think ive decided on getting the largest size typeIV i can to build for the car, am also planning on a pertronix? billet alum distributor with ignitor II , and am looking at a set of brosol/solex carbs in either 40s or 44s , cept the carbs i found say they are for a type 1 dual port , but they come with all the hardware manifolds etc for what id say was a reasonable price of bout $430 for the 40s and $499 for the 44s.this is for brand new, not remanufactured.


would these work?

Go for it bro. If you can, get your kit from Raby, he has a 20% off on two engine kits; the 2056 & 2270. The sale is ending Feb. 13 on wednesday this coming week!!! He's got a 2270 stroker kit which will make some good HPs for the same price as the standard 2270 which is for about 150HPs. If your ready to get a rebuild kit, September is the time to do it!!

directly replaces a 009 does it? And how good are 009's? Do they pass the float test? Are you building a water pump or a car here?

I am not sure exactly what this means ^^ but if you can afford it you don't want to cheap

out on your dizzy or your carbs for that matter. I could suggest brand names

but I think you should check out the search funtion and read what has been

proven to be funtional, durable and performance inhancing.

well jake in his show said that pertronix was better than the bosch 009 and its cnc machined to pretty tight tolerances with a +0.00 to -0.003 . almost as good as the MSD one and at bout 200 bucks i wouldnt call it exactly cheap ( dist)


carbs now, im still looking into those more and ill also look a bit more into distributors

but so far these seemed to be good as far as quality/pricing

Just about anything is better than the 009. Cheap is relative.

In the classifieds here there is a used set of 40 IDF's with manifolds, linkage and

air filters for.... I think it was $375.00. Rebuild kits are inexpensive.

That I'll agree with. The 009 was for an industrial engine that runs at a fixed RPM, good for pumps and generators, terrible for cars. You want something for a sports car engine.

The 009 was developed for Porsche 912/616 race engines.

BTW- My special is only for Radio Show listeners. If I believe that a purchaser has not listened to the show they will be given a test about radio show content before the order will be initiated.
