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 |

I agree with others here that proper tuning is the most important factor to any carburetor set up and that they can give good service. If I had it to do over again, however, I would use a fuel injection system. The idle jets on the carbs have a tendency to plug pretty easily, although cleaning them is an easy, fairly quick chore. That said, my 1974 2.0 runs dual Weber 44 IDF’s and an Ignitor II Electronic Ignition w/original Vacuum Advance Distributor along with a Flame Thrower II Coil. I think it would run just as well with a little smaller carburetor, but the 44’s can be tuned to run very well. When everything is tuned properly it is a real kick in the pants to drive! |
