I need to replace the Weber on my 4.3lx. I see jegs and summit offer a 1409 and a 350-9909 which appears to be a factory reman 1409. There is about a $50 difference in price. Am I correct on the 350-9909 being the same?

Seems like 600 cfm is a bit large for a 4.3L. Is that the recommended replacement for your Weber.....cfm wise? Just a thought.

A 600 cfm carb should work okay on a 4.3L IF the primaries are smaller then the secondaries and the secondaries are vacuum operated and not mechanical. That way you will enjoy a snappy response. Too many times some folks think bigger is better. I know I use to subscribe to the notion in my teen years. A 850 double pumper on a mere 340cid engine was not a good thing... :facepalm:

Ayuh,.... That's the Kit I bought to retune My 4.3l Weber carb,....

It ran way to rich with the Merc tunin',....

What jets the 089 ???? Iam pretty sure my tbi is coming off this year and its carb's ahoy. Ill miss the fool proof starts i think but will not miss the anticapted cost of fuel cell replacement and a few other little niceities...

Ayuh,..... I wish I could remember TG,... It was back before I was here at iboats,... 'bout '98, or '99,....

I "Think" I used the jets that were in it, 'n used fatter needles, 'n different springs, to lean it out abit,...

What I do remember, is with that plastic box of carb parts, yer options are nearly endless,....
