reTRD Posted September 4, 2008 Report Posted September 4, 2008 (edited) hey guys i am looking to upgrade the carby on my 5k i was really wanting to go sidedrafts but i simply can't afford it at the present time. i have been looking into the webber side of things for it. the motor is fully ballenced with standard bottom end hydrolic lifters and all. it is running a lumpy as hell cam (unsure of specs as there are no new markings on there to identify what cam profile or who did it) a proted, polished and shaved 4k head, coby headers into a 2" freeflow exhaust.(and is fully rebuilt under 5,000kms ago) the webber i have come accross is a webber an old guy here in my home town (in NZ) there is a stamping on the side of it saying "34 DCHD" and "6L" i was wanting to no if any1 knows if this of going to be of any use to me (as it is a good price of NZD$50) he is unsure what it is off but thinks he pulled it of his old mark 2 GT cortina years ago. if i do get it ill be rekitting it so i no where i stand with it. do you think i wil have to redo the jetts at all and is so what sizes should i go for them? any help would be greatly appreciated.

Felix Posted September 5, 2008 Report Posted September 5, 2008 Sounds interesting. Looks very closely related to the 28/36DCD I run, but with a vacuum secondary. Looks like they are a factory fitment to Fiat 1500 cabriolets. I'd say it shares the same removable venturi setup that the DCD runs. I'd consider it if it is complete without much shaft play. Quote
