I just did that same thing to mine. But I bought the whole kit with the adapter plate. You did not do that? Not that there is anything wrong with how you did it mine worked out great and i had had most of the other stuff out off the way already. I am getting 18mpg right now before it was 20mpg, I am asuming that is because the webber is a little bigger than the original. What is your MPG?

I read a little more about where you got the carb. I got mine from http://www.carburetion.com/ and they sell the whole kit for the 2.0 for $300 now i asked for the one with the manual choke. The one listed is the one with the electric coke and i was sick of all the electric stuff on the old carb. I called them by the way i did not order it on the net i just checked it out. You will have to get new studs for the intake manifold for it to work with the adapter plate. they are 8mmX1.25 I just went to ace hardware and got some two inch bolts and cut the hex end off. Make sure they have threads the whole length of the bolt because you have to measure to get it right. i bought extra just in case plus they were hard to find.

anyways I took it to the muffler shop and had it welded up for $5. I had them weld just the inside so later on I could drill it out and hook up a air fuel gauge. |

The hose connects to the intake manifold and flows through the intake to the head...there is a hole between #2 and #3 piston chambers for coolant flow...
