I'm considering going to look at a '73 2.0L. The only thing holding me back is the FI has been converted to Webber 40's? What seems to work better/have more potential on 914's - the FI or Carbs? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

Any advice from those that have been there would be appriciated.

well - WELCOME to you too!

anyway - no problem - 914.6's came with carbs.

A couple of highjacks:

Went to Bavarian Auto Parts yesterday, looking for a 10 x 1.5 nut. Him: "We don't carry nuts or bolts" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) Me: when did AP stores stop carrying fasteners? Him: if I tried to stock nuts and bolts, I'd need a big warehouse. We specialize in parts. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) Me: ...dazed look... His partner: There's an Auto Zone up the street. Me: uhh, thanks?

And Mueller: Chevy, not Ford. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

End of Highjack (from me)

Just to add one more piece of input:

Here in Colorado, a car has to have the original emission equipment that the car was manufactured with, and be able to pass an emissions test (minimum unburned hydrocarbons/ not too rich, etc. from a chart for each car model). This alone keeps me from looking at cars with carbs. Even if the car is more than 30 years old, and has "collector plates", it must be tested every time it changes owners before new plates will be issued (I think I have those details right).

Take care,
Lorrin

Not so much. My 72 was rebuilt in 95 with a cam, euro pistons and dual 40's - and it was still running points at the time. It went right through - twice actually.

As far as selling the car, there are ways around that as well, usually through a title transfer. Just had to do that when the xk140 was purchased.
