I am trying to install a redline conversion kit #K 297. Which is the progressive two barrel weber on my 2.0 l. I cannot get the manifolds to align up properly to the cast carb base. I have tried with the swap of manifolds, but if I can get it to mate with the manifold it is way off the bubble on the level.
Has anybody used this kit that worked or not. Daniel |

That aboot sums it up....
I've been wrenching on VW engines for 30+ years I won't even look at one with a single progressive. Sure you can get it to run but it will never run right. Even the factory never offered a single carb on a type four engine, and seeing as it would have been cheaper you can bet they tried. Stock FI Stock dual carbs (bus) Aftermarket FI Dual Kadrons on type one Dual webers (or dells) |
