38 DGAS weber advice

[mk2estate]

i've been offered a 38 DGAS weber to replace my 32/36 DGAV which is on it's last legs i think.

 

would it be worth my while as i believe it would just be a straight swap?

 

i know i'd have to get the correct jets etc so any advice on that front would be welcome, thanks

I've had both and prefer the DGAV. The DGAS does just bolt straight onto a Pinto, but more hassle on a crossflow.

what's the difference between a DGAV & a DGAS?

 

it is for a 2.0 pinto by the way

 

what about a 40 DCOE? how much work would that be & is it worth it?

 

cheers for the help already people

The difference is that on a DGAS both butterflies open at the same time, on a DGAV one opens and then the second one does if you press harder.

You could always put it on and try it, not a big job.

You will lose economy at town driving speeds, and i don't think the minimal power gain is worth it. Just my opinion (and i don't do town driving)

A pair of 40's is good and does give power gains. A good 32/36 is a nice carb, and capable of upto around the 140bhp mark.

i think my 32/36 needs replacing, isn't it worth my while getting the 38? shall i just replace like for like or is there any benefit with the 38?

sorry for being such a noob

they are a straight swap, i stuck one on my capper, made a fair difference, and havent noticed a difference in MPG either, one thing i have noticed though, or maybe mine just isnt set up right, but if you give it half hearted throttle off the line say 3k it will try and flood and you wil jump forward and then lose power, then it will be fine again, anythin lower and its fine anythin higher and its great!

been fiddling in the garage most of the day, i rebuilt the carb after a good clean, checked & cleaned the spark plugs & just tinkered about till...

IT'S ALIVE!

still needs setting up properly though but i'm proper happy with how it's sounding

 

cheers for all the advice people, i still might go for the 38, i'll have a word with my mechanic next week, see what he says
