I own a 74 1.8 with a single Weber carb. I know its not the best set up but it's what I own. What is the best fuel pump to use for these carbs? I have an electric Facet pump on the car now. Car bogs down in the corners and will not idle or run smoothly when it gets hot. Plugs look good - fluffy tan/brown color. Mechanic said maybe pump is going bad, fuel starvation coming out of corners or when hot. Looking for opinions before I do the start to replace parts and maybe that will cure the problem. Thanks.

any low volume carb pump will work.
Facet will work fine... they make an annoying rattly noise so most prefer the rotary pumps instead.

cleaning the fuel filter is a good recommendation.... but the single carb intake runners are likely going to still cause the same stumble and hesitations you are experiencing.

you didn't mention which distributor

changing intakes to a dual carb set up with the correct carb distributor will likely be the solution you are seeking.
