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 |

Rich Well its not the bosch, its the one from auto motion, i think its described as sport distributor for porsche 55-80 somehtin, we checked the timing and dwell, everything looks just about spot on, it does skip a little though, its not a solid on the mark, sometimes its ahead, sometimes behind, but we also found a leak around the intake so we're gonna check on that and see if it helps |
