"The book" is for stock 914s. Since you have "a carb", your car is not stock. Did the car ever run with the carb on it?

Make sure you do not have the high-pressure fuel injection pump. It will overwhelm the carb floats and dump fuel all over your engine. Not a good thing. Then you have to figure out how the pump is powered, or figure out how you want it powered. Then wire it up...

Final advice: Take the single-carb setup off the car, and apply a large hammer to it. Once it is nicely flattened, throw it as far away from your car as you can manage. Duals are the only carb setup that should be used on our motors.
