hi, I new to this board but I own a 82 rx7 and just recently got a delorto carb for it. I was wondering if anybody could give me a link to a web page on how to install it or could just tell me how. I was wondering what things to remove like the air pump and other emission things. what vacume lines will I keep? any help would be great.

you need a manifold for that carb, i believe dellorto's have the same bolt patterns as weber ida's. Racing beat and mazdatrix both sell the manifols you need!
BTW where did you find a dellorto I have been looking for one for a long time?

FYI
racing beat sold those and they came with some blocking plates I think for the manifold setup. You have to make sure if the carb is set up for your motor.(12A-13B)
When I bought them from racing beat you specify what size engine so they set up your jetting. there should be brass throttle linkage also.
You know those cheap *** Purolater dail choke regulater's ...at minimum get one.
Or get the holly cheapo. They say what PSI to set (I know its lower than a Holly I forgot)4.5??? This carb sputters in hard turns in Auto X. I think float drop was 15mm. It needs to be checked and thats easy enough.Its a cool carb but I prefer Webber 48 DD.
Enjoy that thing!!!

well it is a 12a motor. I know for a fact that the manifold and carb are for the engine. as for mods on the car shouldn't matter for installing the carb but for tuning it which I can tune it. but I have RB haders, the whole cat/catback exhaust, msd box/coils, jacob elect. wires, on a stock port (shortly will have a streetport). the carb is a 48 ida. And I just not familar with the rx7's emission/vaccume lines and etc like that. so can anybody help me with a list of things to be removed, and which lines I will need to use?

The dhla 48 was originally designed for custom VW's and porshse but is well suited to either a well ported/open exhaust 12A or 13B. If you haven't done so already you may want to do your street-port to your 12A before you try to install/ tune the 48.
