1981 C/10 Off-road project

[Jim Molloy]

Check out a Holley/Weber 2 barrel carb. They are a progressive
2 barrel . Almost the same size as that carb your using now.

Check ebay and Inliners International web site. You'll have to
make some kind of adapter. The bolt pattern and size is different
from the stock carb.

I just picked up one of these carbs for $10. Check local VW people.This is a popular swap for dune buggy/baja bugs.

Before you think I'm crazy ,I had one of these carbs on a '69
Chevy pickup. 250 six with a stock 1 barrel carb.Adapters from
"Langhorn (sp) Chevy Parts". No adapter for the 2 barrel on the
'79.

The carb ran good on my 69 ,plenty of power ,mileage about the
same as the stock carb,bad.

NAPA and some others show a replacement carb for about $370.


I'm going to try to put one on my truck,the needle valve stuck on mine over the weekend.Luckily beating on it with a 2 X 4 made it
work ok.....LOL.
