Switch to carburetors Options

[DenjaCol]

Greetings;
I have been away for the forum for awhile and my restoration project has stalled. I am thinking a switch to carburetors might get me motivated to get back on it and see if it will run. I got the car from my father in law who had it parked for almost 20 years..

Looking for recommendations on carburetors, I was thinking the single barrel carbs would be best since this is a bone stock 1.8. Which carbs are best? Which fuel pump should I use? How do you power the fuel pump? Would I need an inertia switch? Just looking for ideas.

Thanks

i dunno, i think L jet is great.
its a lot simpler then D jet.
there are not that many components to go through.
i'd stick with the L jet.

and......a 1.8 L jet in 1974 was the first car in the world to run it.
its significant.
but if you want to tear it off and replace it with carbs.
let us know, what parts you have and we (i and others) will be interested to buy.
post a photo of your engine bay.
keep everything. all those L jet parts are significant.

i haven't got any advice on carbs.
i ran a type 3 squareback with twin solex carbs back in the 80s.
it was sh$t. stayed in tune about 3 days out of 365 per year.
i admit they were solex carbs.
but my L jet just walks all over that experience.
