I'm new to 914s (although I drove a Beetle for many years) and need some advice on carburetors. THe '71 914 I bought had its FI replaced with a carb although I don't know what kind. it's rebuilt engine is not in the car so I can't tell how it works. I was told the carb is a "no-bowl" variety which is typically used for racing and would not be that great on the street.
What would be a good carburetor/fuel pump for me? I want something for street use and an occasional autocross, decent mileage, and reasonable performance. I do have the old FI parts but 1) they're scattered in several boxes so I don't know what's what, 2) they look pretty grungy. It seems the easier route would be a carburetor. |
