Re: 1978 Honda Civic Project
I'm planning on keeping it carbed, I'm looking for Webber's at the moment. There is a mod to use a OE 32 DGV Webber carb from the mid-70's Datsun and an adapter plater. However I wont be doing an engine work until the interior and exterior are complete.

Re: 1978 Honda Civic Project
would you mind showing me? im not trying to prove you wrong, its just that my dad and I couldnt find any wheels that were 4x120 so we did the 4x100 swap along with 4 wheel disc brakes. and i also tried searching for a bmw wheel that is 4x120 and they all showed 5x120 and 4x100.

Re: 1978 Honda Civic Project
Weber 32/36 DGEV or DGV is a nice Carb. Ran one on my 86 Carbed CRX DX with a SI engine converted over to carb since it was going to be a big hassle to make it MPFI. The 38 DGES is also another option with better performance over the 32/36 but less fuel efficient. The weber carb is definitely a big improvement ove a stock Honda carb. Mine was a 3bbl. stock and what a pain to rebuild plus the rebuild kit was $$$. You can also do away with all that vaccum line junk except for the Distributor advance lines. Let me know if I can be of any help. Been working with these POS Hondas for about 15 years now. Gotta Love EM.
