Hey guys,
So I sent the carburetor off to be rebuilt, came back looking sweet, installed it.
I don’t have all the 4 and 3 way vacuum tees to finish reconnecting every circuit, need a Weber guy to kindly sell me their rats nest of vacuum hoses for an 89’ 2.6L also need the 4 way thermal ported switch mine has one broken nipple (I may be able to fix it).
Preliminary results point towards a 2x increase in mpg, truck runs very smooth and is very torquey. I suspect the carburetor had punctured diaphragms ?
Would like to get the rest of the circuits running (i.e. egr.. etc...)
So far the carburetor rebuild and install has made this rig 100% drivable, hallelujah ! The Wifey even said .. Honey take me for a spin... I got it one piece at a time - Yeah whatever - I’m old. The truck speakers I bought absolutely rock btw. Retrosound.
One last thing, will this starter work on the 2.6L ?

I can PayPal or send funds through the mail for any parts.
Thanks for all the encouragement and help, next up will be header install and new exhaust. Bought a new 8” x 32” truck muffler with 2” in/out @ an estate sale for $2. My hope is to have an entirely new 2” performance exhaust that will be super quiet. Zoom. Zoom.
