Ok after I figured out how to search the forum for Weber carb. info for the last 3 years instead of just the last week, I've spent several hours reading posts concerning the conversion from stock to weber on my 1987 swb montero with the 2.6l, 5 speed,a/c, 4wd. Still not real clear about the rpm step-up when using the a/c or which hoses from the fuel pump go where (Boy a picture of the conversion would really help) but I'm going to give it a try. Now I can't decide if I should buy the conversion with the electric or manual choke. Could someone with experience with the conversion guide me in the right direction.
Thanks

The weber has no provision for increasing throttle opening for when the AC clutch is engaged. I just increase the idle ever so slightly in warm/hot weather to compensate for the AC compressor drag. You just have to find the point the engine idles smooth with AC on and will not diesel on shutdown.

Mine has the electric choke option. Manual choke kit can be added to replace the electric choke if you change your mind later. The Weber conversion needs only one vac. line. That is to supply vac. advance to the distributor.

If your state has emission testing for your vehicle the weber conversion may NOT be for you.

Also consider using a fuel pressure regulator between the fuel pump and the weber.

There is probably the answer to every possible question to the weber conversion somewhere on this forum.The search button is your friend. The amount of knowledge on this forum for Montero/Raider community is truly amazing.

A year ago (?) I bought a Weber to put on my '84 Montero in Maine. One of the advantages of the one I bought was that it came premounted on a manifold. The seller claimed that all the necessary vacuum and fuel lines were attached to the carb, and were included in the sale. I have not yet mounted it on the Montero because I got it running with the original Mikuni, and a running vehicle was more important than a running vehicle with a Weber. So, the Weber, complete with manifold and hoses, sits in the house in Maine waiting for next year.

I have four pictures which the seller took, but I haven't bothered to put them online yet. They're not real high resolution, but good enough. I'd be happy to send them along, if you PM me an email address. I guess eventually I'll get them into Photobucket.

Thanks so much for posts. I'm going to go with the electric choke but can't find a post concerning the "keyed" power supply for the choke. Don't seem to be able to find where or if the stock carb. had power to the choke.
Thanks

For power you can hook choke wire to the ballast resistor attached to the ignition coil. Hook the choke wire to the side of the ballast resistor the the ignition switch is connected to.

One side of the ballast resistor is connected to the ignition switch and the other side is connected to the ignition coil. This will supply power when the ignition is in "run" to the choke coil.

good luck

Thanks muchly, Wish me luck
