This one that I MAY be able to get is off a worked-over hybrid. I am just afraid of getting a carb that I can't get parts for later or
that will require extensive jetting and/or modification to work on my car.
I really want a 38/38 but I was hoping to acquire a used one at a very good price so I could sell my street legal carb and offset the
cost of it.
Out of curiosity, how much do you charge to tune carbs? Just in case I couldn't get it dialed in correctly? It may be cheaper than
me buying jets and other parts and stabbing in the dark.

That could get expensive with the price of gas, I'm in north central Illinois . Tuning prices depend upon time spent and whether or
not the carb needs work . Jets are getting quite costly but tuning just takes time is all. Without the engine/vehicle here it's not
easy on motors I'm not used to dealing with every day. The Suzukis I can tune off the top of my head with just some basic info
and cylinder pressure checks. Most of the Toy aftermarket shops should be able to tell you a very close jetting point to start with
based on your engine, which is about all I do with my customers. From that point the rest is just based upon driving impressions
and power gains .

Anyone figure out a cable travel length yet??
Spent part of last week building a 38DGAS onto a stock intake, looks to work very well with the taller adapter . Also got a closer
look at the Offenhauser manifold, what a waste of money. No offense, I'm sure it works well at low revs but the stock manifold
would really work better overall from what I've seen. Talked to a couple of guys that have switched back to the stocker and are
very surprised how well they worked. One had tried to use a 40DFAV on his Offy with some nasty results, it just couldn't breathe
with that split runner design. The design works well on the older inline MG motors, but they do not have the cfm rates at higher
revs like the Toy 2.4L engines.
Also, I think I've found a solution to the cable adaptation problem for the Toy trucks to run the DCNF carbs. I think we'll just make
a cable wheel and use the stock cable to turn the wheel and in turn move a short cable that can drive the carb linkage . Or
possibly even a solid ball arm, whichever is the cleanest install .

I'll try to get this measurement today or tomorrow.
I wouldn't think the dual plane model would be very effective on synchronous carburetors. the smaller runner for use with the
progressive carb probably works quite well though to keep the mixture velocity high.
when I install the 40 I'm going to be using the stock manifold. hoping to start that in a couple of weeks or so.
Re: Weber 32/36DGV verses the Weber 38DGES
I'll try to get some pics up of the manifold work and plugs used , the main one below the carb was a real pain , something like
22mm . I found out the stock Suzuki trans drain plug is the correct size so I used a spare . Nice to get rid of the vacuum crap,
also plugged off the extra water holes from the sensors for the stock carb . I'm seriously not impressed with that split runner, just
too small even for a well flowed 32/36 .
I talked to the owner of the intake and there is a possibility of the fuel injected later model trucks might have the same throttle
cable setup, just longer for the efi . If that's the case, we're in business for the DCNF swap . I'll spend some time at the parts
house early next week to verify it ....

Well, the 40DCNF project starts next week thanks to some help from this board. The later model 22RE in the 4Runners is longer
and has the correct ends to work on the earlier pickups, perfect for this build. Now I just gotta find a test truck to work out the
bugs....
