    I'm attempting to install a Weber k 614 32/36 on my 2.6 with 5 speed. This kit did not include a block off plate between the carb and the intake. Does anyone know were i could find one. I'm really thinking about starting my own thread ( manly so i don't hijack another members).

    Anyone have any other thread suggestions or can tell me what all I'm going to need. I was very naive in thinking this would just bolt down and run. The research i have done so far has led me to, adding a electric fuel pump / blocking manual fuel pump. What else am i missing??

    Do you mean the adapter plates to adapt the stock carb bolt pattern to the Weber bolt pattern? That should have been included in the K614 kit as a standard part. If you got the kit from an proper vendor like Redline Weber, Pierce Manifolds, or Carbs Unlimited (carburetion.com), contact them to say they sent you a kit missing the adapter plates.

    If you meant a plate to block off the hole in the head where you removed the stock mech fuel pump, you can use a fuel pump block-off plate for a classic Chevy big-block V8, Ford big/small block V8, Mopar V8. This is the diamond-shaped 2-bolt plate, not the 4-bolt plate for Chevy small-blocks. Some minor modification may be required (e.g. filing down a bit of the two longer sides), so get an alloy plate rather than the steel version.

    Thanks for your reply SubGothius, I received the plate to bolt the carburetor to the intake. I was thinking since the stock carburetor is a water choke that the holes in the intake under the carburetor would need to be covered by a plate.

    Hopefully the photos will show up. The holes I circled in red are the ones i was needing to know if they need a plate or not?
