After hearing it and reading about it....... the factory EFI is the recommended way to go with a stock engine from a performance standpoint. That being said If you were building a carbureted car what would be the carb manufacturer, number of carbs and type of Intake manifolds you would choose for the build?

Although the kadrons (solex) work good on a type 1 up to a mild cam and 1776cc it wouldn't be my choice for a type 4. Main reason is T4 heads flow way more than a T1 head
BTW I've used kads many times.

Get the dells or webers, better yet keep the FI and do a MegaSquirt brain.

I think now I am starting to get it....These Kadrons (Solex) would work out ok on my 1.7 or 1.8 liter. But the factory EFI in the proper tune is still preferred over carbs and as good as it gets for a stock engine set up.....More desirable too.
