Question Carb Conversion

Hello,
I need to get a new carburetor for my 1983 1.8L, Im pretty sure I will need the Weber 32/36 DGEV, right? Any other options? Can I use a different model carb?

Also where would one go to purchase this? I see a few full conversion kits on ebay but they seem pricey.

I am also having trouble locating other parts for this car, such as spark plugs/wires etc.. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

It looks like the 83 accord has an LX or DX option as a hatch back. Not sure which one you own.

You can probably order parts from a site like Majestic Honda, or hondapartsnow.com.

Denso makes a lot of honda parts, so densoaftermarket.com would also be a good place to look for ignition parts.

I have never dealt with a carb, so I don't what advice to give you. HondaDude is a mod on here and gives advice to people with carb problems. You might want to send him a PM.

Thanks PA, I'll have to check to see if my vehicle is DX or LX and send him a message.

Big ups for the parts sites too... My local NAPA and Auto Zone cant get me everything I need...
