Weber Carb Question

[grslightng02]

I currently have a solex on my 71 GT and am going to replace it with a weber water choke.

I cleaned out my weber carb and will be having someone install new gastkets, I am buying a new chrome air filter and housing instead of the snorkel, installing new vacuum lines from carb to auto transmission, and new vacuum line from carb to distributor.

I need to know what size bolts to buy to install the weber since I've heard the original bolts are too long. Also need to know what kind and size of clear tubing to buy for transmission vacuum line and carb vacuum line.

Thanks, Neil

When I got my car with the 32/36 weber on it the original studs were used and there were spacers used to take up the space, sort of like a stack of washers.

you want to get tubing that will not collapse. get food grade tubing from an aquarium supply or home depot
