Great success with Weber/Redline32/36 Single Two barrel setup Options

I have recently rebuilt my mother's 72 1.7L 914 engine. She bought it in 1976 and it sat unused in her garage from 1998 until she passed in 2013. I decided on the Weber/Redline single two barrel kit for three reasons.

1. My mother kept all of the receipts of work done and most of the last ones involved fixing the fuel injection and injectors.
2. I already have a full complement of cars and motorcycles so I gave the car to my son who has very little mechanical knowledge and a simple fuel system fit the need.
3. The guy that let me use his car lift to pull the drive train has 5 914s, 3-73,1-74 and one 76. He has put the same single carb system on all of his and has had no problems.

My first impression? The car starts easily and idles smoothly. It accelerates from a light easily and cruises at speed on the freeway with very little pedal. How is the power? Climbing from 4000 feet to over 7000 ft on interstate 80 in less than 10 miles was effortless. This is a system that will run well and be simple to work on in the future. The added bonus is that the engine compartment isn't cluttered with all of the wires and hoses involved with the FI.
