Weber carb
I got a 86 pickup and thinking about a weber carb but their website is confusing me on what one to buy. Plus ive heard i need fuel regulators or something like that. Any help is appreciated.

Just call LCE direct (# is on their web site) and start asking questions. Best if you write your questions down before you call--makes it easier to not forget anything. When I bought the Weber from them for our '83, the tech support staff at LCE were a HUGE help. BTW- the Weber was the best upgrade/change I made to the truck. Power is up, and driving it now is great.

I have been running a Weber on my '87 22r for five or six years and love it. I agree with the prior post, best thing I ever did was the Weber upgrade. I now run a 38 but had a 32/36 for a while. I went to the 38 when I had a warranty issue with the 36. Redline Weber convinced me to run the 38. In my case the 38 gets about the same mileage as the 36 since I don't have to put your foot in it all the time. As far as confusing there is really not much to consider. A 32/36 or a 38, manual or electric choke. You will need a fuel pressure regulator ($15 - $30) and a cheap gauge. The Webers like no more than 3 lbs of pressure. I use the stock pump and a Holley regulator. I would consider buying a one piece adapter if you have the money since the ones that come with the kits can have issues it you don't seal them well. I use the LCE one piece adapter which is a very nice piece. I would buy a Redline Weber if it were me. There are lots of knockoff Webers on the market so be careful. You can buy a Redline on eBay, directly from Redline, and at other places as well. Here is Redline's page http://www.redlineweber.com/carb-kit.../toyota-truck/ . They are very helpful on the phone if you have questions or tuning issues. Like the prior post says, LCE is a great place as well but a little pricey, IMHO. Hope this helps!

I'm running the 32/36, with LCE's adapter kit. Also using the pressure regulator from LCE. Installed everything with the pressure gauge between the pressure regulator & the carb. Adjusted the pressure--then removed the gauge & put it away.
I bought from LCE simply because it was one-stop shopping. I bought a long list of items all at the same time, and everything worked perfectly.
