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 |

cant help you with that webpage...its just a picture with no part numbers.
Here is one thing to check. Mark your fan at 27 degrees if its not already. Use the template posted in this article. Move the mark to the front of the fan so you can see it. http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/9.../914_timing.htm Then, get your car up to 3200-2500 rpm and see if you are on the 27 degree mark...steadily. That will be the key. The curve may still be wrong, but you need to make sure you can get all the advance and the max rpm (3200-3500) If that is all ok, tighten everything down on the intake and have your friend push the gas pedal down all the way..see if the linkage is binding. (car off). 3500 with no load is alot less pedal than 3500 with a load. make sure your carbs open up all the way based upon however you did the linkage setup. Rich |
