My car came with a fuel injection conversion to a Weber downdraft—I need to order a rebuild kit but not sure which version of the carb this is. Anyone recognize it?Attached Image

You made a good choice. To confirm what others have said, I tried running the single carb setup on a 1.7L and a VW bus. Both ran well enough for grocery getters but would bog down on acceleration and it took the soul out of the 914. Both would freeze up half way to work on cold days and leave me stranded at the side of the road trying to thaw the runners and the block of ice around he carb. Back then you could by dual 34ICT kits for not much more than the single carb so that's what I replaced the singles with. Still no top end but I didn't have to sweet talk them into moving every time I stepped on the gas and were much less prone to freezing (although it still happened on rare occasions.
