Carb and distributor options Options

[21783mike]

I have decided for the time being that I need to get my project off the jack stands and on the road before I totally lose my enthusiasm. For simplicities sake I am going to go to carb/carbs and a Mallory distributor for the time being, the FI is screwed up enough that for now I do not have the time nor patience to deal with it. I need to drive it so I can decide how much money I am actually going to throw at it.
I am familiar with the single32/36 progressive Weber from past years ago on an Old Isuzu Trooper I had put one on, it was great on that application but folks here seem to hate it.... though without really saying why. In my mind having an electric choke and not having to sync multiple carbs seems a fair trade for a few hp if thats the primary drawback.
The Baby Webers ..... the 34's, whats the story? Sufficient for a stock engine?
40's price difference makes these unattractive as I plan to get the FI back on next year after I pull the motor to freshen it up.... If I spend the money on the 40's I think I might not ever go back to the FI.

Distributor - there's a few different ones on Jeg's, is the 4554101 with mech adv the one I need? Or is the 4754101 with Vac adv a better choice.....

And finally anyone have these items laying around in good enough condition to bolt on that they want to sell.... cheap (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Thanks in advance guys,

My first experience with 914s was buying a non-running 71 1.8.
The PO had just had the tranny rebuilt, and could not get the FI working again when he tried to put it back together.
I bought it non-running, but I had experience with Type-Is from bugs & Ghias.

I scrapped the FI, and put in dual dellortos, and a facet fuel pump.

It fired up on the very first try, and I drove it (from CA, to CO, to OK) without issues for another 6-8 years with no major problems.
Good Luck & watch out for modern fuels.....
