Tune, parts, help me get it on the street

Post by 80Corollin »

So I have my '80 sr5 coupe or "sportcoupe" as some say, I need to get it going for my daily and need a few tips. I'm going to purchase a weber carb and was curious about doing a FPR with it.. Should i? And how about idling/timing set up? As well as a new fuel pump?

Lots of people ask this.......... If FPR means a regulator you dont have to if you get the right pump. Weber sells a pump for all their carbs, or you can get a low pressure high flow pump. All you need is a pump with 1 to 4 psi Pressure, if you get a cheap pump low psi low flow you will have problems with it. So get a Carter or weber. Some people use stock pumps but I dont like that idea myself. Timing and idling is the same as stock, you are just adding a carb to the car.
But remember you will be the computer for the car once you start upgrading things. :lol: So setting the carb and getting some jets will come with it.
