Times must be hard or George has seen the light and converted. AutoAtlanta sending out sales flyers with a carb conversion kit. I ordered one with the assurance that AA would stand behind the quality even if they are "China junk". I told them that I would come towing my 914 up to their door if they didn't perform.

I have had carbs so this is not just an opinion, but experience.
I would NEVER run another set of of those overgrown perfume atomizers on another car in my life. I can tune them, and they will run well, but running some kind of EFI on a car is much more reliable and WAY more efficient. Modern EFI with learning capability and O2 sensor feedback will make both your mileage and Horsepower go up. Plus, you get turn key running in any weather, no spitting ,popping, coughing and other crap from the carbs when cold. That being said, I run Mechanical Fuel Injection on my car because I like the way it sounds at full throttle. Granted, it is probably just as primitive and cranky as a set of webers, but it out performs the webers, and it sounds WONDERFUL! Just my $0.02 |
