Going to pick up my 1988 Mazda B2200 tomorrow, will post ics then, it's already got a few small mods on it, 32/36 weber carb, set of 4 into 1 pacesetter headers, soon to try a chi from a company called autochipsdirect, they custom build their chips for your vehicle and they don't harm your ecu system or computer, so gonna give this a shot an see how it works out. But I have the cab plus 2wd, lowered already 2 inches as well, fairly immaculate interior save for the center console where the radio goe is missing the radio and what would by my guess be just a slide in holder idk eh. But fell in love with the truck the minute i drove it from the guys house down the road. 150,xxk miles on the motor after a rebuild. new transmission, can't beat it man great lil truck. can't wait go n have a lil fun with it

don't waste money on a "chip" once the Weber is put on the computer gets unplugged and usually tossed.

Well, I bought my truck as it st for 800$, weber " installed " say installed loosely as i spent three days running vacum lines, wires to sensors etc. i still am, just waiting to remove my egr valve needing a plate for it not sure what to use to make it.
But right now i can tell ya this truck has 220K miles on it and it runs like a scalded dog, i will pounce on Hondas and small 4 banger cars like that even Si's and Vtechs, but also i think the motor is slightly built as well from the previous owner, I know it has the 32/36 Degv Weber, Pacesetter headers, a rearend gearing change, i can run in 4th at 60/65 all day just humming along barely into my 2nd barrel, but i hardly do this just saying. and i'm thinking it has a 2.0 head swap or a new 2.2 head not for sure, i bought it through a garage he owed money for repairs done recently and i never really got to chat with the owner.

But this truck is peppy with a nice powerband from about 3,500 to 5,500 (( just a guess no tach as of yet ) and i'm static dropped all the way around with 3 inch blocks in the rear. but this weber doesn't really hog gas that bad at all, i get decent MPG's, not really tested it out fully yet but i'd say i could get close to 350-400 miles on a full tank

With a weber swap you only need a few vacuum lines... one for the vacuum advance, once for the trans (if automatic) and a larger one for the brake booster and PCV valve.

And, another if you were keeping the EGR.
