.

Go to an auto parts store and buy the caps for vaccuum line ports, plug off everything except vaccuum advance on carb, brake booster and pcv valve. 

Then have him send me that 4 barrel and intake   are you sure it's not a holley 390 4 barrel?

yeah thats what i thought it was at first but the casting in the carb says weber.

any one have a link that tells you how to work on stock 22r carbs?

Pm cteng, he seems to have good luck rebuilding them, maybe he has some good info.

here is what the old carb looked like before we tooki it off. an if any one is interested i am going to be selling it and the intake for cheap.
