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

Just my opinion so take it with a grain of salt if you wish. 1970 Lemans, we know what happened with a carbureted 6 cylinder 914, only 5 places behind a 12 cylinder fuel injected 917. And three Porsche 914/6 GTs entered in the Marathon de la Route at the Nürburgring also in 1970. 1-2-3rd place with an induction system that I have heard described as "old technology". The turbocharger showed up in 1925. New fuel injection has become the go to system, the factory system in in my 72', in 1982, was the thing that nightmares were made of. I built the engine with a cam ground for carbs, put 40 webers on and drove it like I stole it. Other than cleaning the jets once in a while weber carbs have been trouble free. Yes, a lot more knowledge is available here now about the stock FI systems. And if you want to sell down the road, I'd say leave the FI. If not, and you can't get enough of the sound of duel carbs, make them webers. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
