Info to Know Before Purchasing Redline-Weber Kits


When choosing a kit or carburetor there's a few things we would like you to know. Please take a few minutes to consider the following. Think about how you use your vehicle and what you want to accomplish. Redline has kits that range from a stock performance replacement for a worn out O.E. carb to absolute race performance carburetors. There are many differing levels in between like the OUTLAW 38, the absolute in two-barrel bolt on performance. The performance gains you receive will come from the choices you make now.

Do you plan to add headers later on? Will you be rebuilding the motor with bigger pistons and a cam? These will affect your choice of carburetor. Redline has pre-calibrated all kits-- the base line is for a factory stock motor. On the PROLINE performance kits, due to a varying level of performance modifications (mild to wild) and because of the desire of many consumers and a history Redline has gathered, they under-calibrate the highest performance range, to be street usable. Many people like the larger 45/48-mm carb's but use them in non-racing applications. Redline calibrates all kits for street use and drivability. This is not to guarantee that no additional calibration will be needed on these kits.

Always check your factory fuel system. The Redline Weber only requires 2.5 to 3 Lbs. of fuel pressure. Many newer systems use higher fuel pressures. You will need to add a fuel pressure regulator to these systems. We highly recommend that you install a new fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator when installing your new Redline-Weber carburetor kit. Buy the Redline Fuel Pump and Redline Fuel Pressure Regulator here.

When installing a new carburetor or fuel systems component always install a new fuel filter.

The DCOE and IDF ultimate performance family of carburetor are not compatible with a vacuum advance distributor system. You will need to recurve your distributor or adjust the timing to compensate. You may also want to purchase a performance mechanical distributor.
