Hey Guys The spooky im buying has a new webber carbie and adaptor on it and has a snorkle but is not connected. Im assuming he had carbie problems and went webber and never bothered to connect the snorkel. Does anyone know if someone makes an adaptor or if someone has made one before? If not i'd be keen to sell the weber and adaptor kit for a standard carb, air box and chase difference. Thanks |

Fmoss, If you can get an original tophat and airbox then you could do somthing similar to this. Photos attached. |

There is a big problem with that setup using the stock tophat. If your driving with just the primary throat open then al is good but when the secondary opens it robs all the air from the primary throat and it dies and stalls. I know cos i tried this when i had a weber oin the sierra. Air needs to come directly down onto both throats. another problem is the sierra airbox is very restrictive and webers like to breath easily. Webers will work very well on a sierra on or off road but do not like the factory sierra intake or snorkels. |

Webers will work very well on a sierra on or off road but do not like the factory sierra intake or snorkels. also if u stick with the webber it should be mounted facing backwards, so the first and secondary ports match up, then if u want more performance out of it u need to cut and shape the holes to match the webber holes. which will give u more power and better fuel aconomy. thats why most sierra webbers run shitty couse the fuel hits the undersizes opening ports. |

This is what I used on my old Sierra, Weber on a modified manifold into modified 1ltr airbox, into snorkel, the top hat was restrictive and the whole setup wasnt ideal but the car still ran fine. Cant remember where I got it from but might still have the receipt somewhere if your interested to know. From memory it was around $150ish
