I've just gotten a new (to me at least) 87 mighty max that doesn't run and had been sitting for about five years, i bought it with the carb off and it's so corroded that i'm not going to attempt to rebuild it, to me it's not worth the hassle when i barely know what i'm doing in the first place. so while shopping around i came across this website and discovered it's really common to swap webers on to these old trucks and i decided that's what i want to go with. I know this topic has been done a million times but i'm lazy and after reading through 6 pages of discussion i decided i'd just ask for help. There's the basics of the carb and adapter itself and the electric fuel pump, and i've already ordered those so I've got a few questions about the install.
geezer101 said on a old thread "There are intake manifold modifications you will also need to factor in (sealing the coolant port under the carb seat gasket and the coolant barb that normally runs to the Mikuni water choke)." so i guess i'll finally get around to asking my questions, do i need to do anything aside from attach the electric fuel pump in terms of regulators or pickups in the tank, what do i seal the coolant port under the carb gasket and barb with? and with the deleting the mechanical fuel pump is there any items i'll need to add to my shopping list to do that?
Again, sorry for bringing up something again and that's been discussed a million times, and sorry for asking what i'm sure seems to you guys are dumb questions. i come from the world of Hondas and efi and have yet to work on a carbureted engine let alone modify one so it's a completely new world for me.
