Installing dual carbs for the first time, Nevermind! Sticking with the Fuel Injection Options

[JRust]

Okay so I am putting a nice set of dual weber 40's on the LE. Going to get my break in miles done & drive it while I work on the FI stuff on the side. I get the basics of how to get them on. Was hoping someone could give me a nice step by step so I don't miss anything. Or put it on in the wrong order. I got the complete setup from Rich & he included everything needed except linkage which I picked up.
I allready installed the distributor & the intakes. I know I need to get my car to TDC & make sure my firing order is right.

Okay lay it on me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . In simple terms please (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

More of it, it's on my engine, haven't seen it used on anything before.

It works really nice, easy to adjust, can't find it new anywhere though.

Biosurfer's motor (Brett), who bought it from me, whom I bought it from Jamie, whom Jamie bought it from Craig boxstr and who he bought it from someoneone back east came with that linkage when it came to me. I really like the way it worked and it's simplicity. Not being a carb guy I had asked from numerous people for their opinions on the linkage and everyone told me to get rid of it. The common message was I would constantly have problems with keeping the carbs in sync once the motor warmed-up. Their reasoning is as our air cooled motors heat up, the parts expand and at different rates due to some parts running hotter than others, like the different heads. Since the bell crank is fixed, not floating, the expansion pulls differently on the different rods changing the pull on the webers. I heard this from several independent people. I have no idea if it's true or not, but it kind of made sense to me so I replaced the linkage with a CB kit. Never did start the engine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Ah, but that's exactly why this set-up seems so good from a mechanical point of view. It doesn't care if the engine expands or contracts moving the carbs farther away or closer together. That's the beauty of it.

Kinda hard to explain, but when you see it in action, you can see it work.

Very simple.

Very easy to adjust (set up cold, not hot).

Fewer parts.

I could be totally wrong myself, but I've had quite a few years with carbs on 911 engines, bugs, 914's etc and after seeing this linkage, I like it best.
