Have a weber carby supposedly for a Sierra 1.3, it came with an adaptor plate, but does not line up.
Are there different manifolds for the 1.3?
Any help appreciated :D

Mate it depends on the style of webber. AFAIK all sierra manifolds are the same

Quick disclaimer: Nil experience with webers here.

I've had a NT and WT, the manifolds were the same although they are both later (87 and 88) models.

In what way does it not line up?

AFAIK you do have to modify the manifold, although thats for flow reasons I read on here?

I haven't fitted a Weber Carb to a zook, but I did fit one to a Nissan 4x4 years ago.
The weber came with two adapter plates. The bottom one mounts onto the manifold and the second one was set up to suit the carb and mounted straight on to the bottom one.
I suspect you are just missing one of these plates.
Check your local weber outlet or just drop in to a carb shop for some advice. :D :D

only one adaptor plate required. I did have to modify it a little for one of the breather?? holes in the plate to line up. other than that, needed to modify the end of the accelerator cable to fit and made up a couple of brackets to hold the cable and the return spring.
