    Good job!

    To be honest I was a little surprised to see a price that low on Amazon...I paid $110.00 at CarQuest for one. Install it as it is outlined above and you'll be fine. The Weber DGV 32/36 is essentially "set and forget" but with the advantage of being tunable that the factory carb does not have.

    My own feeling (and I could be wrong) is that a fuel pump relay is not really needed as long as the return line is hooked up. The Weber has provisions to hook up inlet to the bowl and outlet to the return line back to the tank. The instructions for the phony Weber DGES said to plug the return line off. The 2.6 sucks gas as it is, that just made it worse.

    You may benefit from slightly smaller jetting with a 2.0. Call Redline Weber in Cali to get the jet numbers for a 2.0

    Perhaps someone can chime in on wiring for an oil pressure shut off switch. I haven't gotten around to it yet but it is a recommended safety item.

    Good luck!!!

    originalowner - The original price on the fuel pump from amazon was $109. I dbl. checked the part number, lets hope it works! Can't wait to get this all installed and hopefully (fingers crossed) get her back on the road. I picked up most of the parts today, waiting on the carb and fuel pump to come in.

    ohh yeah - redline sent me an extra set of jets bc I'm in Denver (altitude), so I should be covered.
