Does anyone run a Progressive 32-36 single carb system. It just seems it would be a lot easier to keep tuned. I have a 1.7 without F.I. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Oooopppsss!!
My bad typing at work, I just edited the post. (My brain sort of melded the "914" and "1.7" into a wishful thinking sort of mess . . . ) Wouldn't it be beyond WONDERFUL to own a 917?!? Whenever we checked the compression on an (72 and up Bus VW type IV) engine--standard proceedure, along with fuel and oil pressure whenever a bus came in for repairs--it was lower than that of my 914 (NOT 917). I had always thought that the engine used in the bus was a little de-tuned from that found in the 914 (and 411/412 VW sedans). I had heard that the dish in the bus pistons wasn't in the Porsche pistons. Also, the progressive carbs seem to respond better to a cam which made me think that the grind in a 914 was slightly different than that in a VW Bus/type IV. I might be wrong, if I am PLEASE let me know since I've been going on the above assumption for almost six years and if it's in error . . . well, I want to know. Thanks, TC |
