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 |

Fuel injection is more advanced yes. Also burns cleaner... That being said I put carbs on my six in 2008 and its still running great! If you do it correctly it can be very reliable. They also created lots of raw power for me. I don't know much about L-jet or D-jet to be fair, I was getting rid of CIS.
My buddies car had problems with his L-jet so we switch it to carbs and it ran good for him for a few years until he sold it. Make sure you change the fuel pump to low pressure. But because carbs have some flatspots in the acceleration and they run so rich at cruise and idle to get them right, I am going to put on a new throttle body injection setup soon. I am hoping I can keep my reliability. |
