I'm wondering what the differences are, and in general (flame suit on) which is "better"? More specifically, what would be the benefits/drawbacks in changing from IDTP-->IDAs? For what it's worth, this isn't something I'm considering doing, it's something that's already been done on a factory /6 I'm looking at. I have the opportunity to purchase the IDTPs in addition to or as a replacement for the IDAs, but have been told the engine is running very, very well with the IDAs. I like the originality idea of sticking with the stock carbs, but don't want to sacrifice performance or the convenience of a more modern, more fully developed product *if* that's what the IDAs constititute.
Basically I don't know shit about carbs. Yet. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Any and all feedback (opinions even!) would be appreciated. Thanks all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) edit: Replaced "40s" verbiage with "IDFs" in an attempt at clarity re-edit: Replaced "IDF" verbiage with "IDA", since that's what they actually are |

Well, Foist .... I do not know nor never have heard of a triple throat IDF. 911 engines (including 914/6) were equipped with Weber 40 IDA 3Cs, 40 IDAP 3Cs, 40 IDS 3Cs and 40 IDT 3Cs. This is not to mention the Solexs and Zeniths. Ron, you were correct, the carbs on the car I'm looking at are 40 IDA 3Cs. I've changed the topic title to reflect that fact. Now...anyone out there able to compare the two for me at all...? Thanks ps: Hey sixnotfour, if you're gonna give Slits the rod please do so in private... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
