LC spiral adapter install questions
I just got a weber, and the LCE pro spiral adapter.
So I was just getting ready to put it on and I noticed that The directions did not say any thing about the stock studs on the manifold. I guess I am going to have to remove them. Has any one removed these studs before. Has anyone installed this adapter before?

I just barely installed the spiral adaptor on my rebuild last night. The studs come out of the intake manifold. The flat head allens screw into the manifold closest to the head and the two shorter bolts screw in from the bottom and up into the adaptor base plate. Make sure you use some thread locker on all the nuts and bolts so that they won't back out and cause leaks.

Thanks! Will try that today!
I think I may be missing some bolts out of the kit.
I have the flat allens, the smaller allens, the 2 bolts, and the studs.
From the directions I should have 4 bolts two for the bottom and two for the risers on the T- linkage.
Right? I think I may use the old carb bolts for the linkage, stuff.

So I got them off and adapter on, the 2nut deal was the way to go!
Bolt kit, I was missing some for the linkage risers, did not come in the kit.
this is the installed product

I think you're only missing one bolt for the linkage. Or at least mine had one me longer bolt but I haven't installed the throttle linkage yet. We I get home I can measure it for you and let you know what length you will need. You could also call LCE and they'll ship you out the missing bolts

I just reused on the of the carb bolts, and I had to go buy another one longer than the carb bolt.

Just figure out which terminal of the 3 in the trucks electric choke wiring plug has 12 volts when the ignition is on. 2 of them do, if I remember correctly, so you can use the other 12 volt switched terminal to hook up the anti-diesel switch, if you want. A regular male blade connector fits into the trucks wiring plug, and a female blade connector fits on the choke on the carb. Wire it all together and seal the connections, you're good to go.
Edit: also, Dropzone, what sort of feedback are you looking for on the adapter? I ran one for close to 2 years on my old 83. The main difference I found between it and the adapter that came with the Weber was that the LCE adapter would actually keep a seal and no more vacuum leaks. I'm not entirely sure what effect it had on my performance, though.

The adapter doesn't come with any throttle or choke cables. I actually converted to a manual choke on mine - less crap to break and worry about. Here are some pics of my weber on a LCE spiral adapter:
I also mounted my fuel pressure regulator to the manifold as well. Beats the hell out of mounting it to the fender wall and looks much cleaner.

It's leaking from the original weber adapter to the manifold and I haven't put the spiral adapter on yet I'm doing it this weekend and I was woundering if Yall used a sealer or something during assembly and the instruction didn't have torque values do you have that

When finding out where the 12volt wire is did you just hook a volt meter to it???

2 hex washers threaded from bottom without nut on top?
I just barely installed the spiral adaptor on my rebuild last night. The studs come out of the intake manifold.
