Well after fighting this weird carb (i think it is off either a Toyota 20r or 7k motor) I have decided to bite the bullet and get some webers. My question is which should I get and where? I have seen so many different distributors and various kits. I'd like to ensure I get everything I need and also get a quality product. This is for a 2.0 liter and I am assuming (although not sure) that it has stock cam.
Any help is appreciated. |

I bought a empi hpmx kit and have been very happy with them. got the whole kit for around $650 as I recall.
i'm using them on a rebuilt 1975 1.8 with stock cam. Used tangerine racing fuel pump kit as well as thier replacement fuel lines. runs sweet and I get relatively decent mileage. |

i would recommend buying a used set off the samba/craigs list. then buy tangerine racings dual carb pully kit with the money you save.

The reviews I've seen are pretty good for empi especially considering price. |

I don't think you can buy new webers anymore, so the empi kit is a redone setup with decent reviews.
Either you buy new from empi, or you can buy rebuilt units online or from Art Thraen. Rich |

Well the empi kits are very affordable on eBay. I may go that route. Is the tangerine pulley system worth the money? Does it really make syncing the carbs easier?

I'm still using the hex bar system that came with the kit, but may plan to replace sometime in the future. budget vs driving time was my initial factor. the hpmx carbs look just like webers and use all the same jets etc. if cost wasn't a criteria, I'd have purchased A set of webers redone by Art.
I do check my linkage after about 500 miles, tho. |
