PIERBURG NEUSS carb on a Capri V6

Post by z400d3 »

Hi,

My son has recently bought a 1981 1600 Capri with a V6 engine fitted

After reading through posts on this forum I am assuming that the engine is the V6 Essex engine which should have a weber 38 DGAS carb fitted

The carb that is fitted has the name "PIERBURG NEUSS" on it and doesn't look right as the retaining nuts are only on by a thread or two

The engine runs ok with the carb on but won't idle, I p[lan to fit a weber 38 DGAS carb but am not sure if I will need a diferent inlet manifold etc

I have attached some photos, any help appreciated

Cheers .. Chris

DGAS should bolt straight on as that's a std 3 ltr manifold. The base of that carb is about double the thickness of the weber so fitting the dgas with be fine with plenty thread to secure it.
