distributor & carbs Options

[JFG]

My stock 1.7 w code motor is being built and will run twin 40 webers. The engine came with a distributor with the following part number 022 905 205 H and part of the fuel injection on it.

It has a vac advance and appears to be in excellent condition inside.

Will the above carb / dizzy combo work?

If not what set up have people found to work best based on my set up?

Thanks for the advice. Had problems with 009's in the past so will steer clear of them.

I didn't want to have to split the case but if i must so be it. If i do replace the cam (assuming next size up from standard) do i need to replace lifters & rods?

Ideally i want to keep the engine as stock 1700 as possible without pumping it up in combustion size.

Any suggestions from people who have built and run this?

If the idf's require too much work is there a twin set up alternative.

I've been on the samba but i seem to find power builds.

yes - replace the cam & lifters as a set, pushrods are not an issue,

you want a cam that is designed for carbs - google this for several good links
"camshaft for type 4 with carbs"

and be wary of bolt-on replacement cam gears since they can "come loose" and make a terrible knocking sound - be sure you properly secure the bolts & use loctite

split the case: most of us old-timers have btdt on these matters - hard knocks of experience when we had no internet to ask answeres of
