Identify the carb and pipe on it

[mk1nova_rich]

As some of you may know I fitted a 12ST from a Nova into my Mk2 Astra estate, and assumed that the carb would be a Pierburg 1B... it is a Weber
single choke carb with fuel return :confused: any ideas?? Apologies for crappy phone pics...

Also what is the cast pipe just above the square part of the manifold? :confused:

[mk1nova_rich]

Still need to identify this fooker, any ideas...?!

[garyc]

36tlp ?

[mk1nova_rich]

Not a clue mate, not kept at home so I can't look for any casting marks :( the main thing is just finding an air filter for it asap...

Just get hold of a 2e or 1b and fit itg air filter? The varijet twin choke is a good carb I've raced with them for nearly 12 years

[mk1nova_rich]

Need it on road asap so sourcing another carb is out of the question lol just want to find a filter to fit it thats all

[dan23]

looks like the carb found on 1 litre engine but i m probably wrong
remove the carb an take it to auto factors an get them to match a kn filter for it

[mk1nova_rich]

No it has a fuel return whereas the 1.0 carb doesnt :confused: I'm gona bodge an air filter on lol

Pair o' your finest tights will do the trick lol

[jimbob-mcgrew]

tights lol, ive tried that before and it got bloody sucked into the engine and spat out the exhaust.

2 screw filter housing from an spi might work ?
had one of these webers on a previous 12ST, i believe a few engines came with them as standard ?
was just as good as the 1b i thought.

what you done with the return ?
got a connector for it on the fuel tank, or you loop-returned it to the feed line ?

[mk1nova_rich]

Yeh the fuel tank has a return pipe (Its on a Mk2 Astra)

A lad is bringing me a 1.2 filter tonight so I will be able to check it for fit, and modify as necessary. Although I have been considering the SPi inlet as another option...

Rich this looks like your carb if any help mate :) >LINK (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/vauxhall-nova-carb-and-manifold-autograss-banger-/260698427842)<

Nope its completely different :p but cheers anyway Dave. Everything seems against me at the minute, was hoping to get it MOT'd this weekend but highly unlikely :(

Danny - it has a fuel return whereas the 1.0 carb doesn't...

Under closer inspection you right lol

[mk1nova_rich]

Under closer inspection you right lol

Actually in the same room as the picture maybe?! lol lol

[mk1nova_rich]

Just got an air filter off Stewart_2004 and it looks to be the right one!! :d

[grooge]

i'd agree with garyc, it looks like a weber 36tlp. i've got one on mine and it looks identical.

mine was supplied by fast road cars as a direct replacement for the single choke peirburg on early sr.
