I'm going to restore (try to) a set of Italian Weber 40idf carburetors to put on a 1.7 engine. I have two sets of manifolds... one set has a vacuum port on one runner (each side of engine), and the other has none at all. Is one type favored?
Which do I want to use, and why? - I have no idea what the vac ports would connect to. If they help even out idle, I'd want them I guess. Thoughts? |

QUOTE(dtmehall @ Aug 5 2026, 08:18 PM)  what kind of distirbuter? These are bigger ports on the manifolds than typical of a vacuum port on a distributor.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) But to answer the question, I have not really thought about it - I do have a Pertronix Flamethrower SVDA in a box somewhere, so probably that. |
