Going to dual dells - what else do I need to set them up properly? Options

[terrymason]

I'm gathering parts right now. I've already bought:

2 newly rebuilt and synced dellortos
intakes
two new (square) air filters.

I now need linkage, and am thinking about this:

and since I'd like square filters, I think I want this model:
3134 Porsche Style Linkage - fits DRLA & IDF Carbs on upright engines w/large air cleaners

Am I forgetting anything else I need to get these guys going? I currently have a single weber, so I'm hoping to reuse my fuel pump (with a T in it).

If you haven't already, get Bob Tomlinson's Dellorto Tech Book. CB has them.

Also, before you start make absolutely sure of the following:

-car is properly timed
-valves are properly set
-beware of exhaust and intake leaks (they will haunt you)

I went through this same process early last year. The biggest improvement in my carb tuning came from upgrading my ignition. I dump my 050 dizzy and went with a 009 stock dizzy and upgraded it with a Crane Cam Fireball system.

After installing the Dells, I had alot of off idle sluggishness. The stock 009 with the vac advance connected solved everything. As far as stock dizzies go, I was told by long time Porsche mechanic Wes Heldreth that the best stock dizzy for carbs was the one the came on the 74 1.8L L-jet car. Took awhile but I eventually found one. I am sure that it is not as good as the more modern Mallory's and such, but it was alot cheaper.

good luck.

Hey JR,
What is the part number of the Fireball System that you used? There are several listed on their site.
