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 |

Sometime in the distant past when FI was expensive and difficult to keep running (yes, young people there was a time before the Interwebs). I put dual Weber 40's on my 1.9l with an appropriate "street" cam. I have no idea anymore what the specs are on that cam - it was 3 kids, 2 houses and one wife ago.. a long time.
It runs & drives fine, gas mileage isn't great, and it is pretty loud. Question: can you go back to stock FI without having to go back in and change the carb-cam? |

There are systems that will blow your mind with the detail. Don't go back to stock now since you can't. Use a modern system. Our cars deserve these upgrades as much as any. There's a lot of modern tech to improve all of it. |
