carb questions....best one for a 60?

[83 chif]

my friend had a weber 38 on his FJ60, and instead of rebuilding it, we put on a weber 32/36. he thinks there is a huge loss of power over the 38. should the power loss really be that noticeable? what carb do you recomend to get the most power out of the 2F?? should we go back to a 38, or is there another brand too look into?

The OEM carb, rebuilt by either Mark A or Jim C on this board

The 38 weber is the better choice of weber carbs. I run one with all my smog junk removed and love it. If you still have all the smog I would get you factory one rebuilt by JIm here on the board. I have heard nothing but praise of his work.

Stock

I am of the opinion that stock is the way to go. These vehicles aren't built for speed and a reliable carb is a must. I rebuilt mine last year with Toyota parts for $ 60, and that should last me another 20 years I hope.
