After many shenanigans with trying to get the FI board refurbished, I have decided to give up my quest and go dual carbs. I know, I know, It was not an easy desicion for me to make and I have waited a whole year almost and still don't have my car (1974 1.8).
Ok, now to my questions... What is the best performing dual carb setup for a stock 1.8 motor? (i am looking for a dual carb setup that I can put on the car and will work w/ the stock engine). I'm trying to avoid changing out the cam for now. In the future I would like to change the cam but can i simply rejet a dual carb setup to work with a new cam? All help is appreciated greatly! Thanks! |

QUOTE(Joe Ricard @ May 30 2007, 06:25 PM)  Dual 40 IDF's with 28mm Vents. Jetting is tough to nail down not knowing exhaust, ignition and climate you run. 50 Idle jets, 125 Main 180 air is a complete stab in the dark I live in Los Angeles California, engine and exhaust is completely stock but the engine was rebuilt to stock specs at some point. I also have a crane optical ignition fireball 700 or somthing like that. Will the suggested setup, "50 Idle jets, 125 Main 180 air is a complete stab in the dark" work for me here in Cali? |
