can u use an XF falcon carbie? someone said i can, mines a 2.6L carbie 2nd gen

Hehe, I have a carby here off an auto TP if ya want it $20.

I have 2 Sigma 2.6 carbies... and a TP manual carby (i presume)... just not sure what model to whack on the L300 4x4 (2.6 powered Astron II)

Sigma carby is 30/32 and magna is 32/35 unless u get an astron II sigma carby which is the same as the magna carby.

Make an adapter plate and install a weber!

Magna carbi's are a terrible design.

34/34 or 32/36, whatever you can find cheap and fit.

Its not an exact science, but if you get a 34/34 I will have all my development to offer. Jet size, rebuild info etc as I have done a few astrons.

Awesome!! thanks heaps for the info!

i got a manual tp with a holden 202 carby on it would i b able to take the adaptor plates and carby and put on my auto tn?

Is it true you can even put twin webbers on? Would this give more of a performance boost over a single webber?

agreed :rant:

the throttle gets stuck open and when it comes time to turn the car off, it wont stop running cos the anti dieseling solenoid doesn't work. so you go to get dinner from the shop and your motor keeps stuttering even without the keys in the ignition. go get tea, come back to find the motor is still stuttering and you get home and eventually have to somehow get the throttle closed cos it's almost siezed open... while the motor stutters cos it wont stop running.

stupid mikuni piece of s|-|ite. still pulls burnouts though. i guess that's all that matters

the solenoid closest to the firewall. one screw holds it in.

You will find its the "idle cut off solinoid"

They usually run on because they are still getting spark from inducted voltage from the thermo fan.
