I have just about given up on trying to make the car more driveable with the single Weber on my'74 1.8. Never could get it right. If you were going to buy new twin carbs, manifolds, etc what would you buy and from who?
Thanks. Ed |

No experience with these carbs or your engine.
But have always had carbs on my cars - I am a per injection baby. Anyway years and years ago a well respected carburetor genius, I mean this man really know his stuff, more then once said " Carbs get blamed as being the issue when it is really an ignition or valve timing/adjustment problem." Just to add to what others have mentioned. |

If the OP isn't going back to FI the Dellorto's are a great choice as I found them easy to set up I haven't worked with IDF's but have used other Webers such as ICT and DCNFV's in the past. |
