So I recently bought a 84 720 4x4 with the stock Hitachi on it's last legs, thinking "gee, I've got a couple 32/36 DGVs lying around; I'll just convert it. How hard could it be?"... I'm really starting to regret that...Initially I ran into issues with the adapter (I was sent a L20 adapter instead of a Z24 adapter by Pierce Manifolds) and not getting a good seal on the manifold. Turns out I had a crack on one of the runners and had to replace the mani. A lot more effort than I expected for what should have been simple (end rant)
At this point, I've got everything together, no significant vacuum leaks, and the wiring right, but I can only get it to catch for about 5-10 seconds and it starves. It seems like it is draining the bowl, and if I let it sit for a bit to refill it will catch again for 5-10 seconds (electric pump). I'm guessing low fuel pressue, but does a 32/36 DGEV really want a significantly different pressue than the stock Hitachi? It still ran when I swapped the Hitachi back on the make sure the issue was carb related.
