Weber on the way

Well after a year of having my 89 2200 I finally broke down and ordered my weber a few days ago..I ordered the 34 with a manual choke, There is a shop around here that has em but it was more than through weber direct...
Anyway I have heard that they are easy to install and shouldnt take long, can anyone tell me what I have to look forward to? Any problems to watch for anything like that?? I have already started taking everything apart that way I will be ready when it gets here, but is there anything I need to be careful about doing when I am taking it all apart and getting rid of all the vacuum lines??? Also if there is anyone in the area that has done one before and wants to help me out a little then you are more than welcome to come over and help I will but you some beer or lunch or something,I also have to get the timing reset too... So any help is greatly appreciated and I am planning on doing this either on this comin friday or sunday since I am off those two days...... Thanks in advance

sweet man. you will love it! the only thing you want to make sure to do is put locktite on the screws and bolts. i am going to the texmex car show this weekend so i will help you out as much through here right now. the carburetor is easy to install with bare minimum of tools. it comes with instructions and is pretty self expanitory. the timing is like this...
there is a spring right behind the timing belt, loosen the tensioner bolt and pull the spring off. then pull the timing belt off. with the timing belt off, turn your crankshaft until the number one cylinder is at top dead center. then turn your camshaft until the number 1 is pointing up. then stab your distributor so that the rotor is pointing to where the number one plug wire goes. then install the timing belt, install the spring, then tighten the tensioner. try to crank it up. if it doesn't want to crank, your camshaft may be 180 degrees out. pull the timing belt back off, pull the distributor back out, and turn the camshaft 180 degrees, then restab the distributor and reinstall the timing belt. i hope this helps. later.

oh yeah and to find out if it is at tdc you have to pull the #1 plug out and feel for it with your finger.

yeah it was ok until I found that oil leak and pulled the cam gear off again and wasnt paying attention like I should have and I guess I set it back on there wrong.. thanks for the help to.. Are you not working today either?

no, i am looking for a house.

I may try and give you a call later on..I am gonna work on he truck in a little while and finish taking the old carb off

cool man, my number is 254-613-4156 if you don't have it anymore. we found a sweet house today, so i am going to try and get it.

I tried callin you but the wife told me she would have you call me back but I never heard from you.. anyway I just checked the tracking number and it is supposed to be here on thursday.. The worst part is it will most likely be here right before I leave for work so I will be thinkin about it all day..

o with that timming thing if u do get a new belt make sure it is the right size because there are 2 for the motor nd there a 1/16 different about also for tdc there is a slit in the timing belt crankshaft pully and put the cam shaft on the a the weber carb is great though no coplains never had a problem with them jus make sure the idle air senalnoid is hooked up other wise it wont idle it will explain in the directions but that wire goes to the positive on the coil there should b 2 of them ..if u have any tuning questions i can help .. goodluck

damn bro, i am sorry. i tried calling but it went straight to an answering thing. i was out working on the 83, getting it ready for the show this weekend. give me a number where i can reach you and i will call you tomorrow when i get home from work. the wife and i may be coming that way friday night. there is a guy on streetsourcemag.com that offered us to stay at his place before the big ass cruze to the texmex car show in tomball. he lives in dallas somewhere and there is going to be a huge convoy to tomball. they are going to be filming and everything so i am trying to get the 83 looking as good as possible. i put the dash back in today and cleaned it up real nice. i can't freaking wait. this may be the only car show i go to this year with the 83 before i strip her down for a complete rebuild.
