Alpine Innovations Webcon intake manifold

[ColinLM]

I am searching for an Alpine Innovations intake manifold for the WEBER DGV 32/36 carburetor.
I already have a DGV on my Series V (1725 engine, owned for 7 years) and want to get a little better performance.
I thought I would try "locally" before buying one from A I.

Good luck with that, they are hard to find. I gave up and bought the intake from a seller in UK that sold AI intake a little cheaper than AI. I bought a 38/38 DGES from Pierce Manifolds. The manifold is made for a progressive 32/36, so I had to open up the top a little and alter the spacer. Works great.

Great choice. I put a 38/38 DGES on my Series III GT with a stock single downdraft Solex manifold. I did the proper porting to accommodate. Achieved increased and reliable performance.

What is the trick to getting the electric choke set? I followed the Weber exactly and the thing just will not give me the proper increased idle when it's cold. It's either too much or not at all... it makes no sense!

Would you be interested in a stock Series IV s0lex manifold?

Tom;
Thank you, but no.
I have a Weber on the car now with what I believe is the manifold for the original 2 bbl carburetor (Solex?)
I drive at least 60 miles / week with my club.
It is working fine, but I'm wanting to upgrade.

How about a Series 2 manifold with two Webers. See picture

Thanks for the offer, but I am happy with my DGV.

Having the same problem too though mine works erratically and I think it’s the choke cable sliding abit but I have to really sit down and check.

I have no experience with the electric choke.
Mine is manual, but it does take some tweaking to get it set up right..
