I have just bought a Weber 38 DGAS to replace the standard Ford VV Carb on my Pinto (2.1 lires, unleaded head conversion with tubular exhaust manifold).

I have been recommended the following re-jet settings by 2 different sources for a 2.0 Pinto:

Webcon:
mains 145
airs 185
idle 45
pump 45
idle air bush 145

Burton Power (RS2000 settings)
Mains - 155 (or 160 for 2.1 Pinto)
Air - 185
Idle - 45
Emulsion - F50
Pumps – 60

I have been advised that it is important to change the idle air bushes. A pig of a job, as apparently they have to be drilled out!

This is sounding more complicated and expensive than I first thought.

Could I ask what re-jetting anyone else has done with this upgrade?

I am starting to wonder If I should just go for a straight swap with a 32/36 DGAV (again with manual choke conversion) and sell the 38...

have you had any quotes?

Hi Darren

This is the quote I have had:

mains £3.20 pair

airs £3.40 pair

idle £3.60 pair

em.tube £19.00 pair

pump £8.00

Not to mention also having to source & buy a manual choke kit!

You'd be better off spending your money on a rolling road session. That way you don't spend money on stuff you don't need and you know it's right when you've finished.

sounding like it could be the option - sounds like a lot of people rejet the carb once it's on the car.

Fuel economy not a massive concern as the car only does 2000 - 3000 miles a year. So long as it's smooth & responsive I'm ok.

It is just nice to have a car with immediate mid range urge when you are blatting around the lake district and happen upon a tractor!
