Alright guys, I've been battling this for quite some time now and I'm just not understanding why this car won't go. I put dual empi carbs on it, in link below, and a non vacuum distributor. In the driveway this car will rev up no problem, sounds great, take it out for a spin and put it under a load, about 45-50 is all I can seem to squeeze out of it. Whats going on?
Thanks http://www.ebay.com/itm/VW-TYPE-2-BUS-PORS...366&vxp=mtr |

Driving back from Berkeley yesterday, I made the mistake of filling up with Valero gasoline. It's probably different, if you even have it in TX, but I had the same symptoms - it's like it isn't nearly the octane they claim it is, pinging and loss of power.
