Need some help choosing Dual carbs, Switching over to carbs. Options

[weird_looking_cactus]

I know for sure that Im going to stick dual carbs on my 1975 2.0 But the mechanic said its going to cost $500-$600 for the carbs he hasn't looked yet to see what he can get. I asked if they were weber carbs and he said those are going to cost alot more. Im thinking about getting some carbs online myself and just pay for the labor to get them put on. That will probley be cheaper. But Im not sure of any good places. Im looking for some good carbs that arn't going to be over kill but will make my porsche run really good.
Im asking for help with the carbs and I have made my mind up that Im not sticking with fuel injection so please don't tell me how good fual injection is and how I should not go with carbs. Thanks to all those who help (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)

Chill out Scott. Nobody is suggested he repair his FI system 'just because' it's right. He's in a totally different place than you were. He's got all the FI pieces but he doesn' t even know why the car is not starting/running. He doesn't know if his tank, filter or lines are plugged. He has no idea whether his fuel pump is working or not. We're just trying to save the kid a grand.

I just don't understand the "I'm switching to carbs because I don't undestand FI" attittude. If someone spends a couple hours reading and a couple hours with a multimeter they'll understand djet pretty well in just a Saturday afternoon. The tests for the individual components are usually pretty easy to do.

My frustration comes from how the carb vs FI topic seems to always outweigh any other discussion point. there are folks on this list who own some extremely poor examples of our beloved cars - things I would classify as rusty pieces of junk that have no business being on the road. Yet we welcome them with open arms, tell them what a great car they have. Then there is other ugly head - if a car is on ebay and not owned by one of our members it is a piece of junk. If it is carbed, it has been butchered by a crappy mechanic and worth far less than an FI car.
Sorry for the rant - it's just getting old.
