Carb selection question, Bad day. MPS shot Options

[DarrenG]

Bad day.

Took the teener ('74 2.0) for a test drive last night. first trip since the rebuild. Made it almost 3 miles. struggled to keep it from stalling, managed to get it up to 60, then total loss of power. Couldn't even get up a hill - towed home. She had all the signs of a blown MPS: extremely rich, hard to start.

This is getting old.

Options: Try to find a reasonable, decent MPS.
Switch to carbs - which I am seriously considering because I've had to fix broken wires on the harness 4 times already. When it has run (400 miles in a year) I had to constantly feather the pedal to keep it from losing power (another problem?). Just wondering how much this old FI system has left. I don't want to go too high end, because I'm upside down in this car already.

I am not trying to restart the carb vs. EFI debate. So, I'll stick with one specific question:

Are dual Weber 34 ICT's sufficient for a 2056?

This is a daily driver (hopefully), but I also don't want to get passed by some old lady in a miata.

Thanks for the advice.

I'm going the route of just building my own megasquirt 2 system. No more vacuum issues and then I'll time it with the Ford Edis system. Under a grand total and I can fix every bit of it quickly. I prefer circuits to mechanical things like vacuum and points. For the money you'd spend on carbs you could buy the premade megasquirt 2 system and throw on an electronic distributor (crane optical/pertronix 2, etc) and have pretty much the same fuel injection attributes you get with the stock system when it's working and much less wear/possible failures.
