Ok I get it the fuel doesn't stay atomized in the runners and this causes poor fuel mileage, drivabillity concerns etc, I understand. But for those of us poor souls who for one reason or another are committed to this carb (the holley weber), has anyone tried heating the runners either electronically or with a subsequent exhaust runner ie type 1 vw and if so did it help with any of the concerns. my second question could anyone post a photo of what the throttle linkage should look like. i have a stock throttle cable and a cobbed together carb from a type 4 kit that has the carb turned 90 degrees and the cable wont reach the carb. any help will be appreciated.

The problem with the single progressive on a 914, is that someone made a kit, it bolts up, and it's cheap; so somehow it's gotta work right?
The single progressive will always fail to perform in one way or another. The only way those things do OK, is at cruising speed with a constant CFM. You can tinker with the jetting, and if you find the intake manifolds with smallest runners you can find, it will help. Nothing will ever make it work right, or give you close to optimum performance. |
