Whats your year and engine? Not that it matters but is it tow wheel drive or four wheel drive? Also do you mean a 32/36 weber?

oh sorry its an 80 4x4 with a 20r and the carb says its a 32-34 its a little different form a 32-36 from looking at them

I'd say. I looked on weber and didn't see one. I'd call weber and ask about it. Maybe that guy typed wrong. You said you could see the writing on the carb?

406yota

yea it says it right on the baseplate i also looked on the weber site and couldnt find it but heres some picture

I hope somebody with more exerience chims in for you. Im gonna do some searching and see what I come up with. Did you call Weber and ask them? Its definetly a Weber. How much they asking?

im gonna go out on a limb and say it wont work for yours. Its probally for a different vehicle and modifies for that purpose. Just my thoughts............. I looked all possible carbs for your vehicle and that didnt pull up. Ask the guy what it went on. Im curious to know.

Same here on that. If it works well it would work....but I have never heard of that specific carb. Looks like it's in decent shape though. I think your biggest problem if you were able to make it work would be the throttle linkage. You'd have to come up with that yourself. It's not impossible and I would say from the sizes of the barrels that it "could" work as far as volume goes.....but finding parts would probably be difficult....and getting help would be as well.

If you could take a picture with the linkage in it from the side. That will speak volumes for if it would fit or not. The height would also be handy since the throttle linkage can only sink so far with the weber spacer.

hope these can help. i actually bought it thinking it was going to fit and once i saw it knew it wasnt a 32-36 but it was so cheap and in good shape i had to buy it and hope it would work.

It could fit....you're right about the holes. What worries me is that hole off to the side. Also it will definitely be custom linkage. I think it sits lower on the Carb than the 32/36.

If you are going to attempt it I would get the repair manual for it. There are some vacuum line connections on there. I know the 32/36 doesn't have those. Was that circular piece in the box the air filter adapter?

The Carb is short enough to fit. Whatever air filter housing you get to go along with it make sure it has clearence with the hood.

All in all its a cool Carb and I hope it works for you. Make sure you do your research on how everything will be run, connected, and there's a chance you will run a very unique looking Carb.

Good luck to you man.

thanks for the help krypto im glad to know i didnt waste the money on it. yea all the stuff in the box came with it and yes thats the air cleaner adapter. i wasnt to put an air cleaner like the 32-36 hopefully it will fit i like the way they clean up the engine bay.
Thanks
