weber 48 ida for daily driving?

[YerDugliness]

Jim Inglese is your guy, then...perhaps he will know of other publications that will have that detailed info. As I read the first part of the 3-part series it seemed to me that the Webers might be simple to work on and the combinations of various parts helps with fine tuning. Sounds like a set of flow-meters is probably in your future if you want to do your own builds.

Good luck...

Cheers!!!

They are extremely easy to work on.

An 8 year old would have no trouble, but give him a WCFB or a Quadrajet, and there may be some tears.

The art for Webers is parts selection to suit the engine.

Idle fuel and air is easy, but emulsion tube is bit more tricky.

Hence the absolute critical importance of float level settings.

PS. My Weber, Holley, Carter, Edelbrock, Rochester etc etc library and spares/tools etc is always growing, .

Doing a complete rebuild on csx4xxx aluminum Shelby 427 with 48ida Weber’s.

Had the carbs sent to Jim Inglese ( he amazing). They look great!!!

First problem before rebuilding
1) was fuel pressure way to high 5-8
2) had manual fuel pumps and electric ( that’s how it came from Shelby dealer)
3) custom cylinders and new cam should improve power range.
4) was bogging around town or after resetting bogging over 60.... than should go away now.


I’ll update went I finish up in the next few weeks.

Thanks,
