rebuilding a weber 32-36 dgev

[opeldean]

i am blending parts..i dont know if its best to tear apart my old
intake or fix up the spare one with new studs.spare has a hole that needs plugged..i dont know how to plug it...by the brake vacuum inlet..

[opeldean]

its easier to work outside the bay

[opeldean]

i guess you grind metal to fit gasket

[oldopelguy]

With what you've got there, I guess I'd go:

Manifold
Red Gasket or Weber base gasket
Heat Shield
Phenolic Gasket
Carb

For the easiest install. Don't foget to open up all the gaskets to the dimension of the Weber base gasket. Looks like someone already ground away some material on the manifold that was in your car. Put the Weber base gasket on the other one for a comparison.

Oh, and remember, small end of the Weber gasket goes on the side away fom the head, for the primary.

You could use a phenolic gasket under the heat shield as well, to keep it cooler, but do you cutting and modifing to it and not the heat shield. The heat shield can vibrate quite a bit and holes in it might just be crack seeds. A little "persuasion" around the edge of the phenolic spacer won't hurt anything, just make the outside edges of it look like the red gaskets.

As to the hole, tap it and plug it. Ideally use a 1/8" pipe tap and plug, but if you'e not going to use it for a port you could just as easily use any tap and matching short bolt that fit. Just use a little teflon tape before you do the final assembly. I completely forgot about that.

bushing in my linkage is half gone..anyone know where i can get a replacement.

PS:i hope to begin filming the carb rebuild tomorrow night .. got delayed

[kwilford]

Polyurethane grommets are available from OGTS. And check the driver's side, as it often needs replacing as well.

WELL..THERE HAVE BEEN DELAYS GETTING SCHEDULES CO-ORDINATED...but IT IS COMING TOGETHER.

I AM PUTTING TOGETHER A TRAINING MANUAL IN COLOR TO GO ALONG WITH THE VIDEO. (BY DOING THE TRAINING MANUAL FORCES ME TO LEARN THE STEPS)

THERE IS NO WAY I COULD HAVE DONE THIS ON MY OWN BY LOOKING AT LINE DRAWINGS AND EXPLODED VIEWS.

I BELIEVE I WILL HAVE THIS DONE IN 3 WEEKS.WHEN I AM DONE
ANYONE WILL BE ABLE TO WATCH THE VIDEO AND GET CONFINDENT.WE WILL SEE IF GARY CAN POST THE VIDEO AND POST THE MANUAL SO YOU CAN DOWNLOAD IT.

HERE IS A TEASER OF WHAT IS TO COME.I AM SHOOTING THE VIDEO DIRECT TO DVD

Man O Man, Bucky, that puts my V-6/T-5 Phases to shame. But I'm sure it will help a lot of folks that want to rebuild their carbs. A very nice project.

how many want a video?

i have the master done on dvd.i filmed as a mechanic rebuilt my 32-36.

i dont have the capabilities to copy dvd in quantities.

it is not a professional production,but it is in 13 chapters, in about 1 1/2 hours you can see everything..it is in real time..cut into chapters.

you watch this video and you can rebuild a 32/36.

after watching this video ,i was able to rebuild my dcoe 40's on my own.

if only 1 or 2 want a video,then i would sugggest we share my master. if others want copies..we will work it out somehow. i can easily make a few copies on vhs tape,but you wont be able to skip thru sections.

let me know who is interested.so far micah1 has expressed an interest..any others?

if a bunch of people want a copy..i can put it on a cd that will play in windows media player..but unless someone can help me here..i dont have software to copy dvds

cost? $5..should cover it.

[nobody]

Yes I'd like to see it.

[tomking]

I will take one Bucky, er, I a mean OpelDean.

[opeldean]

i shipped dvds to Micha1,tomking,nobody.
anybody else?

[jerseyopel]

I want one, pm me with where to send $$$. Charlton

[opeldean]

when you get it ,send me $5

[svopel]

I would like a copy.

Thanks ..

Ken

[kwilford]

I must have missed that last post. Yep, I'd like one. Can I PayPay you?

[emericanskater1]

I'd also like one. Just let me know how you want to be paid....I don't mind paying upfront.

[opeldean]

you can paypal me in advance or wait and see if it plays on your home dvd first.

I had 3 copies and 3 addresses which i sent today to micah1,jersey opel and nobody

send me a PM with your address if you want one

I will send out the next batch in early january, as i have to use a friends copy software.i can make a master,just not a copy," go figure as they say"

dvd will play on a newer version dvd player-(set top on your TV ).
it plays on my 1 year old sony and my 2 year old off brand,but not on my 4 year old panansonic.its got chapter marks so you can skip if it gets too dull for you.

dont expect a lot, I feel it is a clear picture with good sound, but it is live. in real time. i believe if you watch it,look at a few pictures in a manual, you will be able to disassemble and put the 32-36 dgev back together.

[GOLDOPELGTS]

Put me on your list to get a copy. Thanks!

Ron

[jlthunder]

Please put me on your mailing list. I will PM you my address

[opeldean]

i shipped the rest of the addresses i had
bosco,wayne,opelgt72,svopel,tomking,azopelnut,flip per,kwilford,jtthunder.

i made 6 extra copies as the computer is working and not freezing.

chapter 6/7 have issues,but you can skip thru that...its all there in other parts

if you did not send me your address,send it to me.

[kwilford]

Dean,

Mine came today. I haven't had a chance to play it yet tonight (143 new posts since I left last week for Cuba) but I will tomorrow. Thanks very much!

[nobody]

A copy goes to Utah doesn't it?

[jlthunder]

Mine showed up Monday. I put it in the DVD player between the rerun episodes of the Simpsons and watched approx 2 minutes until it was dinner time. Looks good. I will watch the rest this weekend. I will send payment by this weekend.


Thanks again
Jeff
