We are converting a stock 2 liter 4 cyl from D jet to Webers. My gut is telling me a 40 IDF with 32mm venturis is the correct starting point. I am considering purchase of a complete set of 44 IDF's, but are unable to locate 32 mm venturis. Assuming 32MM venturis can be found are 44 IDF"s too large for a stock 2 liter?
thank you |

When I had my 2056 carbed I tried 44s and 40s.
The 44s had ALL the power in the top end. If I was racing, it would have been ideal. Car would hit readline and just KEEP GOING until I was floating valves. Not great for regular driving, but fun when I could open it up. 40s were a better mix, but did not have the same oomph that the 44s had. BUT I bet most of that was the defective gasket set I got that did not have all the jet holes punched and caused me to be fighting with the carbs so bad that I eventually went to EFI. That said, Microsquirt EFI has been the best. Zach |
