Re: Landon Carter Weber Carb Tuning

I'd bet that 90% of the guys who buy them and that setup set the idle speed and idle mixture and never make any other changes to them. They don't have to deal with the air at 7000 ft that you do.

Searching you out on the map I see that I got fairly close when I pulled a 16 ft Uhaul over 550 behind my 48 in 1977. Now I know why that 283 was huffing and puffing a bit.

I don't know what the original application for those carbs was but I'd be finding that out and searching out owners groups forums to lurk and snoop the carb info.

Going back to that old HAMB thread the photo shows that there are two jets in the carb that should be simple to change.

Searching for Weber 32DFT found this https://www.piercemanifolds.com/category_s/232.htm

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
