i got a weber carb legal ca carb for my 82 yota and i notice the hole on the carb. plate dont match up to the intank manifold. Anyone eles have this problem? i went ahead and install the unit. it starts and run good, but my only concern is that the carb plate 2 hole dont line up to the manifold and it throw my CO% to 1.7 when put on the smog machine. where the stock carb will give me a .12% CO.

I have the weber 32/36 ca carb legal one

you definitely need the right adapter. check out advanced adapters or LCE engineering to get the right one. redline's website sells them too for toyota's. they are anywhere from 20-50 bucks from what i can remember. i love my weber but i dont have to smog it so i dont know what to do about that. put your egr back on! lol

It's confusing with the plate deal... Lol But
It's that my weber carb 2 hole don't line up flush my intake manifold... The 2 hole sit higher to the manifold hole... I order my weber from weber direct but it's been a
While since I order it... I was just wondering if everyone eles weber carb line up like mind... The stock manifold will block 25% of each of the two weber hole. My egr is hook up

You need an adapter, as stated above. Check out the sources for an adapter, as stated above.
Just because your 32/36 is CARB approved does not meen it will fit directly and perfectly on your 82 engine. It's a Weber with a universal baseplate for many different applications.

How can the adapter plate aline the weber to the manifold if the Carb is total off Aline from the manifold... Cause the plate that it came with is exactly like the carb... If I get the plate to match the stock intank manifold... The carb will still be off.. Unless it's a Cnc angle plate that angle the hole from the intank to the weber..Anyone have picture of the adapter plate?

Is it 1 plate or two? Pictures of the plate?

Oh and you can't just slap a weber on these trucks and expect it to pass smog without tuning the carb first. I have seen way too many people do that and bad mouth these carbs.

Eg-r

It's the plate before putting on the carb and It came with the weber. The plate match the weber carb hole but over laps the 2 hole higher on the manifold when put on. The weber carb holes sit higher around 10mm. It's cutting off air flow by 25%. I don't have pic

Let me rephrase my question, is it a 1 piece or two piece plate? Did you by the kit new or used?

So your currently running it with only 2 bolts holding it down?

Eg-r

One plate.. Bought the weber new..Using all four Factory hole with screw n nut

xxxtreme22r

Used kit or new? Is it currently bolted down by only 2 bolts? I cannot give you a good answer if your not answering all of my questions.

Does it look like this?




Or one of these? If so the one on the right or the one on the left?

Eg-r

I Bought the weber new and it didn't come with anything of what u have there. The plate that came with the weber was more like a hard paper type gasket. I have my weber bolt on now with 4 screw using the 4 factory hole .

xxxtreme22r

Where did you get the kit from? That plate you got sounds like just a base gasket and/or phenolic spacer and they didn't send you a complete kit for the truck just a carb. Or you ordered just the carb and not specifically a kit for the truck. Did the kit come with just the carb? What about the linkage spacers, linkage adapter, pcv adapter etc etc. (82 22r might not have the pcv adapter)

These are the carb adapter plates, The only 3 types made.

Stock Weber branded 2-piece (These are junk BTW)




Trans-Dapt 1 piece (I switched to this one)




LCE Spiral 2-piece (At least 1 person on here has this one)




This is what an 81-87 20r/22r kit should come with. This kit is NOT CARB approved. The only CARB approved kits include the 32/36 DGAV Water choke carb.

I got my kit from weber direct. I just order the ca Smog legal one when I place my order. It didn't come with aftermarket airfilter. It came with a plate on top of the carb so I can mount my factory air filter unit. The only sensor that it came with was that fuel cut sensor that I do have it installed and I use the egr port on the weber. I guess the adpater that I have was not really an adapter. No wonder when I install that Phenolic spacer and it didn't line up with the factory manifold holes. The second picture u sent look like it will angel the carb direct to match the intank hole.

WCD don't even list a CARB legal kit on their site. It's the same place I got mine. And by EGR port I hope you mean PCV port, because EGR is a completely different thing. And there is no PCV port on the weber, The only port on the weber is for the vacuum advance line to the distributor.

And the kit should have included little spacers/bolts that go into the linkage bracket. Those two spacers/bolts when I switched to the Trans-dapt adapter, I had t get new ones from Lowes that were longer. I don't know if with the trans-dapt adapter since it's a little taller then the 2-piece if the factory air cleaner will clear the hood or not. But my taller of the two versions of the weber filter bearly clears now.

With Regular 2-piece adapter


With Trans-dapt

Maybe it was redline weber that I bought mine. Mine came with a egr port hookup. I'm not sure if it came with spacers and bOlts. But it bolt directly to the linkage and it working fine... Unless I get a taller adapter then I will need to raise the linkage.

xxxtreme22r

Yours doesn't need the spacers right now because you have no adapter plate that belongs on there. Either you just ordered the carb itself or you ordered a kit and they didn't send you everything. There is no EGR hookup for these things, it either stays factory or gets deleted and where the EGR pipe goes into the manifold gets replaced with the PCV adapter.

xxxtreme22r

And another thing I don't understand is how that thing is working right if it's not centered properly. The butterflies would be hitting the heck outta the manifold underneath it.

Eg-r

True... I was wondering why they made it like that. That why I came to make this
Post. So for me to make things right I will need this adapter plate right

xxxtreme22r

Adapter plate and spacers and new bolts for the spacers. At the minimum. I don't know about the EGR setup. Never tried running mine with that EGR tube still between the head and the carb. That's where the PCV adapter is supposed to go on the non-carb version.

I still can't believe they sold you an electric choke carb and told you it was CARB certified. Did you get the CARB # plate with the order? I think you should have. But I am almost certain the only CARB approved kits are the water choke carbs.

If you got that kit from REDLINE, it wouldn't surprise me. It's one of those companies I don't trust. mainly because they claim they are the only ones who sell "rear" webers. Right along with LCE pretty much claiming the same thing.
